Life Is What You Make It feat. DMX

歌詞

[Nas] Yo... Ill Will, Ruff Ryders What, what, sraight 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 Penitentiary, sending me letters I answer back That eventually, we all be 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, strapped, prepared for gunplay 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 Chorus: 4x Life is what you make it nigga, I'ma make it No matter what it takes my nigga, we gonna take it [DMX] Everyday shit, around the way shit got me stressed (what) So I keep on the vest in case a nigga wanna test (uh) I got no time for games cause I'm all grown up You wanna joke nigga? laugh when you get blown up (come on) See how funny it is when your kids ain't got no father Cause you played it sweet, now you floating in the harbor (for real) Shit is hectic, so respect it for your health (what) Didn't think it was right, you shoulda checked it yourself (come on) Life is too short to get caught up in some dumb shit Wake up one day, 40 years old on some bum shit Time flew by, you was too fly to see the light Everyday it's getting darker then comes the night Now what? (what) realize that you ain't got shit (uh) 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 (uh huh) Chorus [Nas] Make history before you go Fuck the misery of livin' po' we gettin dough Except the dollars other reasons why I'm living yo (why?) Time is valuable Low and behold the young, black, and powerful Got to eat yo, everyday my daughters feet grow You wack and cheap with the dough, my heat could blow Payin' doctors when I'm born, a preacher when 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 deminish 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 worst, no fears or 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 Chorus
