I was broke, pocket full of lint now I'm on the bricks   Getting paid like no other dog now I'm stackin' chips   On the road like a trucker man had to take some trips   Doing shows for my brothers but strapped with extra clicks      Just in case any sucker would wanna run his lips   A female I don't trust her 'cause women like to trip   I stay all by my getty green hell with some time   There some crime that was petty seem still getting mine      All this hate trip I'm hearing, though you I ain't fearing   Better try to be growing old man with your children   Escalate what a nigga staring his last days nearing   Trying to get it right with God only one who I'm fearing      Hopin' I'ma make it, keep it real   Never knew I get the chances for a nigga to get paid   So I take it living like a player should   Wishin' that you could knowin' it's all to the good   Still down with the hood      This life we live   (Life as we see it)   See it's, oh, so beautiful, beautiful   (Oh it's so)   Oh, so beautiful   (Oh it's so beautiful)      Last year my cousin took a fall, a sad song   Seem like we were just on the phone now he gone   People use to try to judge him sayin' he was wrong   But you can't try to judge a man you do you wrong      Smokin' out on a daily base I'm in the clouds   Drinkin' liqour fallin' on my face   Wondering how I survive all this foolishness   Up in the street ridin' dirty I ain't new to this   I'm packin' heat but the streets very hazardous   To a niggaz health watch your step you ain't Lazarus      You'll meet your death   I'm the man from the North, North site of the town   With the will to support me and keep 'em found   Stayin' down got your gold grills dro in the air   Barbecue on the grill sun cool for a player   When I ride through the streets hoes are plentiful   'Cause the life that we live so beautiful      This life we live   (Life as we see it)   See it's, oh, so beautiful, beautiful   (Oh it's so)   Oh, so beautiful   (Oh it's so beautiful)      This life we live   (Life as we see it)   See it's, oh, so beautiful, beautiful   (Oh it's so)   Oh, so beautiful   (Oh it's so beautiful)      Gotta take the good with the bad   Smile with the sad, love what you got   And remember what you had messin' with the ones   Who help me in the times   When I was flat broke didn't even have a dime      My family they was there, my niggaz they was there   The rest of ya'll left me for dead didn't care   I use to have dreams livin' large in this thang   And by the grace of God I'm still alive in this thang      I strive in this game to get all that I can   Never said I'm the man, respect me as a man   To you ones think I owe you somethin'   Now that's a joke, think you bad come      And get you somethin', how low to dope   Either treal either fake, you can love you can hate   Either go and get your own or you can't sit and wait   On the next man to come up you can peep this   You can do what I do handle your business      This life we live   (Life as we see it)   See it's, oh, so beautiful, beautiful   (Oh it's so)   Oh, so beautiful   (Oh it's so beautiful)      This life we live   (Life as we see it)   See it's, oh, so beautiful, beautiful   (Oh it's so)   Oh, so beautiful   (Oh it's so beautiful)
