[Intro]
Huh, this ain't livin
Nigga

[Verse 1]
I hear even the smaller Gs be dippin' chevy impalas
While flossin' they gold teeths, O.G's is who they follow
We swallow tomorrow's seeds what we leave is hollow
We feed violence and greed Let 'em lead tomorrow
In time they grippin' nines sippin' wine they wild
Still I be starin' Watch the parents sacrifice they child
The love's gone, A thug's home with no love feelin' so strong
Make young boys in the club dealers
Now one's for adolescents, Now dose for doughs
Keep your friends by your side even close your foes
Now three for johnny law tryin' to take my chips
I never pulled the trigger, didn't touch that bitch
Throw your hands in the air, it's a robbery
_________ think of Pac
Would you ride with me?
Let's go see what our enemies talkin' 'bout
When Gs enter the house nobody's walkin' out

This ain't livin
It's similar to prison, we're trapped
My homies jealous plus they tell us that the phones is tapped
I watch my back twenty-four seven
And never let a busta send a G to ghetto heaven
You know - this is how it goes when we floss with flows
Before I toss your hoes
It would cost you mo'
I do shows make a lotta dough, murder my foes
But I'd give it all up - if it would help you grow
This ain't livin

[Chorus]
(singer)
Takes a life to make a life
Livin in a world of crime -
And I -
Can't find a better way to breakthrough
(Pac)
This ain't livin
(singer)
This ain't livin' - I gotta do what I gotta do
(Pac)
This ain't livin
(singer)
Takes a life to make a life
Livin in a world of crime -
And I -
Can't find a better way to breakthrough
This ain't livin' - I gotta do what I gotta do


[Verse 2]
Peep
Gunfire is produced at alarmin' rates
Today's youth quick to shoot get in the car and break
It takes a nation of millions if we intend to stop the killin'
Just search your feelin's participation should be appealin'
They our seeds and when they bleed we bleed
That's what becomes of lonely children they turn to Gz
Heavenly father can you rescue?
My young nation - rest the lord will protect you, respect due
Not a threat as I step in blue
And check those that opposed when I froze them fools
And who are you - to watch me fall father
I disappeared and reappeared as the _____________
Follow me now
Skippin' class and livin' fast Will get your ass
Stuck in the pen, doin' life plus ten
Young brother pump your brakes for me
Before you choke won't you soak up some game from your big homie

This ain't livin'
We givin' you jewels, use 'em as tools
Explode on the industry and fade them fools
You know the rules gotta be a ridah
You can run the redlights but read the street signs, hey
This for all of y'all to keep on raisin' hell
Put a pistol in your hand and let you fade yourself
It ain't right what you put your mama through, young G
Gotta change your life take the game from me
This ain't livin'

[Chorus]
(singer)
Takes a life to make a life
Livin in a world of crime -
And I -
Can't find a better way to breakthrough
This ain't livin' - I gotta do what I gotta do

(singer)
Takes a life to make a life
Livin in a world of crime -
And I -
Can't find a better way to breakthrough
This ain't livin' - I gotta do what I gotta do

(singer)
Takes a life to make a life
Livin in a world of crime -
And I -
Can't find a better way to breakthrough
This ain't livin' - I gotta do what I gotta do

(singer)
Takes a life to make a life
Livin in a world of crime -
And I 
- Can't find a better way to breakthrough
This ain't livin' - I gotta do what I gotta do
