Yo ill [bad word] ryders
what what, sraight like that

You a killer or a hustler, dealer or customer
Gangsta or buster, youngster or old [bad word] weed head, a coke sniffer
You rich or a broke [bad word] Know you all relate to this [bad word] that i wrote niggas
Lots of my mans trapped up in a max
Penatentary, sending me letters i answer back
That eventually, we all be bentley'ed out
Throwing campaigns, [bad word] it [bad word] for White House
My niggas control Senate, pipe seats jeeps tinted
Mad Lewinsky chicks, some kinky [bad word] Did dirt now I knew it [bad word] back one day
So I'm on point, scrap, prepare for gunplay
Stared at one face, thought it was beef he looked familiar
Ready to blast  [bad word] gave me daps said I feel ya
Can't believe how my life changed
From the hood, the first time in my life I can say i did the right thing
 [bad word]  4x
Life is what you make it [bad word]  I'ma make it
No matter what it takes my [bad word]  we gonna take it(uh)

Everyday [bad word]  around the way [bad word] got me stressed (what)
So i keep on the vest in case a [bad word] wanna test (uh)
I got no time for games cause I'm all grown up
You wanna joke [bad word]  laugh when you get blown up [bad word] on)
See how funny it is when your kids aint got no father
Cause you played it sweet now you floating in the harbor (for real) [bad word] is hectic so respect it for your health (what)
Didn't think it was right, you should've checked it yourself [bad word] on)
Life is too short to get caught up in some dumb [bad word] Wake up one day, 40 years old on some bumb [bad word] Time flew by, you was too fly to see the light

[Nas]
Make history before you go [bad word] the misery, you po we gettin doe
Except the ?dollars? other reasons why I'm living yo (why?)
Time is viable
Low and behold the young, black, and powerful
Got to eat yo, everyday my daughters feet grow
You wack and cheap with the doe, my heat could blow
Payin doctors when I'm born, a preacher when I'm buried
That's why cash is needed for my kids to inherit
Gotta pay just for living, tax life is a b'ness (business)
If you catch a bad deal, watch your life deminish
Deals made by God and the Devil, and we in it
Pawns in the game, [bad word] or say [bad word] Just strap up and hold on, hope for the best
prepare for the worse, no fears no nothing on earth
No tears if I'm dumped in a hearse, I won't be the first
Nor the last [bad word]  let's get this cash [bad word]  [bad word]
