Lyrics:
[Intro: 2pac]
La Vita
Tryin to live the good life
Good Life
[2pac]
I was so money orientated, initiated as a thug
Fiendin for wicked adventures, ambitious as I was
Picture a nigga on the verge of livin insane
I sold my soul for a chance to kick it and bang
Now tell if I’m wrong
but sayin “Fuck the world” got you deeper in my songs
Drinkin ’til I earl, spendin money ’til it’s gone
It’s the good life – maybe niggaz got it goin on
Now maybe if I died, and came back, wouldn’t have to slang crack
Addicted to the game, so obviously we came strapped
Please forgive me for my wicked ways, fuck a bitch
Bad Boy niggaz eat a dick a day, bumpin this
Lord have mercy it’s a slaughter
So wicked that my tracks is wettin niggaz like it’s water
I learned my lessons as a thug in these wicked ass hood fights
But I’m a baller now, nigga, I live the good life
[Chorus]
This is the good life, fuck my foes
God bless the dumb niggaz that, trust them hoes
Found a way to stack money guaranteed to rise
and live the good life, cause thug niggaz don’t die
See
We live the good life, fuck my foes
God bless the dumb niggaz that, trust these hoes
Found a way to stack money guaranteed to rise
and live the good life, cause thug niggaz don’t die
[Mussolini (Syke)]
No one knows what the, future holds, but you
Haha.. listen close
They say reach in yo’ heart and you’ll find your mind
Every day in the streets, got my foresight blind
My after time is narrow, peepin down the barrel of a 4
Just a nigga or a killer I don’t know so
Who makes the call will I fall a victim like the rest?
Slug in the chest, one in the dome and make sure I’m gone
Send me home all alone in these cold streets
In desperation constantly drinkin and I can’t sleep
Neck deep strugglin tryin to survive
Some wanna die I wanna stay alive, eyes on the prize
Let me modify this whole region
I declare this sucker duckin season, give me the reason
why I should change, into a softy
.. after living so lofty
It cost me my soul out of control in a devil’s world
Me, my niggaz, and my girl – livin the good life!
[Chorus]
We live the good life, fuck my foes
God bless the dumb niggaz that, trust these hoes
Found a way to stack money guaranteed to rise
and live the good life, cause thug niggaz don’t die
Uh
We live the good life, fuck my foes
God bless the dumb niggaz that, trust these hoes
Found a way to stack money guaranteed to rise
and live the good life, us thug niggaz don’t die
[E.D.I. Amin]
Yeah
The sun rises, and slowly awakin
Suddenly taken
The sight of my kids and my lady
Man there’s no mistaken
I’m in a safe haven, the good life if you will
It will fulfill from that street life
Cause here I get the slick nights
Bad Boys, faded, and all those who traded, but eliminated
Dog I do believe we made it
And all lookers captivated, surprised that arise
Didn’t think that we could take it, we seen the paper and had to chase it
Thugs from the bottom up, got ’em up, with all the jewels, ballers true
The niggas who you thought was you
While you livin’ at soft, we Mobb, realistically, forever pro and change
And picture me in the mist of all this stress and pain
The young nigga that got a hold of the game
Livin that good life
[Chorus]
We live the good life, fuck my foes
God bless the dumb niggaz that, trust these hoes
Found a way to stack money guaranteed to rise
and live the good life, cause thug niggaz don’t die
Huh
We live the good life, fuck my foes
God bless the dumb niggaz that, trust these hoes
Found a way to stack money guaranteed to rise
and live the good life, cause thug niggaz don’t uh
This is the good life, fuck my foes
God bless the dumb niggaz that, trust these hoes
Found a way to stack money guaranteed to rise
and live the good life, cause thug niggaz don’t uh
This is the good life, fuck my foes
God bless the dumb niggaz that, trust these hoes
Found a way to stack money guaranteed to rise
and live the good life, cause thug niggaz don’t die
