[Intro]
|
Look into my eyes and you will see: (My Struggle my pain)
|
My life my pain and the things that made me (made me who i am)
|
There's no other place that i would rather be (Benzino) i didn't choose this life, this life chose me...
|
|
[Benzino Speaking]
|
This one's for the world, my people
|
U think u know me? U have no idea who i am, This is my story
|
It's not about the magazine (no), about my baggy jeans (no) and my braidz (no) and my jewelery (ah ah), the money: nah, (non of that) i didn't choose this life, this life chose me
|
|
[verse one]
|
It wasn't long ago when it all began
|
standin' in the graveyard while they buried my men
|
it's when i first understood how this game was played
|
Either kill a nigga quick or u might get played
|
Street was never was that big, the hood's even smaller
|
grew up in the projects that moved the four quarters
|
Pop's went to prison, i knew about the system
|
every sunday morning, me and mom's payed a visit
|
He was heavy in the streets maybe mafia connected
|
all i'm gonna say he was very well respected
|
They called me raydog, yeah that's Titos son
|
I met a lot of great men for many years to come
|
I'm gettin' money on my block all night
|
Runnin' with a bunch of niggaz born to fight, Nigga!
|
Boston was the first on the east to really bang out
|
Niggaz wanted streets while them automatics rang out
|
|
[chorus]
|
Look into my eyes and you will see: (My life my pain)
|
My life my pain and the things that made me (There's no other place)
|
There's no other place that i would rather be (That's right) i didn't choose this life, this life chose me...
|
|
[Verse two]
|
Now fucking with these niggaz on the other side of town
|
The allmighty spalms, we the hottest click around
|
Jewelery was heavy niggas rolled thirty thick
|
Artillery was heavy niggas, Jake standn' on my dick
|
And i'm squeezin all types of guns, what eva
|
Mom's keeps cryin', but that's the life of thugs
|
And that's the life i love, i'm addicted to it
|
Street life, real thug niggaz makin' rap music
|
I met Dave at the radio, he cool
|
started the source mag, always had to be in school
|
It was one piece of paper then they grew in to a book
|
But i had my own paper, cause my block was a look
|
I caught i couple of Benz, i'm fighting court cases
|
It was news at eleven, or in the news papers
|
Investigation federal, i knew it from the start
|
I knew that jealousy and envy tore my crew apart
|
|
[chorus]
|
Look into my eyes and you will see: (My life my pain)
|
My life my pain and the things that made me (There's no other place)
|
There's no other place that i would rather be (That's right) i didn't choose this life, this life chose me...
|
|
[Verse three]
|
If money is the root of all evil then burn it
|
Or get up off you ass mothafucka and earn it
|
I moved to New York, It was time to make it happen
|
Dave is my dog and yeah zino's still rappin'
|
I walk trough the valley of death with no fear
|
I'm holding Dave down till the niggaz's outta here (beleve that)
|
I breath fore my niggaz disease, holding in
|
Exhale all the anger that i'm holding within
|
To many people in my life, never coming back (no)
|
It's never where you from, it's only where standin' now
|
Got a few good niggaz, a box of amunition, that's all i really need for me to carry out a mission
|
If Eminem wanna squash beef tell him call me (where u at?)
|
Meet him any where, he can bring his whole army (Bring em')
|
The day will soon come when the world recognize
|
Zino is the realist,since Pac been alive
|
|
[chorus] x2
|
Look into my eyes and you will see: (My life my pain)
|
My life my pain and the things that made me (There's no other place)
|
There's no other place that i would rather be (I didn't chose this life) i didn't choose this life, this life chose me...(yeah yeah)
