(feat. Ja Rule)



[Intro: N.O.R.E.]

Yeah niggas, yeah

Uhhh, that's what I'm talkin 'bout right here niggas

That's what I'm talkin 'bout right here Gotti

This what I needed, nigga

This the shit I wanted right here

This another "Nahmeanuheard"!

It's off Beelzebub for real

Gon' live my life man (I'mma live my life...)

Stop hatin' on us (Stop hatin' on us...)

Talk to 'em



[Chorus: Ja Rule & N.O.R.E. ad libbing]

Life, love, me

I'm gon' live my life, hey

Thug Life, Lord you know me

This ain't life, this ain't love, save me

I'm gon' live my life, hey

Thug Life, Lord you know me



Yo, yo

So what, you think I'm 'posed to live in the hood my whole damn life

And get married on the Ave. with my damn wife

(N.O.R.E. & Ja Rule)

I'm gon' live my life, and she gon' live her life

(N.O.R.E.)

And we gon' be a-aight

So shit, I send the kites to my niggas in jail (Send that kite, nigga)

And tell them niggas we good, once N.O. sell

And to my street niggas, we done flipped out and beat niggas

And made the loudest niggas turn dis-creet niggas

As far as these chicks, they lovin' the pipe

And she don't even like you, wanna thug in her life

See, she wanna a nigga go and walk the hood with her

That nigga try to front on her, I'm in the hood with her

Shit, so stressed I could see it in her face--

When she walking down the block, but with me feel safe

And them niggas won't front, have them dudes erased, it go...



[Chorus]



See I'm a vet, nigga, and I could take you to school

And it's my fifth album, 'bout to quit like Rule

So go head and try it, see it just don't match

And ya man hate me, 'cause y'all just don't match

Got my gun on me, and I could walk you upstairs

'Til you get inside the crib, girl, I ain't scared

And tell ya man don't even come outside (Y'all niggas stay in the crib!)

'Cause if he even try frontin', I'mma make that nigga run outside

See I'm a, thug for real, I hold the steel

And I could walk you through the hood on the darkest hill

See she love N.O.R.E., plus any nigga like me

Drivin' in the drop with a 10 cent icey

Shit, she want a thug that's basically

See she scared in the projects, but safe with me

Shit, N.O... (N.O...) R to the E

Spin out at 90 I'm hard with the V, it go...



[Chorus]



Yo, a-yo, good green, 'bout to get some Valley stick

I'm on the west coast, fuckin' with my Cali bitch

And she always want some in the night and the morning

Wanna know everywhere, and where I'm performin'

Shit, but it's aight, just let her ride

Yo she down wit' a nigga, just let her ride

See 

(N.O.R.E. & Ja Rule)

I'm gon' live my life, and she gon' live her life, yo...



[Chorus: Ja Rule & N.O.R.E. ad libbing]

Life, love, me

I'm gon' live my life, hey

Thug Life, Lord you know me

This ain't life, this ain't love, save me

I'm gon' live my life, hey

Thug Life, Lord you know me
