Life Is What You Make It Nas (Ft. DMX)

[Intro: Nas]
Yo, Ill Will, Ruff Ryders
What what, straight like that

[Verse 1: Nas]
You a killer or a hustler, dealer or customer
Gangsta or buster, youngster or old nigga
A weed head, a coke sniffer
You rich or a broke nigga
Know you all relate to this shit that I wrote niggas
Lots of my mans trapped up in a max
Penitentiary, sending me letters I answer back
That eventually, we all be Bentley'ed out
Throwing campaigns, fuck it I'm running for White House
My niggas control Senate, pipe seats, Jeeps tinted
Mad Lewinsky chicks, some kinky shit
Did dirt now I knew it would come back one day
So I'm on point, strapped, prepare for gunplay
Stared at one face, thought it was beef he looked familiar
Ready to blast, nigga gave me daps said I feel ya
Can't believe how my life changed
From the hood, the first time in my life
I can say I did the right thing

[Chorus: Nas (DMX)]
Life is what you make it nigga, I'ma make it
No matter what it takes my nigga, we gon' take it (uh)
Life is what you make it nigga, I'ma make it
No matter what it takes my nigga, we gon' take it (uh-huh)
Life is what you make it nigga, I'ma make it
No matter what it takes my nigga, we gon' take it (uh)
Life is what you make it nigga, I'ma make it
No matter what it takes my nigga, we gon' take it (uh-huh)
