Lyrics:
(INTRO / VERSE)
The barz slam shut / Take a look at your life now
Family crying at the trial when you strike out
Got a long stretch / A long bus ride
You’re a gangster for life / Yeah / A real tough guy
When you cry in your cell / Tear drop tattooz
Scared as a motherfucker but you’re playing it cool
Everybody playz the fool / Homeboy, thatz life
C.O. all up in your azz with a finger and a flashlight
You wanna fuck snatch but settle for azz
Jackin' off to fuck bookz / Trying to make the time pass
Iz that the path you want your blood to follow???
Never really knowing if you’re gonna see tomorow
Looking over both shoulderz / You’re in a bad mood
Now you’re hungry as fuck but therez hairz in your food
Get a letter from your brother trying to be like you
And not once did you tell the homie ‘Stay in school'
Misery lovez company / While you’re sittin' / Reminiscing
You wonder why the homiez ain’t coming by to visit
But, really / They don’t give a shit / Life goes on
And now you’re wishing that you’re free / Knowing right from wrong
Sending wilaz to the homiez but they don’t write back
Said you’re ‘homeboyz for life' but itz not like that
Doing burpiez in the cold / Trying to break a little sweat
While your hynaz at home with your homie up in your bed
You can’t eat, sleep, shit or piss alone
Before you know it / Time passed / Now your kidz are grown
They got kidz of their own you never even met
From a young knucklehead / To a locked down vet
New tat on your chest and it repz ‘Brown Pride'
On a mission for respect but now you see the downside
Wanted to prove that you’re down / But what did it prove
When your hood givez your name to a new recruit???
Now…
Thatz life / Homie / And you lived it too fast
Now you wish you hit the brakez as the dayz start to pass
Thatz life / Everybody turnz the cold shoulderz
Thatz life / Lightz out / Now itz over!!!
(OUTRO)
Thatz life / Homeboy, thatz life
Thatz life / Homeboy, thatz life
Thatz life / Homeboy, that’s life
Thatz life / Lightz out / Now itz over!!!
