Life's a Bitch Lyrics

Bitch, life's a bitch
Life's a bitch and then you die
Life's a bitch and then you die
Life's a bitch and then you die
Life's a bitch and then you dieIt's not often young niggas get a chance
To enjoy riches in legitimate fashion
So many of us say fuck it get a bucket
And run up in something and keep smashingIt's all about survival but jealous rivals
Make it hard for us to do this
So everybody got a gun but when we was younger
Our only weapon was our two fistsNow who missed the first lesson in life don't be no punk
If you a man have heart be a savage whether you sober or drunk
I seen niggas in the pen getting
Their ass dug out over some hop or a pack of CamelsBut thats the game home boy and every move you make is a gamble
Them squares don't under stand so it takes niggas like me to explain
I show vengeance violence and hatred
Because underneath it's so much pain
I ain't no sissy or punk so don't trip when you see me cryin'A nigga just hella mad his partners is dead and his folks keep on dying

My enemies feel the same way they want me dead
They think I'm the nigga that put they partner 6 feet under
And left his son with no father figureI live day by day not giving a fuck
And when they ask me why
I pause for a minute then I reply
Because life's a bitch and then you dieBitch, life's a bitch
Life's a bitch and then you die
Life's a bitch and then you die
Life's a bitch and then you die
Life's a bitch and then you dieLife's a bitch then you die
Nigga don't want a whole slice just let me taste the pie
They sent me to the pen for five years
For a crime that was never committedI ain't no bank robber but that five years
Had me thinking maybe I should have did it
Do my thoughts deceive me? What a mutherfucker supposed to think
Locked down, trapped looking at four walls a toilet bowl and a sinkAin't that a bitch I've been struggling ever since I could remember
But I stay strong year round from January all the way to December
See I am a hustler I need cash bad as a fat bitch need jogging
So I specialize in three things and thats pimping, hogging and doggingHalf these suckers walking around here fake as three dollar bills
If you with that bullshit don't come around me
I do this for reals not for thrills
I got to watch my back for them suckers thats out to do harmGot a tattoo of a list full a partners
Thats dead that run all the way down my arm
So If you see me mugging tripping and bugging
Don't stop and ask me why
A nigga just hella mad because life's a bitch and then you dieBitch, life's a bitch
Life's a bitch and then you die
Life's a bitch and then you die
Life's a bitch and then you die
Life's a bitch and then you dieI got a crew full of the realest thats deep as the Pittsburgh Steelers
Retired bank robbers, ex-dope dealers and adversary killers
Our mission is simple get rich and stay real nigga
So our kids can live fat, better then we did when we was little niggasLife is short you only live once and ain't no telling when your leaving
So I'm going to do it all have a ball while I'm still living and breathing
See I am a philosopher and my philosophy is this
Don't be no punk young homey, if it's worth it take that riskAnything's possible but nothings for sure
Got to take advantage of all opportunities and get your money you know
Love those who love you but don't never let it fuck up your vision
How much love did your loved ones have
When you was broke or doing time in prisonStay on your toes don't fuck with hoes before you read them
Watch your back for them rats that set niggas up to keep they freedom
It takes 365 days for the earth to spin one time
But it only takes one minute
For that guilty verdict when that snitch drops that dimeA damn shame I thought rat heads get nothing but cheddar
But I got partners doing all day with 35 next to that letter
So I'm in trouble unless I bubble so I struggle to keep my peace
Staying money motivated with thoughts of Mike Robinson and D.J. CeeBitch, life's a bitch
Life's a bitch and then you die
Life's a bitch and then you die
Life's a bitch and then you die
Life's a bitch and then you die

Enjoy the lyrics !!!

Mac Dre

Andre Hicks (July 5, 1970 - November 1, 2004), better known by his stage name, Mac Dre, was a Bay Area based gangsta rapper from the Crest side of Vallejo, California and considered one of the predecessors of the hyphy movement. During his career in the rap world, he worked with artists like Andre Nickatina, Yukmouth, Snoop Dogg, Mac Mall, Dubee and Keak Da Sneak.

Career

Mac Dre's music gained popularity in the early to mid 1990s throughout the Bay Area, eventually receiving national recognition through his independent record labels Romp and Thizz Entertainment. He released many hit singles, such as "Too Hard for the Radio", and most recently "Feelin' Myself". He was the creator of the "Thizzle Dance", a popular dance which holds no specific standard. Hardship and controversy were staples of Mac Dre's career. After recording his first three albums between 1989 and 1991, Mac was charged with conspiracy to commit bank robbery. His record label, Romp Productions, and his many references to "Romper Room" in his songs, coincided with a Vallejo robbery gang of the time calling themselves the "Romper Room Gang" and responsible for the robberies of many area banks and pizza parlours. Hicks was alleged to be a member of the gang. The rapper was sentenced to five years in prison in 1992.

In prison, Hicks gained some notoriety by recording the lyrics to songs directly over the Fresno County jail inmate telephone. His album, Young Black Brotha, was a result of such efforts, as well as guest appearances on fellow artists' songs, all while Hicks was still imprisoned. A later album, Back 'N Da Hood, was also made up of these prison-recorded songs.

After his release from prison in 1996, Mac Dre began releasing albums steadily, building pace in the early 21st century. Mac Dre's audience was growing, and mainstream hip-hop stations were beginning to give Hicks' music more airtime. Hicks relocated to Sacramento, California in 2001, where he began a label, Thizz Entertainment.

Death

On November 1, 2004, Mac Dre was shot to death while returning to his hotel after a performance in Kansas city. A car pulled up next to the white van carrying Dre along with other Thizz artists. Whether words where exchanged or not, the ordeal ended in the bloodshed of a bay area rap legend. The van swerved off the road and into a ravine where it ran into a tree. Word is that Dre was thrown from the van, but officials say they found him in the front seat, dead on arrival. Some believe that Mac Dre's killer was Kansas City rapper Anthony "Fat Tone" Watkins. In 2005 Watkins was murdered, allegedly by Bay Area rapper Mac Minister. In March 2006, Mac Minister was arrested by FBI officials.
