| [Napoleon] (talking) | |
| Outlawz... could never touch the kids in the ghetto man | |
| That's where I'm from..... man | |
| [Chorus] | |
| This is our life | |
| Even tho' the sun dont always shine | |
| It's still our life | |
| If you keep yo head up everything will be alright | |
| In living your life | |
| [Napoleon] | |
| I'm damn near 'bout to go in tears | |
| Writin' this verse here | |
| I feel like I'm cursed here | |
| I'm choked up since I lost my peers | |
| But I know one day we be back again | |
| One love to my Mexicans | |
| Tryin' to run across the border | |
| To see freedom all over again | |
| Man... One love to my Africans | |
| They try to kill us with AIDS | |
| But they smart again | |
| It's like I die once that I be born again | |
| With the grace of Allah | |
| Kept away my sins | |
| From the ghetto where they play with heavy metal to win | |
| Lost my parents so I moved with my next-of-kin | |
| Life.... just so mych pain to me | |
| To tell the truth I dont wanna die angrily | |
| Makaveli and Kadafi, them trained me | |
| I feel yall in the dark steady hatin' me | |
| [Chorus] | |
| This is our life | |
| Even tho' the sun dont always shine | |
| It's still our life | |
| If you keep yo head up everything will be alright | |
| In living your life | |
| [Edi] | |
| In '96 we was on top of the world | |
| Videos, movies, money, jewels and girls | |
| Rolls Royces, Hummers, Jagz and all that | |
| Hard to believe one night in Vegas changed all that | |
| Fast forward... 6 years | |
| Man, we still here | |
| Despite be hated on (huh) | |
| We still clear | |
| Until the end of time you cant stop destiny | |
| Back for everything they owe | |
| Now let's go | |
| [Young Noble] | |
| I got the spirit of a angel | |
| The heart of a soldier | |
| The mind of a militant | |
| Was blessed by my mother | |
| The inspiration of my life | |
| She 4 years clean | |
| With 15 years on the pipe | |
| And she just got married | |
| I felt pain... ya sayin' Pac smilin' at the wedding | |
| Never forget her mah' | |
| Yall baby fool, I promise to ya Imma stay a trooper | |
| Outlawz done die | |
| We forever move | |
| [Chorus] | |
| This is our life | |
| Even tho' the sun dont always shine | |
| It's still our life | |
| If you keep yo head up everything will be alright | |
| In living your life | |
| [Kastro] | |
| Oh... I'm on, pens and needles | |
| Needles and pens | |
| These 2 Tims was my Beemer | |
| Before I heard of a Benz | |
| I got lost tryin' to find my ends | |
| And got crossed tryin' to find me a friend | |
| That's life.... | |
| We sacrifice for better days | |
| We pray for a better way that never came | |
| Hey! (hey.. hey) | |
| What's more precious then a innocent child, smilin' | |
| ??? was foul, look at his smile | |
| School's not cool | |
| Them big body rules | |
| The workin' mans a fool | |
| If he cant afford the jewels | |
| Look at how life use ya | |
| Abuse and confuse ya | |
| Remember we was suppose to be the future? | |
| Now we grown | |
| The future is here and we gone | |
| Oh where did we go wrong | |
| Let's live... | |
| And do right by these kids my friend | |
| They the only shot we got at living life again | |
| C'mon | |
| [Chorus - repeat 2X] | |
| This is our life | |
| Even tho' the sun dont always shine | |
| It's still our life | |
| If you keep yo head up everything will be alright | |
| In living your life |
