Life Is What You Make It (feat. DMX)

Yo ill will, ruff ryders
 What what, straight like that
 You a killer or a hustler, dealer or customer
 Gangsta or buster, youngster or old nigga
 A weed head, a coke sniffer
 You rich or a broke nigga
 Know you all relate to this shit that I wrote niggas
 Lots of my mans trapped up in a max
 Penatentary, sending me letters, I answer back
 That eventually, we be all bentley'ed out
 Throwing campaigns, fuck it, I'm running for White House
 My niggas control Senate, pipe seats, jeeps tinted
 Mad Lewinsky chicks, some kinky shit
 Did dirt, now I knew it would come back one day
 So I'm on point, scrap, prepare for gun play
 Stared at one face, thought it was beef, he looked familiar
 Ready to blast, nigga 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"
 Life is what you make it nigga, I'm a make it
 No matter what it takes my nigga, we gonna take it
 Life is what you make it nigga, I'm a make it
 No matter what it takes my nigga, we gonna take it
 Life is what you make it nigga, I'm a make it
 No matter what it takes my nigga, we gonna take it
 Life is what you make it nigga, I'm a make it
 No matter what it takes my nigga, we gonna take it
 Everyday shit around the way, shit got me stressed
 So I keep on the vest in case a nigga wanna test
 I got no time for games 'cause I'm all grown up
 You wanna joke nigga? Laugh when you get blown up
 See how funny it is when your kids ain't got no father
 'Cause you played it sweet, now you floating in the harbor
 Shit is hectic, so respect it for your health
 Didn't think it was right, you should've checked it yourself
 Life is too short to get caught up in some dumb shit
 Wake up one day, 40 years old on some bumb shit
 Time flew by, you was too fly to see the light
 Everyday it's getting darker, then comes the night
 Now what? Realize that you ain't got shit
 Not long ago you was the man on some hot shit
 So just peep the flow yo', cause you already in this
 Make sure your shit is right kid and handle your business
 Life is what you make it nigga, I'm a make it
 No matter what it takes my nigga, we gonna take it
 Life is what you make it nigga, I'm a make it
 No matter what it takes my nigga, we gonna take it
 Life is what you make it nigga, I'm a make it
 No matter what it takes my nigga, we gonna take it
 Life is what you make it nigga, I'm a make it
 No matter what it takes my nigga, we gonna take it
 Make history before you go
 Fuck the misery, you livin' po, we gettin' doe
 Except the dollars other reasons why I'm living yo', 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 if 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
 If you catch a bad deal, watch your life diminish
 Deals made by God and the Devil, and we in it
 Pawns in the game, can't complain or say shit
 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 nigga, let's get this cash nigga
 Life is what you make it nigga, I'm a make it
 No matter what it takes my nigga, we gonna take it
 Life is what you make it nigga, I'm a make it
 No matter what it takes my nigga, we gonna take it
 Life is what you make it nigga, I'm a make it
 No matter what it takes my nigga, we gonna take it
 Life is what you make it nigga, I'm a make it
 No matter what it takes my nigga, we gonna take it
