In this motherfuckin' life I lead, shit
A hell of motherfucking 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
Movin' my tapes in major ways
‘cause every dollar counts
Busters is jealous and half
These niggas is punks
They runnin' off at the mouth 'til I
Fill it up with my pump
They jump, my automatic keep 'em wary
Why you frontin' like you
Billy Badass? Nigga, you scary
I've been knowin' you for years
We was high school peers, in junior high
I was itchin' to kill
And you was ready to die
While you bullshittin'
Niggas was dyin' and catchin' cases
Bustin' my automatics at motherfuckers
In foreign places leavin' no trace
They see my face and they buried
Them bitches die in a hurry, still I ride
I'm never worried
Mr makaveli tell me to ride, and I'ma ride
Pick my enemies out the crowd
And motherfuckers die
It's not the way I wanna live, my nigga
It's how it is homie got into a fight last
Night that killed his kids

In this life I lead, fiend for currency
Get high off weed
Collect G's, make my enemies bleed
When you see me, nigga, holla my set!
And watch 'em ride
Outlaw motherfuckers 'til we die
In this life I lead, fiend for currency
Get high off weed
Collect G's, make my enemies bleed
When you see me, nigga, holla my set!
And watch 'em ride, Outlaw motherfuckers
'Til we die, in this life I lead

I stopped to think
Rolling a Philly up full of dank
Pouring the remaining of my Remy
Martin down the sink back to get dressed
Grab my strap in case I'm tested
Chronic and Stress
Await the bitch to clean my mess
Wishing I was sober not fucked up
With a hangover the homie just released
So the whole hood came over
The west side bash
They're piecing on dime bags
Macking in the living room, shaking that ass
Talking fast to whores, we pros at what we do
It's on and popping once we get
This bitch full of brew
I knew some shit might crack so
We strapped and all thick
Swerving the niggas I see
Who ain't invited to this shit
Give a Fuck! the life I live
That's how it is
Fuck around you will be crying
Missing your kids
HUH! My destiny in this motherfucking game
Is either to get rich or die

In this life I lead, fiend for currency
Get high off weed
Collect G's, make my enemies bleed
When you see me, nigga, holla my set!
And watch 'em ride
Outlaw motherfuckers 'til we die
In this life I lead, fiend for currency
Get high off weed
Collect G's, make my enemies bleed
When you see me, nigga, holla my set!
And watch 'em ride, Outlaw motherfuckers
'Til we die, in this life I lead

When they see that nigga Daz
They say I'm dangerous
In this strange world believe who
Just don't give a fuck
I mean I stroke with the intentions
Cuttin' it up like I supposed to
My job is to protect and rob and serve you
Who hold the genius? - we done left
Death Row is breathin'
Heaters gotta get served til
None has left breathin' what I'm achieving
Smoking weed and fucking hoes
Ain't going nowhere, no man
Is going to strive, be on a stroll
I gotta make it happen everyday and all day
I gotta make my hustle and
Come back with big pay tear up the spot lay
Creating ruckus when I touch down
Who got my back when they
Put the attack down?
So I lay out cold, petrified, terrified
Barely alive
Come again when niggas start to ride
With the Outlawz and Pounders, blast
I'm clownin' on three
Nigga you're my motherfuckin' enemy

In this life I lead, fiend for currency
Get high off weed
Collect G's, make my enemies bleed
When you see me, nigga, holla my set!
And watch 'em ride
Outlaw motherfuckers 'til we die
In this life I lead, fiend for currency
Get high off weed
Collect G's, make my enemies bleed
When you see me, nigga, holla my set!
And watch 'em ride, Outlaw motherfuckers
'Til we die, in this life I lead

That's right! - that's right! Terrordome
Where it's on
From selling dope, coke, to crack
Young Gotti, entered the party from the back
Instant pay I gots to do it my way
Deserve to swerve on the highway
Cause the spot is sewn from Monday to Friday
Nigga try me, I like the Indica and Ty Weed
Defy me, Young Gotti
When I be high as the sky be
Verbal homicide, be ready to rupture
Making moves to touch ya
Disassembles your whole structure
I makes money
Cause that's all I know how to make
That's all I learned when I was young
No hesitation or mistakes i see a pot
Filled with nothing but rocks and knots
Midnight complexion, Glocks to shake spots
They see my people
So they already assume I live illegal
But they assume too soon
I got a treat for every bitch on the street
I role with beat, I got a problem
I got a fixation for heat

The life I live is treacherous
No one stands next this
But still motherfuckers be trying
To fetch this
Nutty nigga that brings heat to your set
Unloading two two threes until
Your ass breathes death
Nigga, East Side, Oakland, no joking
We kick up dust no remorse
So you and your boys can suck these Nuts
Extended clips left his nose sanded
I'm right handed but when it comes to the
Pistol bumping I'm both handed

In this life I lead, fiend for currency
Get high off weed
Collect G's, make my enemies bleed
When you see me, nigga, holla my set!
And watch 'em ride
Outlaw motherfuckers 'til we die
In this life I lead, fiend for currency
Get high off weed
Collect G's, make my enemies bleed
When you see me, nigga, holla my set!
