I done teached and talked, walked away and fought
Went from cussin` and bustin`, hustle from day to dark
Turned nothin` to somethin`, introduced to stunnin`
In my life, in my life I done caused some hurt

And I done did some good, said I can`t even when I could
I was stopped and tested fingerprinted and arrested
In my life, in my life, just say no when I really meant yes

I`m gon` smoke all night `til it hurt my chest
Slim told me over the years that s**t gon` tear up careers
In yo life, in yo life, what`chu gon` do when snakes come to yo crew?

I`m a get on my knees and ask the Lord, please
Separate good from fake and the love and the hate
In my life, in my life

I mean f**k, I done had a rough life you know what I`m sayin`
B.G. lived that thug life, I done done it all in my life
I done done time, I done lived in group homes
I been on the third floor of hospitals

I mean it`s just been a struggle for me
But now I`m on top you know what I`m sayin` and it ain`t to turnin` back
And I take chances in whatever I do
`Cuz if I don`t take chances I don`t see the life after all

The night in the Rover when the ni**as came over
You went out like a soldier and I still can`t get over
What fake bitches done, done, got me clutchin` my gun

In this life, in this life I used to wonder why
All the good ni**as die, why some soldier gotta suffer
And mothers gotta cry, why my daddy gotta lie
`Cuz he don`t even try to be in my life, in my life

Take care of your crib where you lay down and live
Forget and forgive `cuz you done put it through some s**t
Had yo daughter and yo son been down since day one
In yo life, in yo life

What the f**k is wrong, you don`t understand this song?
Tell yo momma you love her before she dead and gone
Ni**a that don`t quit that`s some real ass s**t
In this life, in this life

Man, I mean me Juvenile drugs tore my family up
I`m from the projects, so you know I just realized
What it means to be successful
`Cuz I been through all kinds of s**t, man, bulls**t

And I live through Baby, Slim and the Lord to help me
And I came to them as a real ni**a
And I said, "Look dog, I`m tired of livin` like this, man"

I had pounds of coke, I had money to blow
I had a felony charge, I had to fight in the court
I had warrant reports, shot up cars before
In my life, my life, I got kids to feed

I got ni**as to watch, I need a hundred mil
I need to get off the block, wear soldier Rees
In the gamblin` spot, in my life, my life
I could cook it and cut it, I could bag it and move it
I could toat in the budget, got money to prove it
I done flood the public, hope Beatrice`ll do it

In my life, my life, now, my name is, Baby but the call me Bubba
Ain`t a bitch that I know that can say that I love her
Gettin` pussy from a boss bitch wearin` a rubber

In my life, my life, let me stunt and shine, let me bling and floss
Let me ride without the law always searchin` my car
I just wanna chill f**k bitches and play, in my life, my life

Hoes cry in my world, give me that Baby s**t
Goin` to the people knowin` that they made me and s**t
You just don`t know what I go through, in my life, my life
I got Bentleys and Jags got Prowlers and Vets
Got Benjamin`s, Hummers, Cadillacs and vests

Condos and houses Cardiers and Rovers, in my life, my life
I got cars and broads with money to make
I got that brown wall and that white gate
Got bitches and hoes love that platinum and gold, in my life, my life

Beautiful Baby what`s happenin`, this Lil` Turk you heard me
One of the original hot boys, I done did it all you heard me
From runnin` through cuts and hallways
Runnin` through projects bustin` heads

Yeah, that`s that lil` ni**a Turk, young and thuggin` you heard me
I know you gonna let me do what I do
Don`t hate me `cuz I`m beautiful, you heard me

We on top now, ni**a, no longer livin` that trife life, you heard me
Respect and a check we ain`t doin` nothin` but poppin`
Bottles and f**kin` hoes
You heard me, makin` money that`s all ni**a uh, huh
