In This Life I Lead Songtext
von 2Pac

This m- life I lead, s-
A hell of m- road blocks and crooked cops
We still ride though
What side?
Westside


I want money in large amounts, my garage full of cars that bounce
Moving my tapes in major ways ′cause every dollar counts
B-s is jealous and half these n-s is punks
They running off at the mouth 'till I fill up with my p-
They jump my a- keep them weary
While you fronting like you Billy b-a-, n- you scary
I been knowing you for years, we was high school peers in Junior High
I was itchin′ to k- and you was ready to die
While you b- n-s was dying and catching cases
B- my a- at m-s in foreign places
Leaving no trace, they see my face and then they buried
Them b- die in a hurry, still I ride, I'm never worried
Mr. Makaveli tell me to ride and I'mma ride
Pick my enemies out the crowd and m-s die
It′s not the way I wanna live, my n-, it′s how it is
Homie got into a fight last night, they k- his kids

In this life I lead
Fiend for currency, get h- o- w-
Collect G's, make my enemies b-
When you see me n-, holler my set and watch ′em ride
Outlaw m-s 'till we die
In this life I lead
Fiend for currency, get h- o- w-
Collect G′s, make my enemies b-, uh
When you see me n-, holler my set and watch 'em ride
Outlaw m-s ′till we die
In this life I lead


I ain't a k- but don't push me dog
For that family, I′ll send that a-
Straight to God (What you doing n-?)
And in this life I lead I′ve seen the most of my 23 years
My v- is blurry, the money is clear
Some of my peers eternally will sleep in a coffin (yeah, n-)
And n- on the road I'm extremely cautious
(Westside, man, you know how we do it)
It happened that fast s- second your gone
At the top of my tombstone put noble is raw
Outlaw ′till I'm under the floor for Kadafi the prince
I stack dough like a c- o- t- b-
With a watch on my wrist, dawg, I know the time these days
We Outlaws we gonna die this way
We already in the history books, ′Pac made sure of that
Whatever you took we taking it back
You know it's all for the foundation Outlaws
We still building the thug nation holler at your homie

In this life I lead
Fiend for currency, get h- o- w-
Collect G′s, make my enemies b-
When you see me n-, holler my set and watch 'em ride
Outlaw m-s 'till we die
In this life I lead
Fiend for currency, get h- o- w-
Collect G′s, make my enemies b-
When you see me n-, holler my set and watch ′em ride
Outlaw m-s 'till we die
In this life I lead

It ain′t but nothing but air between us oxygen is gettin hot
Got a problem mo' f--a-n- kick rocks
Now Bin Laden on the phone and the n- talking crazy
I don′t know who to blame him or Bush for k- babies
I'm a New Jers′ Devil the street created rebel
Only got one s- to produce on every level
This is Maximus, go to the max I must
N-, I came from not much so money I c-
Uh uh, Napolean the strength of strong arm
With a d- they whistle and ride I put a move up on
I'm a hardcore product of the ghetto
Been blessed for sure to eat from out the ghetto
I maneuver in the right lane quick to push back lanes
Switch it to the left lane, I play with my hands
And I'm plotting on the fortune, it′s getting hot and scorching
I′m thinking like a scorpion that torturing an enemy

In this life I lead
I fiend for currency, get h- o- w-
Collect G's, make my enemies b-
When you see me n-, holler my set and watch ′em ride
Outlaw m-s 'till we die
In this life I lead
Fiend for currency, get h- o- w-
Collect G′s, make my enemies b-
When you see me n-, holler my set and watch 'em ride
Outlaw m-s ′till we die
In this life I lead

Now with this Outlaw lifestyle that I've been introduced to
Money and h-s keep us closer to Lucifer (What's up, Kurupt?)
Steady seducing us and I′m all for it
This′ the life for me and the law can't spoil it (right)
So you can call it what the f- you want
But I′m a baller a- with a s--off p- (n-)
My mamma ain't raise no punk and even dead ′Pac
So when I jump off I breathe for Y-
Been puttin in work so I walk with a bop
And it safe at home so I sleep with a g- (no mistakes)
Thug living, ugh, what the f- would be better
I do my dirt with the family so we dying together

We on a mission for mo' gangster s- on you h-s
We ain′t f- with you lawyers crossing n-s up out there dough
Trying to live Godzilla Edi went from a bad boy
To a anybody k-, look out
Wanted, man, g-s in hand stand firm
Nuts are my pride now lets burn
Bound and profound going down swinging
Holding my ground, now we the last ones breathing
No stopping till we eating deep in the trenches
So many k-s, it's s-
So in this life I lead I stay protected
My god my squad and this thing in my palm
Now all my h- m-s get your money, sing along
