Illegal Life Lyrics


Huh, no doubt, yea, yea
CNN
CNN once again
Capone-N-Noreaga, shit is live, live
Illegal life
Illegal life
Illegal life
Take over, son
Know wha saying, 41st sideWe hate the law so we break it
Loyal to this life there's no way to escape it
You either make it or you take it
If the game's in you, dedicated stay true
Illegal lifeWe hate the law so we break it
Loyal to this life there's no way to escape it
You either make it or you take it
If the game's in you, dedicated stay true
Illegal lifeYo, I was in Vermada, laid up with gold saga
Jungle room, cowboy hat around June

Monaga, had the 45th draga, Capone-N-Noreaga
The saga, sega, mega, network and bodega
Dream marvelous, scandalous, black mantis
Illegal life is like my aerolight
We be your light, hustle night to lifeDesert storm, and cold form on your norm
Run through, hard-boil you like John Woo
The law we hate, drop a cake cut like mix tape
Spoil coke plate, you buying fake weight
The next state, contemplate and score jake hesus
Conduce, claim bishop in juice, bloody up your goose
Now who screamed for truce, Lefrak is Iraq
Illegal life contract, keep 'em back, load up the big macsWe hate the law so we break it
Loyal to this life there's no way to escape it
You either make it or you take it
If the game's in you, dedicated stay true
Illegal lifeWe hate the law so we break it
Loyal to this life there's no way to escape it
You either make it or you take it
If the game's in you, dedicated stay true
Illegal lifeWe hate the law, escalated war with jake, raise the crime rate
Criminal minds regulate the tri-state
The legacy it never end, illegal life veteran salute
Get loot and stay true, corrupt jake make it happen
Snatch 'em catching O Z's, put the game on freezeDedicated hustling won't stop regardless
Whatever charges, getting the dough til' you go
Observation, direct sale, connects giving, reaching for ceiling
On the streets again, wild born, the enemy became your best friend
Meet the game closer, maped out many ways to get richAy yo, for real crime pays
9 6 the deal, we real about this cheddar, forever
Corner standing, in any weather, heat holding you down
Controlling your ground, stick-up kids come around
And taste the pound, CNN, put our soul on the line
For this life of crime, 2 5 forever shine
9 6 stay hungry, son, collect roughly
While the streets change, me and my man remain toughlyWe hate the law so we make it
(Break)
Loyal to this life there's no way to escape it
You either make it or you take it
If the game's in you, dedicated stay true
Illegal lifeWe hate the law so we make it
(Break)
Loyal to this life there's no way to escape it
You either make it or you take it
If the game's in you, dedicated stay true
Illegal lifeC A P O N E with me, pappy, Hav and Pee
Tradegy Khadafi, N O Y D, a man and me
On some mobb shh, spark up cigar shh
Cubans sit back jack, my niggas smoke dat
Generate, be the coke razor on a coke plateBack up the crime, son, and try to see a triple double
And get my loot back on a time table
Ay yo, it's CNN, you soon to see us on cable
At the round table, networked through the label
Illegal life, illegal life, illegal life
Illegal life, illegal life, illegal life

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
Capone-N-Noreaga (C-N-N for short) is a hip hop duo that consists of Capone (Kiam Holley) and N.O.R.E. (Victor Santiago). The two grew up in the housing projects of Queensbridge and Lefrak City (both in Queens, New York), and met each other in jail in 1992 while doing kitchen duty.

In 1996, they signed to "Penalty Records" in a deal with "25 to Life" records (Tragedy Khadafi's label). They were also featured as "Unsigned Hype" in The Source magazine. In 1997, C-N-N released their debut trend-setting album, The War Report. With exquisitely dark tracks crafted by Lord Finesse, Havoc (of Mobb Deep), Clark Kent, and a number of other acclaimed producers, The War Report became an instant classic. The unique chemistry of Noreaga's unorthodox lyrcal delivery combined with Capone's street-wise slang, established the duo as a household name within the Hardcore hip hop community.

After Capone returned from another stint in jail in 1999 the group then released The Reunion featuring the single "Ya'll Don't Wanna". The album struggled to go gold, due to the lack of promotion from Tommy Boy Records, and suffered from mixed reviews. In addition, Capone was sent back to prison right before the release further hurting promotion. Soon after in 2001, Capone-N-Noreaga jumped ship to powerhouse label Def Jam. Because Tommy Boy retained the trademarks to the names "Capone-N-Noreaga" and "Noreaga", the group was forced to shorten its name to C-N-N, and Noreaga was forced to bill himself as N.O.R.E. for his solo work. They recorded a new album in 2003 called The Religion, with a lead single, "Yes Sir", that was issued on mixtapes and promoted by a video. The single failed to make an impact, and the album was shelved.

In early 2005, Def Jam released Capone from his contract while retaining Noreaga, leaving the group's status in disarray. Capone released his debut album "Pain, Time, and Glory", in 2005.

In 2009 the duo reunited to release Channels 10 and has since then released The War Report: Report to War.
