big l - lifestylez ov da poor and dangerous lyrics
[intro]
(everybody everywhere is scratching for what they can get
did you think anybody in this town is any different?
they don’t give a d-mn who gets k!lled
just as long as “the dice keep rollin
the hoes keep hoeing and the money keeps flowin”)
[verse]
my name is l, and i’m from a part of town where clowns
get beat down and all you hear is gunshot sounds
on 139 and lenox ave. there’s a big park
and if you’re soft, don’t go through it when it gets dark
cause at nighttime n-ggas try to tax
they’re sneakier than alley cats
that’s why i carry gats
yo, i’m a m-th-f-ckin’ fugitive
buckwild and foul is the lifestyle that i choose to live
because to me it’s all about a buck
i used to have a partner in crime by the name of chuck
we stormed the city, shooting sh-t up like frank nitti
we robbed kids and split the dough 50/50
one day we stuck a dice game on the ave. and split the cash
then i murdered his -ss and took his half
because i’m all about ends and skins
when you got those, you don’t need no m-th-f-ckin friends
if i catch you on a late night, black, you’re getting stuck, jack
my moms told me to get a job, f-ck that
ayo, picture me getting a job
taking orders from bob, selling corn on the cob
yo, how the h-ll i’mma make ends meet
making about 120 dollars a week
man, i rather do another hit
i want clean clothes, mean hoes and all that other sh-t
yo, i admit, i’m a sucker
a low down, dirty, sneaky, double-crossin connivin’ m-th-f-cka
breaking in cribs with a crowbar
i wasn’t poor, i was po’ – i couldn’t afford the ‘o-r’
i used to wait until it gets dark
and tell a n-gga to strip, i wanna see some birthmarks
like a ninja, dressed in black with a ski mask
i take all the funds, then i run down the street fast
i vicked this n-gga named eugene, took his brand new ring
cause sticking up’s an everyday routine
once i was cruising in a beat-up ride
saw this n-gga named clyde
and snuck up on him from the blind side
i told him, “give up the dough, before you get smoked
oh you’re broke? -gunshots-
now you’re dead broke”
the big l was cold crazy
a top-notch crook sn-tching pocketbooks from old ladies
i don’t care, i’ll do anything to get a buck
even rob a miller truck, cause i don’t give a f-ck
some say i’m ruthless, some say i’m grim
once a burglar broke into my house and i robbed him
plenty and many brains i bust
cause i was livin’ the lifestyle of the poor and dangerous
word
all of us from harlem
139
that’s living the lifestyle of the poor and dangerous
knawhatimsayin?
this goes out
to my brothers
big lee and don ice
reggie reg, t.c., todd, lou, black tone
whitey, ty speeder, ru dog, herb mcgruff
e-jet, g love, doc ring, slice and rich dice
i can’t forget the 1-4-0, lennox ave, crew
and i gotta say rest in peace to mate the skate, dog
and my man kerry, peace
now what kinda life is that for a child
now what kinda life is that for a child
now what kinda life is that for a child
now what kinda life is that for a f-cking child
word to mother, f-ck all that stupid sh-t
controversial, not commercial, n-gga
