Hi Life

Hi life, we livin' that hi life
 Hi life, we livin' that hi life, mmm
 (Hi life, mmm)
 I'm tired livin' fucked up, tired of livin' bad
 Tired of hearing grandma tellin' me
 When you gonna go to church Chad
 Now I'm tryin' to live up to the image
 That she would want me to be
 But I got one foot in the street
 And every week I flip a Ki
 I never wanted to be a G
 But niggas depend on me
 It ain't safe to hit I-10
 So niggas fear with me
 And all the niggas that I went to school wit
 Got cool wit, went to fool wit
 I dealt selling that white shit
 Pushin' cocaine, niggas holding pistols
 Dependant on the game
 What ya want me to do?
 It's like somebody cut my throat
 Got 20, 000 dollar tryin' to turn it to a hundred
 And ain't nobody got no dough
 So niggas came to smoke, bad habits do exist
 And if this bitch came thinking to ease my mind
 By sucking my dick
 Bitch make up for a minute 'cause that ship never lasts
 In 1996 niggas is dyin' from layin' on that ass
 First Magic Johnson got it, then Eazy-E died
 And you wonder why yo' niggas out there smokin' fry
 I wish that I could tell you, I wore a rubber every time
 But if I told you that nigga you know that I be lyin'
 And I've been fucking pussy since the tender age of nine
 It's gettin' to be a full-time job just tryin' to stay alive
 And Crackers tend to smirk
 Offended by the weed smoke comin' off my shirt
 But still I puts in work and front for my folks
 'Cause where I come from nigga, family just ain't no joke
 Now D be gettin' married and Edgar on the boat
 But what about Baby Doe, some say that nigga's selling dope
 And you know that I ain't lyin', that just how family talk
 But what you gonna do when the Devil poke you with his fork
 And everybody sittin' in the pulpit ain't saved
 Most preachers are false prophets
 Fuckin' hoes and gettin' paid, I'm lookin' for the
 Hi life, we livin' that hi life
 Hi life, we livin' that hi life, mmm
 (Hi life, mmm)
 You only got one life to live
 That's all they give you to do it
 You could bullshit your way through it
 Or stay true, it can be complicated
 'Cause niggas be gettin' shot in the cross
 People and names get lost
 The people in the lane get tossed
 The streets'll eat your ass alive
 Take your positions with pistols, bare hands and knives
 And nobody's surprised if somebody
 Don't survive the dusk to see dawn
 It's treacherous how we was left to die
 On the streets that we be on
 Motherfuckers sleepin' on them corners that you pee on
 Probably 'cause society felt they didn't belong
 Now who in the fuck made it this way for us?
 Got all these little niggas slangin' that yay
 Because it ain't like they make high levels gain able
 And that punk piece of American pie just ain't obtainable
 So how can I substain a full life before death
 Man, I'm left out here to make it by my goddamn self
 Now c'mon, who gives a damn
 When you can't afford the turkey or ham
 Livin' off of Raemon Noodles, beef jerky, and Spam
 Now that's sad, but that's a fact of life
 All I can see in front of me is up for grabs
 Come off that slab
 'Cause poverty will push a nigga over that brink
 Over the edge especially if you don't know your ledge
 So instead of being without, I'm hustling
 Tryin' to get through these ungodly days
 Thinkin' of ways to get the fuck outta this maze
 A man will commit a crime 'cause a fuckin' crime pays
 I'm going through a phase you don't grow out
 Until there's a reason a mother fuckers gots to pour out
 His 40 on the curb, disturbed and left with no doubt in his mind
 But still sometimes he don't know why he walkin'
 Around just hopin', he can get one more try to make it
 It's bullshit he going through but yo, he gots to take it
 You can't fake it, to get that hi life
 Hi life, we livin' that hi life
 Hi life, we livin' that hi life, mmm
 (Hi life, mmm)
 Hi life, we livin' that hi life
 Hi life, we livin' that hi life, mmm
 (Hi life, mmm)
 Hi life, we livin' that hi life
 Hi life, we livin' that hi life, mmm
 (Hi life, mmm)
