Lifestylez Ov Da Poor & Dangerous Lyrics
(everybody everywhere is scratching for what they can get<br>
Did you think anybody in this town is any different?<br>
They don't give a damn who gets killed<br>
Just as long as "the dice keep rollin<br>
The hoes keep hoein<br>
And the money keeps flowin")<br>
<br>
My name is l, and i'm from a part of town where clowns<br>
Get beat down and all you hear is gunshot sounds<br>
On 139 and lennox ave. there's a big park<br>
And if you're soft, don't go through it when it gets dark<br>
Cause at nighttime niggas try to tax<br>
They're sneakier than alley cats<br>
That's why i carry gats<br>
Yo, i'm a muthafuckin fugitive<br>
Buckwild and foul is the lifestyle that i choose to live<br>
Because to me it's all about a buck<br>
I used to have a partner in crime by the name of chuck<br>
We stormed the city, shootin shit up like frank nitty<br>
We robbed kids and split the dough 50/50<br>
One day we stuck a dice game on the ave. and split the cash<br>
Then i murdered his ass and took his half<br>
Because i'm all about ends and skins<br>
When you got dough, you don't need no muthafuckin friends<br>
If i catch you on a late night, black, you're gettin stuck, jack<br>
My moms told me to get a job, fuck that<br>
Aiyo, picture me gettin a job<br>
Takin orders from bob, sellin corn on the cob<br>
Yo, how the hell i'ma make ends meet<br>
Makin about 120 dollars a week?<br>
Man, i rather do another hit<br>
I want clean clothes, mean hoes, and all that other shit<br>
Yo, i admit, i'm a sucker<br>
A low down, dirty, sneaky, double-crossin canivin muthafucka<br>
Breakin in cribs with a chrome bar<br>
I wasn't 'poor', i was po', i couldn't afford the 'o-r'<br>
I used to wait until it gets dark<br>
And tell a nigga to strip, i wanna see some birthmarks<br>
Like a ninja, dressed in black with a ski mask<br>
I take all the funds, then i run down the street fast<br>
I vicked this nigga named eugene<br>
Took his brand new ring<br>
Cause stickin up's a everyday routine<br>
Once i was crusin in a beat-up ride<br>
Saw this nigga named clyde<br>
And snuck up on him from the blind side<br>
I told him, "give up the dough, before you get smoked<br>
Oh you're broke? ( *shots* ) now you're dead broke"<br>
The big l was cold crazy<br>
https://www.elyricsworld.com/lifestylez_ov_da_poor_,,amp;_dangerous_lyrics_big_l.html
A top-notch crook snatchin pocket books from old ladies<br>
I don't care, i'll do anything to get a buck<br>
Even rob a miller truck, cause i don't give a fuck<br>
Some say i'm ruthless, some say i'm grim<br>
Once a brother done broke into my house and i robbed him<br>
Plenty and many brains i bust<br>
Cause i was livin the lifestyle of the poor and dangerous<br>
<br>
Word<br>
All of us from harlem<br>
139<br>
That's livin the lifestyle of the poor & dangerous<br>
Uknowmsayin?<br>
This goes out<br>
To my brothers<br>
Big lee and don ice<br>
Reggie reg, t.c., todd, lou, black tone<br>
Whitey, ty speeder, ru dog, herb mcgruff<br>
E-jet, g love, doc ring, slice and rich dice<br>
I can't forget the 1-4-0<br>
Lennox ave., troop<br>
And i gotta say rest in peace to mate the skate, dog<br>
And my man kerry<br>
Peace<br>
<br>
(now what kinda life is that for a child?<br>
Now what kinda life is that for a child?<br>
Now what kinda life is that for a fuckin child?<br>
Word to mother<br>
Fuck all that stupid shit<br>
Controversial, not commercial, nigga)<br>
