Come on, come on
Yeah
Feel good don't it?
This is for warm days that drift away
While the sun sets and the ghettos play
Long nights on a hot summer's block
When you sip yo brew and never touch yo glock
This is for eyes
That cry like yours and learn to smile again
Rise above the pain
This is for you and your crew
The ones that's true will always love you
No matter what you do

'Cause it's the life,
the life, the life
The life, the life
It's the life, the life
The life, life
It's the life, the life
The life, yo life, yo life
It's the life
Your life, my life

This is for soldiers who bust they guns
(Bust, bust)
In the name of freedom not the game of fun
True queens Who raise they kids
Implement the knowledge,
Show 'em how to live
This is for those who stand in line to feed their babies
While we're runnin' outta time
This is for the injustice behind bars
Our lovers, our leaders, our people

'Cause it's the life,
the life, the life
The life, the life
It's the life, the life
The life, life
It's the life, the life
The life, yo life, yo life
It's the life
Your life, my life

Don't let 'em mis-misguide you
They'll have you actin' like the sun don't shine
And the sky ain't never blue
But you know and I know it's all about survival
This struggle of our people is like that unrivalled
Fuck politicans they was never in control
(Never)
It's deeper then that, a true battle for the soul
(Watch out)
What they want is to bring us to our knees
So my people guard yo life by any means

This is for those who know we all gon' die
It was set up that way by a infinite power
Those that know, who feel the change
In the belly of the best and the mental strain
This is for those who have their own fallen angels
Tryin' to find a way on
This is for everybody
(Everybody)
And anybody, it's yo life

'Cause it's the life,
the life, the life
The life, the life
It's the life, the life
The life, life
It's the life, the life
The life, yo life, yo life
It's the life
Your life, my life

Yo, you gotta keep smilin' no matter what
'Cause this is the life
What you gon' do 'bout that, huh?
Yo, A-Plus
