[Napoleon: talking]

Outlawz... could never touch the kids in the ghetto man

That's where I'm from..... man



[Chorus]

This is our life

Even tho' the sun dont always shine

It's still our life

If you keep yo head up everything will be alright

In living your life



[Napoleon]

I'm damn near 'bout to go in tears

Writin' this verse here

I feel like I'm cursed here

I'm choked up since I lost my peers

But I know one day we be back again

One love to my Mexicans

Tryin' to run across the border

To see freedom all over again

Man... One love to my Africans

They try to kill us with AIDS

But they smart again

It's like I die once that I be born again

With the grace of Allah

Kept away my sins

From the ghetto where they play with heavy metal to win

Lost my parents so I moved with my next-of-kin

Life.... just so mych pain to me

To tell the truth I dont wanna die angrily

Makaveli and Kadafi, them trained me

I feel yall in the dark steady hatin' me



[Chorus]

This is our life

Even tho' the sun dont always shine

It's still our life

If you keep yo head up everything will be alright

In living your life



[Edi]

In '96 we was on top of the world

Videos, movies, money, jewels and girls

Rolls Royces, Hummers, Jagz and all that

Hard to believe one night in Vegas changed all that

Fast forward... 6 years

Man, we still here

Despite be hated on (huh) 

We still clear

Until the end of time you cant stop destiny

Back for everything they owe

Now let's go



[Young Noble]

I got the spirit of a angel

The heart of a soldier

The mind of a militant

Was blessed by my mother

The inspiration of my life

She 4 years clean

With 15 years on the pipe

And she just got married

I felt pain... ya sayin' Pac smilin' at the wedding

Never forget her mah'

Yall baby fool, I promise to ya Imma stay a trooper

Outlawz done die

We forever move



[Chorus]

This is our life

Even tho' the sun dont always shine

It's still our life

If you keep yo head up everything will be alright

In living your life



[Kastro]

Oh... I'm on, pens and needles

Needles and pens

These 2 Tims was my Beemer

Before I heard of a Benz

I got lost tryin' to find my ends

And got crossed tryin' to find me a friend

That's life.... 

We sacrifice for better days

We pray for a better way that never came

Hey! (hey.. hey)

What's more precious then a innocent child, smilin'

??? was foul, look at his smile

School's not cool

Them big body rules

The workin' mans a fool

If he cant afford the jewels

Look at how life use ya

Abuse and confuse ya

Remember we was suppose to be the future?

Now we grown

The future is here and we gone

Oh where did we go wrong

Let's live...

And do right by these kids my friend

They the only shot we got at living life again

C'mon



[Chorus x2]

This is our life

Even tho' the sun dont always shine

It's still our life

If you keep yo head up everything will be alright

In living your life
