Lyrics
(CHORUS ;DEBBIE VALENTE) In this sinful life, we were born to die; In this sinful life, we were born to die; but we, we must fight to survive; but we, we must fight to survive. (1st verse ZAWLES) Its like a city that’s dark with no street lights, you only seeing the sparkle of the gunfights kids trying to earn stripes two wrongs don’t make it right, but for the hype they be quick to take they brothers life and why not cuz I’m a product of these crooked blocks, with dope dealers ,crack heads and crooked cops. Why should they leave it up to me to make the violence stop, I aint start the shit, im trying to make a profit and fatten up my pockets my breath I gotta gasp it, when thinking of my brothers buried in a casket buried two last year my heart pumps no fear. On my block I got more stripes than good year tires I’m the Don here. The hood made me not care and made me not to expect to live long years, a young G that’s trying to see the next perspective and take the focus off death so we can all live, yeah, yeah (CHORUS; DEBBIE VALENTE) In this sinful life, we were born to die; In this sinful life, we were born to die; but we, we must fight to survive; but we, we must fight to survive. (2nd VERSE; ZAWLES) Ever since JahZawles died, I dont trust a soul thats no lie thats why I walk around with a chromed out 45, keep my gears and kicks clean to stay fortified, Bustin' shots back at bitch niggas to stay alive, bought a new system with navigation for the ride, coward niggas run but they know can't hide, I roll with killas in every hood where I go, from them Brooklyn blocks to the streets of Toronto, You can catch me MoBay, Fletchers Land or Red Hills Road in Jamaica where its hot but the killers is cold They gimme California love on them Inglewood blocks, even made a wrong turn once and rolled through Watts. On the corner all day hustling ducking the cops, thats the way I used to hustle now I transport on yachts No mercy, no fear, we ride and don't care what nobody wanna say cuz we lived this for years. Yeah! (CHORUS; DEBBIE VALENTE) In this sinful life, we were born to die; In this sinful life, we were born to die; but we, we must fight to survive; but we, we must fight to survive. (3rd Verse; ZAWLES) And though I miss my older brothers with a passion I know they in a ghetto heaven lampin’ living up in thugs mansion, puffin’ on a chalice pipe with Marley and Tosh, spittin’ ryhmes drinking hennesy with Biggie and Pac and you know it gets no realer than that so put ya two guns up, gun salute and let me here you go blat! For any soldier you know that didn’t get their fair shot at life we livin’ trife ain’t no denying that, its like a habitat for guns and we all stay strapped and we having that no funds shit we all sell packs. Trying hard to keep my life on track go to school get a profession like a Doc big up my sister for that, hoping the game might cut me some slack, I’m talking ‘bout the rap game the aim is to come up off of street fame , younger niggas wanna murke you just to get a street name, living like we insane but I’m saying. Yeah (CHORUS; DEBBIE VALENTE) In this sinful life, we were born to die; In this sinful life, we were born to die; but we, we must fight to survive; but we, we must fight to survive.
