Lyrics:

(INTRO / VERSE)

The barz slam shut / Take a look at your life now

Family crying at the trial when you strike out

Got a long stretch / A long bus ride

You’re a gangster for life / Yeah / A real tough guy

When you cry in your cell / Tear drop tattooz

Scared as a motherfucker but you’re playing it cool

Everybody playz the fool / Homeboy, thatz life

C.O.

all up in your azz with a finger and a flashlight

You wanna fuck snatch but settle for azz

Jackin' off to fuck bookz / Trying to make the time pass

Iz that the path you want your blood to follow???

Never really knowing if you’re gonna see tomorow

Looking over both shoulderz / You’re in a bad mood

Now you’re hungry as fuck but therez hairz in your food

Get a letter from your brother trying to be like you

And not once did you tell the homie ‘Stay in school'

Misery lovez company / While you’re sittin' / Reminiscing

You wonder why the homiez ain’t coming by to visit

But, really / They don’t give a shit / Life goes on

And now you’re wishing that you’re free / Knowing right from wrong

Sending wilaz to the homiez but they don’t write back

Said you’re ‘homeboyz for life' but itz not like that

Doing burpiez in the cold / Trying to break a little sweat

While your hynaz at home with your homie up in your bed

You can’t eat, sleep, shit or piss alone

Before you know it / Time passed / Now your kidz are grown

They got kidz of their own you never even met

From a young knucklehead / To a locked down vet

New tat on your chest and it repz ‘Brown Pride'

On a mission for respect but now you see the downside

Wanted to prove that you’re down / But what did it prove

When your hood givez your name to a new recruit???

Now…

Thatz life / Homie / And you lived it too fast

Now you wish you hit the brakez as the dayz start to pass

Thatz life / Everybody turnz the cold shoulderz

Thatz life / Lightz out / Now itz over!!!

(OUTRO)

Thatz life / Homeboy, thatz life

Thatz life / Homeboy, thatz life

Thatz life / Homeboy, that’s life

Thatz life / Lightz out / Now itz over!!!
