Love My Life

Ayo, I never claim to hard, tough, no homo, gangsta, none of the above

Just a kid from 140th and Lennox Ave, Harlem USA

tryin to make his way in the world, ya heard?

You know in the trials and tribulations that life brings

I lost some friends, incarcerated, some are gone forever

You know you can't expect everything from everybody

(I got you right now) So get up, get out and get somethin

That's what I did

[Verse 1]

Before I had the hamma cocked (cocked) or Santana rocked (Santana rocked)

Little Jerv, Grandpa Jerry, Grandma doc (that's my fam)

Uncle Carl, Uncle Ted, Uncle Steve, Uncle Bill

Cousin Steve, Cousin Bill up on the hill, now (whattup y'all)

My Aunt Normy, I don't speak to my Aunt Dida

Or my Cousin Bashiba, but I love my mother Frederica (whattup ma)

Neighbor Freda, daughter Raven and Nicka (uh huh)

Down another doorbell was that nigga Wardnell

He gave birth to the best MC you never heard

Lever after lever and was clever wit whatever word (who you talkin bout?)

Derrick Armstead, Bloodshed from C.O.C. (C.O.C.)

He did damage, road managed by GOD

A.k.a. DukeDaGod, he was stupid hard

sixteen, a bitch dream, had stupid cars (had the license)

Color 68', coupe 75'

Still drive some bullshit, I don't know why

I love the nigga though, for him put cris in the air

First one diss 'em in here, swear, I'll risk my career (career)

That's a fact dick, ain't talkin no rap shit (nope)

I'm talkin that mac clip (clip), niggaz will back-flip

Act sick, my dude studied the Sabbath (Sabbath)

No beef, veggie nigga, maybe some catfish (he buggin)

He can have my house (house), he can keep my Maurys (Maurys)

He can drive my cars, this a Eastside Story

That's why my dudes love me, I let them do them

You either gon be rich or famous fuckin wit me...probably both

If you happen to brush shoulders with me by accident, play lotto

Nine out ten times you gon win nigga

[Chorus 2X - Nicole Wray]

Play the game, sure to win

They all up on me, know they want my ends

I sacrifice, I roll the dice

I love the hood, I love my life

[Verse 2]

See a boss I'm prepared to be (be)

When I walk away from a confrontation

I ain't scared of you, I'm scared of me (scared of me)

I got a gun, you don't, so it flares you'll see (flares)

After that, a five-thousand volt chair for me (damn)

So I move carefully, niggaz don't care for me (nope)

Who care, I don't, you share, I won't (I won't)

Calm down, (huh huh) breathe again (breathe!)

I don't do extortion unless I want a receivin end (ya hear that?)

Talk to my money, first time I heard her speak (what she say?)

That's word to me, told me I deserve to eat (what happened?)

Moved to a killa ave, right from a murda street (what you did?)

Rocked Adidas Forms, even though they hurt my feet (fucked up)

I don't look in the sky, nevermind stars (nope)

Know some fine stars, (where?) right behind bars (who)

Snags, Black, Doe on house arrest (house arrest)

Zeek, Sheek, won't even through out the rest (won't even mention)

They wanted my ass, right along side Zeek

Turn myself in? Nope play hide and go seek (hide n seek)

I'm gone, put the clip in the chrome

Ya I'm just like a fly, see the shit that I'm on?

And hour after hour, I would chill at the after hours

Where they flash the powder (powder), no bath our shower (funky)

In that same spot, realized math is power

So I point at the house, that is ours

[Chorus 3X - Nicole Wray]

[Nicole Wray]

Can you feel me? Can you feel me?

Whooooo whooooo

BAAABBBBBBBYYYYYYY

AHHHHHHHHHHH

Yea Yea

Whoooo whoo whoo whoooo
