Young! It's the life Once again it's the life, yes I don't know why I get so high, oh It's intoxicating, man, y'all don't know why you do what you do Get so high oh, get so high, high off the life The allure of breaking the law Was always too much for me to ever ignore I've got a thing for the big-body Benzes, it dulls my senses In love with a V-Dub engine Man, I'm high off life, fuck it, I'm wasted Bathing Ape kicks, Audemars Piguet wrist My women-friends get tennis bracelets Trips to Venice, get their Winters replaced with The sun, it ain't even fun no more, I'm jaded Man, it's just a game, I just play it to play it I put my feet in the footprints left to me Without saying a word, the ghetto's got a mental telepathy Man, my brother hustled so, naturally Up next was me, but what perplexes me Shit, I know how this movie ends, still I play The starring role in "Hovito's Way" It's just life, I solemnly swear To change my approach, stop shaving coke Stay away from hoes, put down the toast 'Cause I be doing the most (oh no!) But every time I felt "That was that", it called me right back It called me right back Man, it called me right back (oh no!) I'm like a Russian mobster, drinking distilled vodka Until I'm under the field with Hoffa, it's real Peel the top up like a toupée, mix the water with the soda Turn the pot up, make a soufflé All of y'all can get it like group-page on your two-way I'm living proof that crime do pay Say "hooray" to the bad guy, and all the broads Putting cars in their name, for the stars of the game Putting 'caine in their bras and their tomorrows on the train All in the name of love Just to see that love locked in chains and the family came Over the house to take back everything that they claimed Or even the worse pain is the distress Learning you're the mistress only after that love gets slain And the anger and the sorrow mixed up leads to mistrust Now it gets tough to ever love again But the allure of the game, keeps calling your name To all the Lauras of the world, I feel your pain To all the Christies in different cities and Tiffany Lanes We all hustlers in love with the same thing It's just life, I solemnly swear To change my approach, stop shaving coke Stay away from hoes, put down the toast 'Cause I be doing the most (oh no!) But every time I felt "That was that", it called me right back It called me right back Man, it called me right back (oh no!) I never felt more alive than riding shotgun In Klein's green 5, until the cops pulled guns And I tried to smoke weed to give me the fix I need What the game did to my pulse with no results And you can treat your nose and still won't come close The game is a light bulb with eleventy-million volts And I'm just a moth addicted to the floss The doors lift from the floor and the tops come off By any means necessary, whatever the cost Even if it means lives is lost And I can't explain why I just love to get high Drink, "life!" smoke the blueberry sky, blink twice I'm in the blueberry 5, you blink three times I may not even be alive I mean even James Dean couldn't escape the allure Dying young, leaving a good-looking corpse Of course I solemnly swear To change my approach, stop shaving coke Stay away from hoes, put down the toast 'Cause I be doing the most (oh no!) But every time I felt "That was that", it called me right back It called me right back Man, it called me right back (oh no!) Once again it's the life Yeah, I said it's the life Once I again it's the life (Oh no! I don't know why, I) (Get so high, oh) (Get so high, oh) (Get so high, high off the life)
