Life We Chose(part 2) Lyrics - Nas

To my niggaz huh, we all we got 

Let's hold it down though, y'know? 

However it's gon' go down 

This what we gotta deal with y'know? Yo 

It's the life we chose, where friends become foes 

And the dough'll get you killed quicker than you know 

This is the life we chose, bring fake snakes and hoes 

And the only way out is death or goin' broke 

This the life we chose, ain't too many happy endings 

That's why there ain't too many happy niggaz in it 

And I'll admit it, this life is fucked up but yo, but yo 

This life is the only life I know 

Gold bathtubs, makin' love to my queen 

Get my back rubbed, Chardonnay, rollin' up green 

Statues, marble floors, rare paintings on my wall 

My lifestyle's like the Forbes Magazine

Songs You Love If You Love Nerds 

LATEST SONG: Fat Joe, Dre, Lil Wayne - 'Pullin' - LYRICS 

NEW SONG: Machine Gun Kelly - 'Candy' Lyrics feat. Trippie Redd 

Closets, full of rockets and submachines 

Take this nigga out the projects and his thug team 

Yo we cruise past street lights, ill rides 

Mr. Child both coasts with the most loud toast 

Calicos roast y'all folks, keep y'all dyin' 

'Cause it's hard to fuck around when we dealin' with science 

My enemies got money, so y'all should watch how I play it 

They never know we enemies until they hear me say it 

Till they kid's on the phone sayin', "Please, Daddy pay it" 

Till they brain's on the floor, mixed on the pavement 

High-class elegance, you respect or you hiss 

You go against you'd rather piss on an electrical fence 

It's strategic, how these niggaz want you to think 

You'd be surprised, who'd be the one to put you to sleep 

Why you stink? Yo, these streets don't allow you to blink 

You get showered by lead, comin' out with your mink 

Bow ties and tuxedos, bust Eagles 

Photos 

Dump drugs and acid, then they rush with the Rico 

It's hard fuckin' with niggaz you hope you can trust 

You a fool if your main bitch is easy to fuck 

And you've got money, is these hoes greedy or what? 

Shit is devious, ex-friends wantin' you stuck 

It's the life we chose, where friends become foes 

And the dough'll get you killed quicker than you know 

This is the life we chose, bring fake snakes and hoes 

And the only way out is death or goin' broke 

This the life we chose, ain't too many happy endings 

That's why there ain't too many happy niggaz in it 

And I'll admit it, this life is fucked up but yo 

This life is the only life I know 

Uhh, what's love when you don't give your man enough dough? 

He wanna stick you 

What's love, you got beef? Nobody rollin' wit you 

What's love, you locked up, and your family don't care 

Is love a four-letter word, that deceives the air? 

What's real, when you know your man's girl is a hoe 

And you don't even let him know, 'cause you fucked her befo' 

What's real, when you talk behind a man's back 

Then you see him and give him dap, now explain that? 

What's trust, when they separate your case 

When you at your court date, your co-de', can't look in your face 

What's trust, when you keep your wife away from your man? 

And he never crossed you but you claimin' he's fam'? 

What's trust, when you get bust, your niggaz don't retaliate? 

They blaze purple haze with 'em the next day? 

God forbid one of my niggaz get hit, I'ma go haywire 

Won't hesitate, I'ma spray fire 

But everybody's different, you won't know how you react 

Till you in that position, and that's an actual fact 

The hearts of men change as time goes on, who's wrong? 

You was hungry when you stuck Duke, he came back to buck you 

Who's wrong? Foul all your life, now you 90 

On your deathbed you regret bein' grimy 

What's lust, a bust nut? What's a thug? 

A ghetto child raised around drugs, till he's old enough to bust slugs? 

Then what's jail, to rehabilitate or to make a nigga worse 

When he come home to catch another case? 

Life's about decisions, you choose it, you gotta live it 

You did it, heaven or hell or prison 

Who knows when your clock'll stop tickin', get your weight up 

Save up before it's over neighbor, I told ya 

You gettin' older player, look at those who gave up 

It's the life we chose, where friends become foes 

And the dough'll get you killed quicker than you know 

This is the life we chose, bring fake snakes and hoes 

And the only way out is death or goin' broke 

This the life we chose, ain't too many happy endings 

That's why there ain't too many happy niggaz in it 

And I'll admit it, this life is fucked up but yo 

This life is the only life I know
