(Project Pat)
I was broke pocket full of lint now I`m on the bricks
getting paid like no other dog now I`m stackin` chips
on the road like a trucker man had to take some trips
doing shows for my brothers but strapped with extra clicks
just in case any sucker would wanna run his lips
a female I don`t trust her cause women like to trip
I stay all by my getty green hell with some time
there some crime that was petty seem still getting mine
all this hate trip I`m hearing though you I ain`t fearing
better try to be growing old man with your children
escalate what a nigga staring his last days nearing
trying to get it right with god only one who I`m fearing
hopin` I`ma make it keep it real
never knew I get the chances for a nigga to get paid
so I take it living like a player should
wishin` that you could knowin` it`s all to the good
still down with the hood
(Chorus: repeat)
This Life We Live (Life as we see it)
See it`s oh so beautiful (Oh it`s so) beautiful
Oh so beautiful (Oh it`s so beautiful)

Last year my cousin took a fall, a sad song
seem like we were just on the phone now he gone
people use to try to judge him sayin` he was wrong
but you can`t try to judge a man you do you wrong
smokin` out on a daily base I`m in the clouds
drinkin` liqour fallin` on my face
wondering how I survive all this foolishness
up in the street ridin` dirty I ain`t new to this
I`m packin` heat but the streets very hazardous
to a niggaz health watch your step you ain`t Lazarus
you`ll meet your death
I`m the man from the North, North site of the town
with the will to support me and keep em found
stayin` down got your gold grills dro in the air
barbecue on the grill sun cool for a player
when I ride through the streets hoes are plentiful
Cause the life that we live so beau-ti-ful
(Chorus) 2x
(Project Pat)
Gotta take the good with the bad
smile with the sad, love what you got
and remember what you had messin` with the ones
who help me in the times
when I was flat broke didn`t even have a dime
my family they was there, my niggaz they was there
the rest of ya`ll left me for dead didn`t care
I use to have dreams livin` large in this thang
and by the grace of god I`m still alive in this thang
I strive in this game to get all that I can
Never said I`m the man, respect me as a man
to you ones think I owe you somethin`
now that`s a joke think you bad come and get you somethin`
how low to dope
either treal either fake
you can love you can hate
either go and get your own or you can`t sit and wait
on the next man to come up you can peep this
you can do what I do handle your bu-si-ness
(Chorus) 2x
