Live Like That

I ask you like Marvin what’s going on
It’s so cold like tech 9 or even chrome
So different from the place we used to call home
If you slip you get a hot one to your dome
It’s been so long since we got it good
With all the senseless killings in the neighborhood
We can’t take it back but I wish we could
Clean this shit up and pardon me for being rude
We knock on wood, knock on em doors
Nobody’s there to open, it’s always closed
Give me a break, I gotta take a pause
Why do we pose a threat when don’t break no laws?
That’s how it goes, we tired of getting mad
Tired of dreaming about the things that we never had
We had em dreams now where they at?
But we keep on grinding and we live like that
I want to live like that
And give it all I have
I want to live like that
I don’t want to go back
I want to live like that
And give it all I have
I want to live like that
The way I want to be
Is there a heaven for a G?
Like Pac say
G crip shit for the posse
In the city by the sea wit a bomb weed
Eastside west coaster with some palm trees
Lil homie loc is trying to get it back
Cortez ass slippin' in the dark alley
Just another day in the killa Cali
Sip a lil sauce for the reminisce
Real hustla to the game
I want to live like that
And give it all I have
I want to live like that
I don’t want to go back
I want to live like that
And give it all I have
I want to live like that
The way I want to be
Lemme tell ya sum’n, fools
I used to break them rules
And the enemy skulls
Used to crack like in a bad news
You never been in my shoes:
Sometimes you win
In many times — you lose
In the week-end — I’m sick in the head
Beats are fat, raps — not bad
Almost mentally dead
But I live like that
Towards the horizon
Feeling like I’m rising
And I’m ridin'
In a search, but I will find it
Fools on a hype
They forgot about the real type
Wasted days and nights
I fight my own fight against the grind
They strike, they might bite
And I don’t mind if you know nothing
'Cause I’m feeling alright
Real G’s never die — we multiplying
You better start running
We always into something
I want to live like that
And give it all I have
I want to live like that
I don’t want to go back
I want to live like that
And give it all I have
I want to live like that
The way I want to be
