Life Songtext
von Mob Figaz

My last words to the judge nigga
I told him "FUCK YOU!"
It′s for the thugs

And all I heard was, only nigga strapped was you
And if you didn't blast first then you would all die too
All my dope, all my guns, my cars, everything
Go to waste cause you′re too shook to face sixteen
Months and get your mind right, your system clean one time
What the fuck you mean I gotta do life?
I got a mother and a grandmother

Two sisters and a brother, for them I smother
I'm from the mob too where we all watch out for each other
I was just starting to make it up outta the gutter
They got me shackled up in a cage in a courtroom
Regurgitate a paperclip real calm so no one won't trip
Quietly cough, loosen my cuffs just a little bit
That way they slip right off
Look at the guards, they only two deep
I got my two white partners in the front row seats


Lookin′ like detectives but they really my protection
To get me out the courtroom and clear the intersection

My last words to the judge, I told him "Fuck you!"
What the fuck you mean I gotta do life, life, life?
Now look into my eyes and tell me what you see
Can you feel my pain? Am I your enemy?
Look into my house, would you live in there?
Now stare into my eyes and tell me that you care
What you mean I gotta do life?
What the fuck you mean I gotta do life, life, life?
What you mean I gotta do life?
What the fuck you mean I gotta do life, life, life?

And they ask me, "FedEx, where would you rather be?


Should you take a deal for ten or do fifty?"
It′s like a choice that we all got when living this life
Between a rock and a hard spot, living it trife
Ever since a teenager, I've been doing a bid
A juvenile criminal, they used to call me the kid
I was taught to stuff soap in socks, tie knots at the top
And storm the dorm if the shit got hot
I was only thirteen when I first stepped to
Yosemite block cells, where they all wear blue
And every time the doors opened, I was beating some fool

I came up like an animal, happened to make it through
The judge told my mother I′d be back real soon
And before the year was up I got snatched for a tool

Cuffed for the beef, snatched for the white

They say it's deep and I′m never gonna see the light

Now look into my eyes and tell me what you see
Can you feel my pain? Am I your enemy?
Look into my house, would you live in there?
Now stare into my eyes and tell me that you care
What you mean I gotta do life?
What the fuck you mean I gotta do life, life, life?
What you mean I gotta do life?
What the fuck you mean I gotta do life, life, life?

I never thought it'd come to this, I wish I bust my gun and missed
Should′ve turned left instead of right and got over the fence
Should've stayed home that night, knew that something wasn't right
I had that gut feeling, Caddy truck, fo′ wheelin′
A fo' fifth I ain′t bust yet, but with my life I trust it
Dippin' through, tryin′ to find some trees for my dutches
Fuck this, niggas got slam rock, we don't smoke bound not

Heard they got power on the block where your man was shot
Pulled up and bounced out, niggas stick fo′ fifth danglin'
But I ain't tryin′ to start shit, niggas holla "what up?"

Reply "some mo′ killin', who got weed around here?"
They pointed to the little building in the far left corner
Was almost a goner, soon as I turned
My back bullets passed by my dome-a
Return fire bitch nigga, Stef′s comin' for ya
One ripped through my shoulder, I fell down, it′s over
Now I'm in the state pen somewhere in California
Probably coulda beat a case, but I couldn′t afford a lawyer
A public pretender, a singer
I used to be a killer, now my name they don't remember

So look into my eyes

Now look into my eyes and tell me what you see
Can you feel my pain? Am I your enemy?
Look into my house, would you live in there?
Now stare into my eyes and tell me that you care
What you mean I gotta do life?
What the fuck you mean I gotta do life, life, life?
What you mean I gotta do life?
What the fuck you mean I gotta do life, life, life?
