Yeah we balling baby
(as we proceed to give you what we need) thats right
Oh you dont know we gonna tell you how it is
Chorus:
When you living the good life good life
Everything is tight money right
Everbody wanna be by youre side trying to ride
Such a good life good life
When you living the good life good life
Everything is tight money right
Everbody wanna be by youre side trying to ride
Such a good life, good life
Verse one:
You thought it was a fad, you really cant understand rap
How these young playas come up and live fat
Big houses, cars, watch the homies bubble
Do a lot of good but cant stay out of trouble
?? cause hes the president, he bought a lot of stuff you could never get
Take us to the game you wanna see my bus,
But all the little kids wanna be like us
When they get home, and turn the tv on,
Its too $hort baby on the microphone
I see a lot of styles when im watching videos
Looking at the backround talking at the hoes
Then they r and b cats incorporated rap into their program
(what happened to the slow jams)
We dropping platinum, numba one, bitch, thats how its done
Chorus:
When you living the good life, good life
Everything is tight, money right
Everbody wanna be by youre side, trying to ride
Such a good life, good life
When you living the good life, good life
Everything is tight, money right
Everbody wanna be by youre side, trying to ride
Such a good life, good life
Verse two:
Lil homie went to school everyday, knew what he wanted
Wa`nt trying to be a thug wa`nt trying to get blunted
It was all a dream, but theres certain things
You gotta do, like do go
