《That’s How I’M Livin’》歌词

[00:00:01] That's How I'm Livin' (Edit) - Ice T

[00:00:09] I was born in new jersey I said it before

[00:00:12] But I guess nobody heard me

[00:00:14] My mother died young

[00:00:16] No sistas or brothas I was the only son

[00:00:19] When I was twelve my pops died too

[00:00:21] What a brotha was supposed to do

[00:00:23] They sent me out West

[00:00:25] To live with my aunt

[00:00:27] I guess they though it was the best

[00:00:29] But there was no love there

[00:00:30] Growin' with no moms

[00:00:31] I guess I was prepared to live in a vacuum

[00:00:35] The bedroom the kitchen the hall and the bathroom

[00:00:37] I didn't leave home much didn't like L A

[00:00:41] Didn't have no friends to trust

[00:00:42] Got busted to a school

[00:00:44] Blacks and whites I guess the shit was cool

[00:00:47] But in highschool I changed

[00:00:48] Didn't wanna bust didn't wanna play the game

[00:00:51] I walked to Crenshaw high shit was fly

[00:00:56] I hooked up with new cru

[00:00:58] Some brothas that knew what the f**k to do

[00:01:01] You might call it gang but we called it a set

[00:01:04] And it was our own thang

[00:01:06] The whole school was down

[00:01:07] And one way or another everybody f**ked around

[00:01:10] When the hardcore or not

[00:01:11] You wore the right color or your ass got shot

[00:01:15] That's how I'm livin'

[00:01:19] That's how I'm livin'

[00:01:24] I did three years in and made close friends

[00:01:27] Havin' no love my homies came my only

[00:01:31] I was glad: a family I never had

[00:01:33] But I grew up fast got a girl on 10th grade pregnant

[00:01:37] Needin' cash I had to change my style

[00:01:39] Switched from bangin' to hustlin'

[00:01:41] No more goin' buckwild

[00:01:43] Had to get a cashflow

[00:01:44] But my hustle was weak it was a no go

[00:01:47] I join the army four years in that shit

[00:01:50] Be all f**ked you can be

[00:01:52] Came back to the hood

[00:01:53] My homies had done good

[00:01:56] Had elevated their game

[00:01:58] About 100 gees a lick no mothaf**kin' shame

[00:02:01] Passed for the jewels

[00:02:03] Baby sledgehammers with the tools

[00:02:06] I speak on this with a hesitation

[00:02:07] Even though it passed the statue of limitation

[00:02:15] That's how I'm livin'

[00:02:19] That's how I'm livin'

[00:02:24] That's how I'm livin'

[00:02:29] I checked the bank

[00:02:31] Bought a porsche and gear earn high streetrank

[00:02:32] But as I grew my whole crew fell thru

[00:02:38] Cops had us on the books as innerstate crooks

[00:02:42] Murder robbery rape escape the whole damn nine

[00:02:46] You robbed a nigga blind

[00:02:47] I had too much juice I cut my boosters loose

[00:02:52] I was intread with the pimpgame

[00:02:55] Took on the ice-name

[00:02:57] But the pimpgame moved too slow

[00:02:58] Especially for a nigga who was hooked on quick dough

[00:03:02] In one nite late I was in a carwreck

[00:03:04] And I was lucky to escape

[00:03:06] Hospital for teen weeks in bed almost dead

[00:03:11] And when I got well I got caught in a cross

[00:03:13] And got locked in a jailcell

[00:03:15] That's how I'm livin'

[00:03:20] That's how I'm livin'

[00:03:25] They cut me loose

[00:03:27] And I had to change troops

[00:03:29] This time they didn't catch me

[00:03:32] Next time they'll strecth me

[00:03:34] Cause my time was gettin' short

[00:03:36] All my homies was in court

[00:03:39] Or locked in a hole this shit was gettin' old

[00:03:43] So I changed my life

[00:03:45] Putted down the gun and picked up the mic

[00:03:48] It took ten years to get from there to here

[00:03:52] But I still keep a gun cops got me on the run

[00:03:57] And they hate me more now

[00:04:00] Than they ever did before

[00:04:02] My homies came back from pen

[00:04:03] And we all worked together

[00:04:05] True friends but every once and while

[00:04:08] Some punk mistakes me as a junk

[00:04:11] And he gets in my face

[00:04:14] Wrong mothaf**kin' place

[00:04:16] And I ain't lyin' that's how you dyin'
