Текст песни: Nas - Life We Chose

 
[Nas] 
To my niggaz.. huh.. 
We all we got.. 
Let`s hold it down though, y`know? 
However it`s gon` go down 
This what we gotta deal with, y`know? 
Yo.. 
 
[Chorus: Nas] 
 
It`s the life we chose, where friends become foes 
and the dough`ll get you killed quicker than you know 
This is the life we chose, bring fake snakes and hoes 
and the only way out, is death or goin broke 
This the life we chose, ain`t too many happy endings 
That`s why there ain`t too many happy niggaz in it 
And I`ll admit it, this life is fucked up but yo.. 
(but yo..) this life is the only life I know [echoes] 
 
[Nas] 
Uhh, uhh, uhh 
Gold bathtubs, makin love to my Queen 
Get my back rubbed, Chardonnay, rollin up green 
Statues, marble floors, rare paintings on my wall 
My lifestyle`s like the Forbes Magazine 
Closets, full of rockets and submachines 
Take this nigga out the projects, and his thug team 
Yo we cruise past street lights, ill rides 
Mr. Child both coasts with the most loud toast 
Calicos roast y`all folks, keep y`all dyin 
Cause it`s hard to fuck around when we dealin with science 
My enemies got money, so y`all should watch how I play it 
They never know we enemies until they hear me say it 
Til they kid`s on the phone sayin, "Please daddy pay it" 
Til they brain`s on the floor, mixed on the pavement 
High-class elegance, you respect or you hiss 
You go against you`d rather piss on an electrical fence 
It`s strategic, how these niggaz want you to think 
You`d be surprised, who`d be the one to put you to sleep 
Why you stink? Yo these streets don`t allow you to blink 
You get showered by lead, comin out with your mink 
Bow ties and tuxedos, bust Eagles 
Dump drugs and acid, then they rush with the Rico 
It`s hard fuckin with niggaz you hope you can trust 
You a fool if your main bitch is easy to fuck 
And you`ve got money - is these hoes greedy or what? 
Shit is devious, ex-friends wantin you stuck 
 
[Chorus] 
 
[Nas] 
Uhh, what`s love when you don`t give your man enough dough? 
He wanna stick you 
What`s love, you got beef? 
Nobody rollin wit you 
What`s love, you locked up, and your family don`t care 
Is love a four-letter word, that deceives the air? 
What`s real, when you know your man`s girl is a hoe 
And you don`t even let him know, cause you fucked her befo` 
What`s real, when you talk behind a man`s back 
then you see him and give him dap, now explain that? 
What`s trust, when they seperate your case 
When you at your court date, your co-de`, can`t look in your face 
What`s trust, when you keep your wife away from your man? 
And he never crossed you, but you claimin he`s fam`? 
What`s trust, when you get bust, your niggaz don`t retaliate? 
They blaze purple haze with em the next day? 
God forbid one of my niggaz get hit, I`ma go haywire 
Won`t hesitate, I`ma spray fire 
But everybody`s different, you won`t know how you react 
til you in that position, and that`s an actual fact 
The hearts of men change as time goes on, who`s wrong? 
You was hungry when you stuck Duke, he came back to buck you 
Who`s wrong? Foul all your life, now you 90 
On your deathbed you regret bein grimy 
What`s lust, a bust nut? What`s a thug? 
A ghetto child raised around drugs, til he`s old enough to bust slugs? 
Then what`s jail, to rehabilitate, or to make a nigga worse 
when he come home to catch another case? 
Life`s about decisions, you choose it, you gotta live it 
You did it, heaven or hell or prison 
Who knows when your clock`ll stop tickin, get your weight up 
Save up before it`s over neighbor, I told ya 
You gettin older player, look at those who gave up 
 
[Chorus]
