[Napoleon] (talking) |
|
Outlawz... could never touch the kids in the ghetto man |
|
That's where I'm from..... man |
|
[Chorus] |
|
This is our life |
|
Even tho' the sun dont always shine |
|
It's still our life |
|
If you keep yo head up everything will be alright |
|
In living your life |
|
[Napoleon] |
|
I'm damn near 'bout to go in tears |
|
Writin' this verse here |
|
I feel like I'm cursed here |
|
I'm choked up since I lost my peers |
|
But I know one day we be back again |
|
One love to my Mexicans |
|
Tryin' to run across the border |
|
To see freedom all over again |
|
Man... One love to my Africans |
|
They try to kill us with AIDS |
|
But they smart again |
|
It's like I die once that I be born again |
|
With the grace of Allah |
|
Kept away my sins |
|
From the ghetto where they play with heavy metal to win |
|
Lost my parents so I moved with my next-of-kin |
|
Life.... just so mych pain to me |
|
To tell the truth I dont wanna die angrily |
|
Makaveli and Kadafi, them trained me |
|
I feel yall in the dark steady hatin' me |
|
[Chorus] |
|
This is our life |
|
Even tho' the sun dont always shine |
|
It's still our life |
|
If you keep yo head up everything will be alright |
|
In living your life |
|
[Edi] |
|
In '96 we was on top of the world |
|
Videos, movies, money, jewels and girls |
|
Rolls Royces, Hummers, Jagz and all that |
|
Hard to believe one night in Vegas changed all that |
|
Fast forward... 6 years |
|
Man, we still here |
|
Despite be hated on (huh) |
|
We still clear |
|
Until the end of time you cant stop destiny |
|
Back for everything they owe |
|
Now let's go |
|
[Young Noble] |
|
I got the spirit of a angel |
|
The heart of a soldier |
|
The mind of a militant |
|
Was blessed by my mother |
|
The inspiration of my life |
|
She 4 years clean |
|
With 15 years on the pipe |
|
And she just got married |
|
I felt pain... ya sayin' Pac smilin' at the wedding |
|
Never forget her mah' |
|
Yall baby fool, I promise to ya Imma stay a trooper |
|
Outlawz done die |
|
We forever move |
|
[Chorus] |
|
This is our life |
|
Even tho' the sun dont always shine |
|
It's still our life |
|
If you keep yo head up everything will be alright |
|
In living your life |
|
[Kastro] |
|
Oh... I'm on, pens and needles |
|
Needles and pens |
|
These 2 Tims was my Beemer |
|
Before I heard of a Benz |
|
I got lost tryin' to find my ends |
|
And got crossed tryin' to find me a friend |
|
That's life.... |
|
We sacrifice for better days |
|
We pray for a better way that never came |
|
Hey! (hey.. hey) |
|
What's more precious then a innocent child, smilin' |
|
??? was foul, look at his smile |
|
School's not cool |
|
Them big body rules |
|
The workin' mans a fool |
|
If he cant afford the jewels |
|
Look at how life use ya |
|
Abuse and confuse ya |
|
Remember we was suppose to be the future? |
|
Now we grown |
|
The future is here and we gone |
|
Oh where did we go wrong |
|
Let's live... |
|
And do right by these kids my friend |
|
They the only shot we got at living life again |
|
C'mon |
|
[Chorus - repeat 2X] |
|
This is our life |
|
Even tho' the sun dont always shine |
|
It's still our life |
|
If you keep yo head up everything will be alright |
|
In living your life |
