murs - live my life lyrics
[33 second intro]
{-troutman-esque sample says “liiiiiive my liiife”-}
[murs]
born march ’78, feco and carmone the mid-city l.a
okay liquor was on the corner
basically raised on rap, found ways to adapt
to every new hood i moved to, so way before “colors” came out
we knew the differences between red and blue
back then, my whole crew all, played pop warner football
from tiny mites to pee-wees, we’d be tight
until we moved to the valley, neighborhoods was all white
only blacks on the block, can’t count amounts of times
somebody got socked for callin me out my name
but i still came up on game where i first learned to slang herb
and arranged words into the form of rhymes
but, times got rough
moms wasn’t tryin to see me and my stepdad, throw fisticuffs
so we moved back, to the m-c, and that sh-t bent me
but it made my raps tighter, and so did my hustle
and after my first hustle i was brought back to reality
and reminded, respect didn’t come, automatically
so i earned mine, learned my claim
got some beadies for my stress and graffiti for my name
ditchin school everyday just to kick it at the crib
bein a bad–ss kid
but the older that you get the more you’re watchin how you live

[murs]
now i claim a legend, that’s a lot to be living up to
i dedicate my every word, to my n-ggas who know how i feel
when yo’ momma say she givin up on you
my luck was like that twenty-two, catch
cause what i wanted from life, and what i got didn’t match
lack of scratch got me itchin to hit l!cks
but now i watch the lil’ homies and realize i’m too old for that sh-t
that be on my mind, when i’m on my way to the train
when you’re livin in oakland, with l.a. on the brain
too much anger to be contained, so the rap’s my only outlet
feelin like the deck was stacked against me since the outset
n-ggas from my hood lookin at me like “yo sh-t ain’t out yet~!?”
but only if they knew how much patience it takes
when you got a book full of headline stories, just waitin to break
but when we do interrupt your normal schedule of events
the sh-t will be so bomb, a threat to national defense
too late, to mount the counter–ssault, but thus far
i’ve focused four years of my life on infiltration of the walkman
for domination of the asphault
doin what the f-ck i want, while these b-tch n-ggas talk
.. y’know, run your mouth all you want
doin what the f-ck i want, but while you b-tch n-ggas talk i’ll

[murs]
i mean sh-t it’s a nice world if i was to actually believe
everything they tellin me, but i know better than that sh-t
so i’m out to get a little scratch and that spice girl, melanie b
you see, no great expectations
just out to enjoy this sh-t until my date of expiration
hopin my -ss will age like fine wine
cause there’s so much to do, and such little time
so i’ll be d-mned if i waste my days, for minimum wage
as a slave, or have some professor that’s overpaid
control the way that i behave
afraid of commitment homey, i think not
cause i’m committed to these beadies and this music
cause it’s all that i got
cancer and some answers to some questions posed to oneself
and recited in the hopes they felt by someone else
but this five dollar ring on my hand stamps out the reminder
you can’t always have, everything that you want
cause rejection hurt like a motherf-cker n-gga i won’t front
heart broke like my pockets and dreams
so now i’m on the hunt to see if it’s possible
to fix three things at once, while i
