Lyrics
CHORUS X 3
1/2 My Lyfe...
I've dealt witta authority figures.
Them playa hating ass niccaz. Banged with them gangsta and killas.
Even though it ain't right...
I kept on pulling them triggas. Got fronted pounds, by drug dealers.
Grew up on the North side of Vegas.
1/2 My Lyfe...
VERSE 1
It started when I was 11. Incarceration, rehabilitation.
Gang banging for recognition.
Set tripping up on a mission.
I'm always in a situation.
That turns into complication.
From juvi to county, Like Spring Mountain, to Elko.
Always in trouble witta P.O.
1/2 My Lyfe as a criminal.
Wasn't shit you can say or do.
I just was a fool.
I did just what I wanted too.
Fucc going to school.
Smoking on weed, drinking old E.
Disrespecting my enemy.
Growing up in L.V.
North side with my family.
I started banging in'88.
Started slanging in'91.
If your paccin, I won't hesitate.
To pull out and dump.
Even though I know that it's wrong.
I'm not gonna get shot at for fun.
It's kill or be killed witta gun.
50/50 split, either one.
I made it a habit to pacc a pistol, which made it official.
That I was doomed as a criminal, for the Poe Poe to hassle.
CHORUS X 2
1/2 My Lyfe...
I've dealt witta authority figures.
Them playa hating ass niccaz. Banged with them gangsta and killas.
Even though it ain't right...
I kept on pulling them triggas. Got fronted pounds, by drug dealers.
Grew up on the North side of Vegas.
1/2 My Lyfe...
VERSE 2
I've hung wit, gang bangers.
Drug dealers and killas.
Growing up living in Vegas.
Behind the lights.
It's dangerous.
On the North side.
When I puff and get high.
I wonder why?
1/2 My Lyfe.
Living to survive.
Knowing we die.
Cuzz my mother.
Told me to be a leader.
Never a follower.
So why you out there.
Trying to become a killa.
Like a predator.
It's like a game for you to try to maintain.
With all the slang.
Like when I started to bang and my friends.
Went to different gangs.
I knew them before.
I started to roll and acting dumb.
But there family and folks.
Took all control and split us up.
That's how I grew up.
Either I was banging or locced up.
1/2 My Lyfe.
Living to survive.
I had enough.
Now it's time.
For me to get mine and live my Lyfe.
I did all my crimes.
Never dropped a dime.
To keep it right.
It's the way that I am.
As if murder made me a man.
It's part of a master plan.
Letting you understand.
That...

Even though it ain't right...

1/2 My Lyfe...
VERSE 3
I've seen the sun rise and set.
From going out at night.
In the day time I slept.
I made it just like an everyday thing.
A route.
Drinking on old E and smoking on lime green.
Cuzz working a real job.
Was hard for me to do.
I would rather work for the mob.
And get paid for killing fools.
But I know it's just a fantasy.
I'm living Lyfe in reality.
Hoping for my soul to live for eternity.
Even though I know.
That I'm full of sin.
With everyday living.
You gotta keep on praying.
Until the end.
Cuzz one day it's gonna happen there's nothing that you can do.
1/2 My Lyfe.
Living to survive.
It's not cool.
Watching my bacc.
For an attacc.
That's bull shit.
Cuzz their first react.
Is pull out a strap.
And dump quicc.
But they better hope that I die.
If they don't then I'ma ride.
All alone.
Just me and my chrome.
Nowhere to hide.
Cuzz...
