Young 1s Kool G Rap & 38 Spesh (Ft. Anthony Hamilton & Ché Noir)

[Intro: Anthony Hamilton]
You know how the game goes
But that's the life we livin'
Let the story begin

[Verse 1: 38 Spesh]
Yo, now mama's bills ain't paid and my family in the cold
And I just outgrew my hand-me-down clothes
Thirteen years old with a old soul
And a warm heart that was soon to grow cold
My whole goal was to make sure that the coke sold
And find fiends that smoked more than a broke stove
I was exposed to the pushers and pimps
No father figure so a nigga had to look up to them
Couple mistakes coulda brought me jail, but it taught me well
Copped my first thing a month later went and bought me twelve
It ain't about scars it ain't about life
I been behind bars and I made it out twice
I thought I made it, but I made a hard life
Moved somewhere real far, my neighbors all white
I guess I'm just a product of the game
Only real niggas relate to my pain
Livin' let's go

[Chorus: Anthony Hamilton]
You only live once so make the best of it
Playing your hand make the best of it
Comin' from the slums
Comin' from the slums some don't make it out of here
Do yo' thang
Do thangs, do thangs, do thangs
Gotta make it out right
