[Intro: Kurupt & (Bye Bye Man) Yeah, my life Kurupt Young Gotti, Bye Bye Man (The life I live) Yeah (Yeahhh) Life's a bitch, homie, damn [Chorus: Bye Bye Man & (Kurupt) Back in the days, growin up in the hood Growin up in the hood (in the hood) Runnin those city streets, always up to no good (And homie) We're up all night (all night) And sleep all day (sleep all) Struggling to find a way to get paid The life I live Yeah, money and cars Life of a gangsta in a world of stars (the life I live) Family and friends The way life start and the ways it ends Eight filled with inspiration, sixteen separated Seventeen I graduated, twenty-one I finally made it Hope floats, life drifts, money waste, blood drip Learn a little bit, earn a little more A closed mouth don't get fed, death behind doors This is my insurance, just to reinsure It's hard to exist in this existence Pistol blades and fists in this existence I travel a million miles just so I can see A million and one miles, a million and one thousand cases And carry the case just like crates and weights Seal fates and mindstates, imperial game Help you survive, set with the imperial aim To shoot through clouds, you a little quiet You just too loud, you need a silencer You bust too loud [Chorus: Bye Bye Man & (Kurupt) Back in the days, growin up in the hood Growin up in the hood (in the hood) Runnin those city streets, always up to no good (Always up to no good) We're up all night (up all night) And sleep all day (sleep all day) Struggling to find a way to get paid (The Hollywood) The life I live Yeah, money and cars Life of a gangsta in a world of stars (the life I live) (T-Dub, remember) Family and friends The ways lives starts and the ways they end Broken down, taken up, dropped off, knocked off Grew up, blew up, what now? Shut down, shackled, shamed, singled out, blamed With not enough heart to stand up for I ain't got a pistol pointed, what ya hand up for? Gave up lost cause, that's somethin we're fightin for Lost it followin crowds, look at a nigga now It doesn't matter who's wrong or right, I guess Long as you fight for yours with all might, I guess This whole confrontation, too much stress Wars for the wrong reasons, how my momma's lookin at me How the hood's lookin at me, bad or good lookin at me Mellowin out to Sade, c'est la vie I'm somethin you don't never wanna grow up to be Dogg Pound Gangstas, DPG Sincerely to you, paragraph by me Young Gotti [Chorus: Bye Bye Man & (Kurupt) Back in the days, growin up in the hood Growin up in the hood (in the hood) Runnin those city streets, always up to no good (Always up to no good) We're up all night (up all night) And sleep all day (sleep all day) Struggling to find a way to get paid (Find a way to get paid) The life I live Yeah, money and cars The life of a gangsta in a world of stars (the life I live) Bout my family and friends The ways lives starts and how they end What a day, why trip? I been livin too much of my life in the hip Hop, the six-fo' round the block When all the homies used to bang "Planet Rock" Get ya game together, learn to earn More admiration and less street concern A penny saved is a million in a year I be bustin 'til there's no fillin in ya ear Moves calculated, just a sneak peak For the homies pushin Mad Dog, Threads and Unique I don't know what they playin fo' I got a feelin 'bout what we'll be sprayin fo' There's a time for e'rything, trust me, homie Don't try to oversell me, undercut me, homie Keep it on the one and you'll reach the two And to all the real homies, this one's for you [Chorus: Bye Bye Man & (Kurupt) Back in the days, growin up in the hood Growin up in the hood Runnin those city streets, always up to no good (Always up to no good) We're up all night (up all night) And sleep all day (sleep all day) Struggling to find a way to get paid (I gots to find a way to get paid) The life I live [Outro: Kurupt & (Bye Bye Man) Yeah, money and cars Life of a gangsta in a world of stars (the life I live) Yeah, with my family and friends It's the ways lives starts and the ways they end (the life I live) Yeah, my life (the life I live) Kurupt Young Gotti (yeahhh) The life I live The life I live The life I live The life I live
