I was broke pocket full of lint
now I'm on the bricks
getting paid like no other dog now I'm stackin' chips
on the road
like a trucker man had to take some trips
doing shows for my brothers but strapped with extra
clicks
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 getty green hell with some time
there some crime that
was petty seem still getting mine
all this hate trip I'm hearing though you I ain't
fearing
better try to be growing old man with your children
escalate what a nigga staring
his last days nearing
trying to get it right with god only one who I'm fearing
hopin' I'ma
make it keep it real
never knew I get the chances for a nigga to get paid
so I take it
living like a player should
wishin' that you could knowin' it's all to the good
still down
with the hood
[Chorus: repeat]
This Life We Live (Life as we see it)
See
it's oh so beautiful (Oh it's so) beautiful
Oh so beautiful (Oh it's so
beautiful)

Last year my cousin took a fall, a sad song
seem like
we were 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' liqour fallin' on my face
wondering 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 niggaz health watch your step you ain't Lazarus
you'll meet
your death
I'm the man from the North, North site 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
sun cool for a player
when I ride through the streets hoes are plentiful
Cause the life
that we live so beau-ti-ful
[(Chorus) 2x]

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 help me in the times
when I was flat broke didn't even have a
dime
my family they was there, my niggaz they was there
the rest of ya'll 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
man, 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'
how low to dope
either treal either fake
you can love
you can hate
either go and get your own or you can't sit and wait
on the next man to come
up you can peep this
you can do what I do handle your bu-si-ness
