The Way We Live N.O.R.E. (Ft. Chico DeBarge)

[Intro: Noreaga]
Y'know what I mean? This for the woman, y'know what'm saying?
Coming up, just trying to get a nut
Y'all really understand what we doing, ya know?
Y'all understand that we hurting y'all, y'all come attatched
It's all good, this one for y'all, y'know what I mean?
Yo, ya know? It's crazy, we all together

[Verse 1: Noreaga]
I used to cut pies, in front of my girl, now I apologized
The reason why, (My fault) she seen the red in my eyes
When I was cuttin' it, feelin' like the archives
Choppin' it down, thinkin' I'm choosin' my rise
Never hit the street without my heat, what, told me not to
Said, "Paps, we know the Jake'll try to knock you"
You do your thing, boo, I'll still be there, don't mean to knock you
I know it's hard fuckin' with a thug nigga like me
Thinkin' would I get locked?
Come home tonight or not?
Black Princess, kiss you when I see you
White women suntan and try to be you
The melanin in your skin, make it all see-through
Sometimes he hurt y'all, not understanding what we doin'
Sweatin' at the foul line like Pat Ewing
Yo, from all the brothers, I dedicate to the mothers
My mother, grandmother of the Earth
If it wasn't for women, then it wouldn't be birth
What, it's all real
