Lyrics

[Intro: Noreaga] Word, I can't stop thinkin' of the game, you know what I mean? Can't get the game out my mind I gotta get out the game tonight though, you know what I'm sayin'? In this day and time This is real, you know what I'm sayin'? Growin' up, I did my little dirt Sold my little work, you know what I'm sayin'? Yeah [Verse 1: Noreaga] Yo, I grew up like the regular thug, sold drugs Wasn't proud about it, but that's just what I gotta do I copped the Jordans and the Filas too Yo, I loved the Bo Jacksons, the orange and blue Used to snatch Lee patches, now I wear Cartier glasses Thinking that the Earth axis Revolves around my will and how the fuck I feel Yo, I played ball for Vince, yo, I handled the pill Then it dawned on me, came strong on me I belonged with these niggas thuggin' with me So I switched crews, started rolling with the older dudes Drinking brews, did what they say, then paid dues My hands dirty, tryna keep little me up And got jerked the first time I tried to re-up People my age tried to say slow my speed up 'Cause I'd smoke bogies, stay throwing weed up [Chorus: Carl Thomas & Noreaga] I love my life (I love my life, yo) Sold drugs my life (Did it all in my time) Live my whole life (Live it up) I sacrificed (Sacrificed twice) This game we play (Play for keeps) I live and pray (Control the streets) Happy or sad (Yo, just live your life, baby, live your life, baby) [Verse 2: Noreaga] Yo, yo, �yo, since the days of Spofford,� I used to run with Rob Crawford,� Troy Outlaw, Freddie Bedrock, and Joe Wu Vernon and Timbuk, Chan Dooner, and Sha Shoes Section Two �part of Iraq I grew up at Had to learn how to slap box instead of a gat I never knew rap, all I knew was crack Yo, it's rules to this game and people to blame When you see another little brother doing the same As you used to, growing up like you Playing skully with his heat out, cellular phone Getting little drug money, but got the world sewn I recall when T-Bone died, yo, I cried It's hard to get tarred up with God jewel Part two, Smily got shot up too (Rest in peace) Ayo, you realize that you miss a nigga (Miss him) When you realize that you never gon' see him again [Chorus: Carl Thomas & Noreaga] I love my life (I love my life now) Sold drugs my life (Did it all in my time) Live my whole life (Live it up) I sacrificed (Sacrificed twice) This game we play (Play for keeps) I live and pray (Control the streets) Happy or sad (Just live your life, baby, live your life, baby, live your life) [Verse 3: Noreaga] Ayo, it's totally up to the team, to me So don't make a move if you don't ask me I'm casually known, halfly blown In Miami 'cause now Uncle Wise came home Jungle copped me a Rollie, copped dunn one, too You keep it real with a person, keep it real with you Use confidence, Thugged Out aimed for dominance Nostradamus, E-Bliss, wrists just like Glamorous Dimeno, Grenade, iced out for Tito Puerto Rico, we live life now 'cause we know The other side of the fence ain't friendly It's just war in there, dunn, there ain't no Henny I can't live that, d�j� vu, I did that I gained stats, thumping with cats over Kit Kats Now I spit raps, park my Benz where the chicks at And just live with a big stack [Chorus: Carl Thomas] I love my life Sold drugs my life Live my whole life I sacrificed This game we play I live and pray Happy or sad I love my life Sold drugs my life Live my whole life I sacrificed This game we play I live and pray Happy or sad I love my life Sold drugs my life Live my whole life I sacrificed This game we play I live and pray Happy or sad [Outro: Carl Thomas] I love my life Sold drugs my life Live my whole life I sacrificed
