This is life
This is life
But it's paradise for me

From the cradles to the stiff coffin, legit fortune
I lean for them corner fiends, crip-walking
Wedding-bells, I'm out of that shell of slick talking
Honeymoon, deep scuba diving, kissing the dolphins

I lived though, I quit flossing, I forgive though this [bad word] s costing
At the crib with the kids often, coasting
Ski-boating on the beach ocean
Hoping them old closed cases never re-open

Moving, ya'll minor leagues, I'm like speed motion
Muscles through my white tee's woken, he's holding
Hypnotic, spit [bad word] you sit and vibe wit, melodic
I mental escape through all the garbage

This is life
This is life
This is life
This is life

One in a million, I'm strong, young and appealing
Was born son a villain, put on in front of my building
Peeping how the street [bad word] decease brothers
Critique, but I was placed here to reach others
 [bad word]  stand feet from the deep cover
Eternal sleep, I wonder if the Beast love us
The frail weaken, the stronger be in jail eating
The average male will make it home if the bail's decent

I inhale frequent, it alleviate great, to be a part of the game
Can't be a day late to be a part of the same
Need a g' a day take, five if you live, slide mines on the side

This is life
This is life
This is life
This is life

Mics, money and music, my life's for you to view it
I stand militant, my stripes came from the sewage
Interrogation lights, spend nights up in the cubics
Fistfights, I'm nice like Earl Huvick

Harmonizing, narration is traumatizing
Here since '94, it's still kinda surprising
I touched topics, safe-boxes, unlocked [bad word] zone keep my tone on one octave

Owe nothing, won't ask to hold nothing
Clean behind the scene, but control buttons
Brought it back for the essence that got watered in rap
'Cuz I'm a aura, I bring more to track
