| [01:28.969] | Now the streets guessin' the beefin' started over some woman |
| [01:31.880] | Couldn't be the furthest thing from the truth |
| [01:33.611] | Was she looking for fame? yo I hope she got it |
| [01:36.260] | Since then I been the object, gossip people tried to target |
| [01:38.886] | All women should bid |
| [01:40.455] | For keeping real fathers away from their kids |
| [01:42.314] | These rappers talkin' real shxt I lived |
| [01:44.314] | How many been married, divorced, their ex lady wildin' |
| [01:46.987] | Hires a lawyer, judge awards 'em monthly eighty thousand |
| [01:49.942] | Stevie Wonder sent me word that he was in my corner |
| [01:52.468] | Blind but still sees the pain of a young performer |
| [01:55.342] | Used to be my rib thought it was 'til death do us |
| [01:57.813] | She married again and I'm wishin' all the best to her |
| [02:00.720] | Got me looking for my mother, all I see is suckers |
| [02:03.559] | She lookin' over me now sayin' don't trust 'em |
| [02:06.136] | Come on I'm livin', I don't need many to pray for me |
| [02:08.673] | Her bad, she wanna keep the kids away from their dad |
| [02:12.096] | Tell you lames something, spit some game |
| [02:14.183] | Planes carry me to Madrid, Spain, so why complain? |
| [02:17.048] | When you place blame, then you're defective |
| [02:19.625] | When you take blame, then you're respected |
| [02:22.164] | You gotta give me credit |
| [02:23.760] | Chorus- RaVaughn: Woah |
| [02:25.682] | Life is good, I must admit it |
| [02:29.061] | Woah |
| [02:31.032] | Ups and downs, we've all been through it |
| [02:34.447] | Woah |
| [02:36.468] | Ain't no other way to do it |
| [02:39.909] | Woah |
| [02:41.703] | Life is good, it's good, it's good |
| [02:43.226] | Verse 2: Nas |
| [02:44.256] | Uh, The craziest things just happened to me, get me |
| [02:46.215] | So now whatever happens next it probably won't affect me |
| [02:48.927] | How many people owe the feds, keep it real especially |
| [02:51.743] | If you an artist in this music game |
| [02:53.326] | The smartest ones get abused for their change |
| [02:55.189] | And my life is ***, super stardom, and stupid cash |
| [02:57.689] | So unpredictable not aware you could lose it fast |
| [03:00.446] | I signed my own checks, swore we paid the IRS |
| [03:03.104] | Somebody's stealin', I swear to God |
| [03:05.032] | Tsk, for now, I invest |
| [03:06.890] | To my incarcerated team who got life |
| [03:09.170] | It's not right but you still got your life |
| [03:11.370] | Rest in peace to Gil Scott from the kill or be killed blocks |
| [03:14.122] | Not from Philly but a ***** done hustled them hilltops |
| [03:16.924] | Commercial pop artists get all the accolades |
| [03:19.444] | I give a million cash away to be revered like Donny Hathaway |
| [03:22.512] | Probably not as half as paid as I should be |
| [03:24.581] | But I stay in some cars and stay in some pxssy |
| [03:27.078] | It's a beautiful life(Beautiful life, beautiful life) |
| [03:28.469] | Chorus-RaVaughn, Nas: Woah |
| [03:30.434] | Life is good, I must admit it (Yeah) |
| [03:33.864] | Woah (Beautiful life) |
| [03:35.679] | Ups and downs, we've all been through it |
| [03:39.177] | Woah (Life's still good) |
| [03:41.367] | Ain't no other way to do it |
| [03:44.680] | Woah (Yeah, yeah) |
| [03:46.608] | Life is good, it's good, it's good |
| [03:47.765] | Verse 3: Nas |
| [03:48.565] | A thin line from this gangsta life and rap stuff |
| [03:50.900] | I can say I never been punked, robbed, or smacked up |
| [03:53.622] | Proud to say I never been chased, jumped, or backed up |
| [03:56.415] | Or extorted for my pay stubs |
| [03:57.713] | Lucky or blessed from what prayer does |
| [03:59.739] | 'Cause hey, I was riding in caravans with AK's and gloves inside 'em |
| [04:03.068] | And if I should spare that man who violated my trust |
| [04:05.479] | I gave him a pass |
| [04:06.543] | My man called and I value his judgement |
| [04:08.568] | I let it ride and thought no more of it, it's over |
| [04:11.285] | So if it's my turn to be on the other side of the gun |
| [04:13.856] | I'm granted my four leaf clover, no one's leaving me colder |
| [04:16.852] | 'Cause I chilled and let you breathe, yes |
| [04:18.722] | Let's go our own ways and let the beef digress |
| [04:21.379] | I done seen insanity close up, schizophrenia shows up in most us |
| [04:24.946] | My younger brother knows this |
| [04:26.609] | Not Jungle, got another brother in PA |
| [04:28.692] | Spazzed on' em, hurt me to put hands on 'em 'til this day |
| [04:31.500] | I gotta say I got some fam across the USA |
| [04:34.031] | Cackalack to Kansas but my mans around the way had contacts |
| [04:37.188] | They was Spanish coppin' grams and cooking 'ye |
| [04:39.125] | Willie, Bo, blowing haze, Mayo next door |
| [04:42.075] | Joe, Martin, Slade, I'm solo these days |
| [04:44.060] | It wasn't my fault |
| [04:45.192] | I never knew the time of death |
| [04:46.696] | and maturity would sever my crew up in New York |
| [04:49.243] | Barely survived |
| [04:50.136] | Large, I thank you for teaching me |
| [04:51.736] | not to pop my letter P's in the booth |
| [04:54.006] | How to control my vocals and spit poetically smooth |
| [04:56.569] | Akinyele, you knew |
| [04:57.718] | I was your brother 'til death |
| [04:59.450] | Back when you put me on to NiQuay from Lefrak |
| [05:01.795] | You was a dime, we was nobodies |
| [05:04.067] | Say what's up to Shameek, send my love to Yadi |
| [05:06.673] | I pray we all get old if I never again go gold and sell tickets |
| [05:10.206] | We could all still kick it |
| [05:11.950] | It's a beautiful life |
| [05:13.999] | Beautiful life, beautiful life |
| [05:15.746] | Outro: Nas |
| [05:16.536] | Rest in peace to my brother Talik |
| [05:19.437] | Gone too soon |
| [05:21.390] | God bless your soul brother |
| [05:23.835] | He was wild |
| [05:25.770] | Some things we just can't explain |
| [05:28.989] | Life |
| [05:30.852] | It's messed up how much time get wasted that you can't get back |
| [05:34.419] | With your kids at an early age |
| [05:37.159] | First steps, first words |
| [05:39.491] | I can't see 'em cause you mad |
| [05:42.668] | Don't put yourself before the babies |
| [05:45.858] | Don't say crazy things to hurt that man |
| [05:49.172] | You hurt him enough |
| [05:51.797] | The good times outweighed the bad |
| [05:54.474] | When it was good, it was great |
| [05:57.506] | But because I could see him now through the courts, you mad |
| [06:03.962] | Okay that's how it is out here |
| [06:07.110] | That's life huh |
| [06:09.489] | You see we can't be selfish out here |
| [06:14.657] | We gotta live and let love |
| [06:19.889] | Let the light in |
| [06:21.602] | To the beautiful mothers of my kids |
| [06:24.011] | And all the mothers around the world |
