[Em]
[D][Em]

[Verse 1]
[Em]Hi life
We livin' that [D]hi [Em]life[D]
[Em]Hi l[Bm]ife (Hi life)[G]
[Em]We livin' that hi li[D]fe

[Verse 2]
[D]
I'm tired of livin' [Em]fucked up,
Tired of livin' bad,
Tired of hearin' grand mama tellin' me,
"When you gon' [D]go to church, Chad?"
I'm [Em]tryin' [D]to live up to the image
that she would want to see,
But I got much foot in the street,
and every week I flip a ki.
I never [Em]wanted to be a G,
but niggas depend on me
It ain't safe to hit I-10,
[D]so niggas fear with me
An[Em]d all the [D]niggas that I
went to school with,
Shot pool with, went to the pool with
Out there sellin' that white [Em]shit
Pushin' cocaine,
niggas whole existence
Dependent on the game
What ya want me to [D]do, it's like
somebody cut my throat
[G]Got[D] 20,000 dollars tryin'
to turn it into a hundred,
And ain't nobody got no [Em]dough
So, niggas tend to smoke,
bad habits do exist
And this bitch [D]thinkin' she can ease
my mind by [Em]suckin' my [D]dick
Bitch maybe fo' a minute,
[G]but tha[D]t shit never las[Em]ts
It's 1996, nig[D]gas is dyin'
from layin' on some [Em]ass
First Magic Johnson got it,
then Eazy-E died
died
And you be wonderin' [D]why young
[Em]niggas out there smokin' [D]fry
I wish that I could tell y'all I
[G]wore a [D]rubber everytime
But, if I told you that, nigga,
you know that I be [Em]lyin'
And I been fuckin' pussy since
the tender age of nine.
It's gettin' to be a full-time job
job just tryin' to stay [D]alive
And crackers tend to smirk,
[G]offen[D]ded by the weed smoke comin' off my shirt
But, still I put in [Em]work and
front for my folks
'Cause where I come from, nigga,
family just ain't no [D]joke
Now, D be [Em]gettin' [D]married,
and Edgar on the boat
[G]But wha[D]t about baby Doe
Some say that nigga's sellin' dope
And you know I ain't [Em]lyin',
that's just how families talk
But, what you gon' do when the
devil poke you wit' his fork?
And everybody [D]sittin' in
the pulpit ain't saved
[Em]Most preachers just false prophets,
fuckin' hoes and gittin' paid
[D]I'm lookin' for that

[Verse 3]
[Em]Hi l[D]ife (hi life)[Em]
We livin' that [D]hi life [Em](Hey)
Hi life, [D]hi [Em]life (Hi life)
We livin' that [D]hi life
[G][D]

[Verse 4]
You only got [Em]one life to live
That's all they [Am]give us [D]to do [Em]it
You can bullshit your way through it,
Or stay true, it
Can be com[D]plicated 'cause niggas
be gettin' shot [Em]in the [D]cross
People and names get lost,
the people in the lane get tossed
Streets 'll [Em]eat yo ass alive
Take your positions with pistols,
bare hands, and knives,
[D]And nob[Em]ody's surprised if some
[D]body don't survive the dust
To see this only treacherous
How we was left to be down these
streets that we [Em]be on
Muthafucka's sleepin' on them
[Bm]corner[Em]s that you pee on
Probably 'cause society [D]felt
they [G]didn't [D]belong
Now who in the fuck made
[Em]it this [D]way for us?
Got all these little niggas
sellin' that yay
Because it [Em]ain't like they make
high levels gain-able
And And that quote "peace of American
pie" just ain't attainable
So, [D]how can I sustain a full
life be[Em]fore [D]death
Man, I'm left out here to make
it by my goddamn self
Now come on, [Em]who gives a damn
[Am]When you [Em]can't afford
the turkey or ham?
Livin' off [D]of Ramen noodles,
beef jerky, [Em]and [D]Spam
Now that's sad, but that's a [Em]fact of [D]life
All I can see in front of me is up for grabs
Come off [Em]your slab
'Cause poverty will push
a nigga over [Bm]the b[Em]rink,
Over the edge,
[D]es pecially if you don't know your [G]ledge
[D]And, so instead of being without
[G]I'm hus[D]tlin' tryin' to git
through these ungodly days
Thinkin' of ways to get
the [Em]fuck out of this maze
A man will commit a crime
'cause the fuckin' crime pays
I'm [Em]goin' through a phase
you don't [D]grow out
Until you a reason a [Em]motherfucker
gots to pour out
His 40 on the curb,
dis[D]turbed and left with [Em]no doubt in his mind,
But still sometimes he don't know why
He walkin' [D]around just hopin'
He get [Em]one m[D]ore try to make it
It's bullshit he's goin' through
but yo he gots to take it,
You can't fake it, to get the [Em]hi life

[Verse 5]
[D]Hi [Em]life (Hi life)
We livin' that [D]hi life (Hey)
Hi life, [Em]hi life (Hi life)
We livin' that [D]hi life [Em](Hi life)

[Verse 6]
[Em]Hi life
We livin' that [D]hi [Em]life[D]
[Em]Hi life (Hi life)
We livin' that [D]hi life [Em](Hi life)
Hi life
We livin' that [D]hi life
