Live That Life Lyrics


I always found a way to get itIf you a real nigga, live that life, like
You the reason why these streets get to see that white
You the reason why these niggas get to see that price
Move ki's like they O-Z's and re-up (Right)The stand-up type, never to fold under pressure
You don't talk much, it ain't a whole lot can stress ya
You want it all, won't settle for nothing lesser
They come in wrong, they leaving out on a stretcher
Born killin', you ain't trippin' on dying
Took out a bunch of muthafuckas out here slippin' that tried
If it was money to be made, it's got
They saying all money ain't good—nah, it's not
So, with that in mind, you envisioned a change
To get your ass up off of these streets and out the game
Witnessing niggas getting popped get out
Knowing goddamn well them punks supposed to rot
If you a real nigga, live that life, like
You the reason why these streets get to see that white
You the reason why these niggas get to see that price

Move ki's like they O-Z's a G (That's right)Hard times hit and shit gets slow
You're like a dope fiend geeking, trying to get that dough
You face a lifetime if you get court
Niggas in this position shouldn't fuck with dope (Nope)
Say it again like I said before
All money ain't good and he the feds for sure
If he can get it when it ain't none
We in the middle of a drought, charging 700 for an ounce
Back and forth out of town, trying to make it jump
Take a nigga block and pump
Come back on the block and dump
Headlines read: "Body found dead, shot, locked in trunk"
A message to them cocaine cowboys
Get it while it's good, but when it's got, get up out, boy
Regardless if the block is hot
Them streets talk; when them niggas start to talk, they plot
If you a real nigga, live that life, like
You the reason why these streets get to see that white
You the reason why these niggas get to see that price
Move ki's like they O-Z's a G (That's right)Money and greed breed hate and jealousy
One nigga rich, the next nigga want it times three
And when he get it, he gon' go to extremes
To make for sure that ain't nobody living larger than he
And for a minute, they was targeting me
But realized that I was legal, I'm just part of these streets
A real nigga 'til they close the top
All I know is counting money, fucking hoes in drop
Two-seaters, not a tabloid reader
But I know this dope game is like the rap game
See us on a mash out mission, stop bullshittin'
Tired of strugglin', niggas got they masks on missionin'
Them boys looking at the Border Patrol
'Cause they the reason ain't nobody out here got no dope
For sure, homie, when you touch and move on
Got the hood down wit'cha so you can't go wrongIf you a real nigga, live that life, like
You the reason why these streets get to see that white
You the reason why these niggas get to see that price
Move ki's like they O-Z's a G (That's right)
If you a real nigga, live that life, like
You the reason why these streets get to see that white
You the reason why these niggas get to see that price
Move ki's like they O-Z's a G (That's right)

Scarface (born Brad Jordan, November 9, 1970) is a rapper from the South Acres neighborhood in Houston, Texas, originally known for his work as a member of the Geto Boys. He has been a solo artist since 1991, becoming one of the most popular southern rappers in the business although maintaining ties to the Geto Boys. He is known for his sometimes unique and exaggerated voice and rapping technique.

Recording as Akshen, he began his career recording solo for Rap-A-Lot Records, a local label in Houston, Texas. In the late 1980s, he joined the Geto Boys as they were forming and released We Can't Be Stopped, a highly successful LP that garnered the Geto Boys a large fanbase, in spite of their ultra-violent lyrics keeping them far from radio and MTV. Akshen changed his name to Scarface (he even changed his flow from a rapid-fire Kool G Rap-like delivery to normal flow, this time with a darker tone), after the film Scarface, saying he felt that the main character of the movie was just like him in many ways. Scarface soon released his debut solo album, Mr. Scarface Is Back. The album was a success, and Scarface's popularity soon overshadowed the other Geto Boys.

Scarface left the group and released a series of solo albums that kept him in the public view in spite of decreasing sales. He turned this around with 2000's Last of a Dying Breed, which received overwhelmingly positive reviews and sales, and earned him Lyricist of the Year at the Source Awards. In 2002 he released The Fix, the critically acclaimed follow up to Last of a Dying Breed. In 2007 he released Made which overall recieved very positive reviews.
