Life We Live

Lyrics

[Verse 1: Project Pat] I was broke, pocket full of lint, now I'm on the bricks Gettin' paid like no other, dog, now I'm stackin' chips On the road like a trucker, mane, had to take some trips Doing shows for my brothers but strapped with extra clips Just in case any sucker would wanna run his lips A female; I don't trust her 'cause women like to trip I stay all by my ghetty green, hell with some time Did some crime that was petty, seem still gettin' mine All this hatred I'm hearin', though, you I ain't fearin' Better try to be growin' old, mane, with your children Escalade what a nigga steerin', last days nearin' Tryin' to get it right with God, only one who I'm fearin' Hopin' I'ma make it, keep it real Never knew I get the chances for a nigga to get paid So I take it, livin' like a player should Wishin' that you could, knowin' it's all to the good Still down with the hood [Chorus: Namond Lumpkin] This life we livin' (Life as we live it) See, it's oh so beautiful (Oh, it's so beautiful) Oh, so beautiful (Oh, it's so beautiful) This life we livin' (Life as we live it) See, it's oh so beautiful (Oh, it's so beautiful) Oh, so beautiful (Oh, it's so beautiful) [Verse 2: Project Pat] Last year my cousin took a fall, a sad song Seem like we was just on the phone, now he gone People use to try to judge him, sayin' he was wrong But you can't try to judge a man, you do you wrong Smokin' out on a daily base, I'm in the clouds Drinkin' liquor, fallin' on my face, wonderin' how I survive all this foolishness up in the street Ridin' dirty, I ain't new to this, I'm packin' heat But the streets very hazardous to a niggas health Watch your step, you ain't Lazarus, you'll meet your death I'm the man from the North-North-Side of the town With the will to support me and keep 'em found Stayin' down, got your gold grills, Dro in the air Barbecue on the grill, some cool for a player When I ride through the streets, hoes are plentiful 'Cause the life that we live so beautiful [Chorus: Namond Lumpkin] This life we livin' (Life as we live it) See, it's oh so beautiful (Oh, it's so beautiful) Oh, so beautiful (Oh, it's so beautiful) This life we livin' (Life as we live it) See, it's oh so beautiful (Oh, it's so beautiful) Oh, so beautiful (Oh, it's so beautiful) [Verse 3: Project Pat] Gotta take the good with the bad, smile with the sad Love what you got and remember what you had Messin' with the ones who helped me in the times When I was flat broke didn't even have a dime My family they was there, my niggas they was there The rest of y'all left me for dead, didn't care I use to have dreams, livin' large in this thang And by the grace of God, I'm still alive in this thang I strive in this game to get all that I can Never said I'm the mane, respect me as a man To you ones think I owe you somethin', now that's a joke Think you bad? Come and get you somethin' — hollows to throat Either trill, either fake, you can love, you can hate Either go and get your own, or you can sit and wait On the next man to come up; You can peep this You can't do what I do, handle your business [Chorus: Namond Lumpkin] This life we livin' (Life as we live it) See, it's oh so beautiful (Oh, it's so beautiful) Oh, so beautiful (Oh, it's so beautiful) This life we livin' (Life as we live it) See, it's oh so beautiful (Oh, it's so beautiful) Oh, so beautiful (Oh, it's so beautiful)
