[Chorus]
High life (High life)
We living✦ that high life
High life (High life, mmm)
We living✦ that high life, mmm
[Verse 2: Bun B]
You only✦ got one life to live, that's all they give us to do it
You can bullshit✦ your way through it
Or stay true, it can be complicated 'cause niggas✦ be gettin'✦ shot in the cross
People and names✦ get lost, the feeble and lame get tossed
Streets'll eat your ass alive✦
Take your possessions with pistols, bare hands and knives✦
And nobody's surprised if somebody don't survive the dusk to see dawn
It's treacherous how we was left here to just die on these streets that we be on
Motherfuckers sleeping on them corners that you pee on
Probably 'cause society felt they didn't belong
Now who in the fuck made it this way for us?
Got all these little niggas✦ selling that yay
Because it ain't like they make higher✦ levels gainable✦
And that quote piece of American pie just ain't attainable✦
So how can I sustain a full life before✦ death?
Man, I'm left out here to make it by my goddamn self
Now come on, who gives✦ a damn when you can't afford the turkey✦ or ham?
Living✦ off of ramen✦ noodles, beef jerky✦ and spam
Now that's sad, but that's a fact of life
All I can see in front of me is up for grabs, come off your slab
'Cause poverty'll push a nigga✦ over✦ the brink
Over✦ the edge especially if you don't know your ledge
And so instead of being without, I'm hustling
Trying to get through these ungodly days
Thinking of ways to get the fuck outta✦ this maze
A man'll commit a crime 'cause a fucking crime pays
I'm going through a phase you don't grow out
Until you a reason a motherfucker gots to po' out
His .40 on the curb, disturbed and left with no doubt in his mind
But still sometimes he don't know why
He walking around just hoping✦ he get one more try to make it
It's bullshit✦ he going through, but yo, he gots to take it
You can't fake it, to get the high life
[Chorus]
High life (High life)
We living✦ that high life
High life (High life)
We living✦ that high life, mmm (High life)
High life
We living✦ that high life
High life (High life)
We living✦ that high life
High life
We livin'✦ that high life (High life)
High life (High life, mmm)
We livin'✦ that high life
