Life's A Bitch Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Em]Ayo,[G][C][Em]
what's up, what's up?
Let's keep it real, son,
count this money
You know what I'm sayin'? Yeah, yeah
[G]Ayo, put the Gra[D]nts over the[Em]re in the safe
You know what I'm sayin'?
'Cause we spendin'
these Jacksons
The Washingtons [G]go to wifey,
you [D]know how that go
[Em]I'm sayin' that's what this is all about,
right?
Clothes, bankrolls, and hoes
You know [D]what I'm sayin'?
[Em]Yo, then what, man, [D]what[Em]?

[Verse 2]
Visualizin' the realism of [C]life in actu[Em]ality
Fuck who's the baddest,
a person's status depends on salary
And my mental[G]ity is money-
orient[D]ated
I'm destined [Em]to live the dream for all my
[D]peeps who never [Em]made it
'Cause yeah, we were beginners in
[G]the hood [Em]as Five Percenters
But somethin' must've got in us, 'cause
[D]all of us turned to [Em]sin ners
Now some restin' in peace and some
are [C]sittin' in San [D]Quentin
[Em]Oth ers, such as myself,
are tryin' to [D]carry on tra[Em]dition

[Verse 3]
Keepin' this Schweppervescent street
[C]ghetto essence in[D]side us
'Cause [Em]it provides us with the proper
insight to guide us
Even though we [G]know, somehow
we all gotta [Em]go
But as long as we leavin' thievin'
We'll be leavin' with some kind of dough
So, until that day we expire
[G]and turn to [Em]vapors
Me and my capers will be some[D]where
stackin' [Em]plenty papers
Keepin' it [G]real, packin' [C]steel,
gettin' [D]high
'Cause [Em]life's a bitch
and then [G]you [Em]die

[Verse 4]
Life's a bitch and then you [G]die,
that's [D]why we get high
[Em]'Cause you never know when
you're gonna go
Life's a bitch and then you [G]die,
that's [D]why we puff [Em]lye
'Cause you never know when
you're gonna go
Life's a bitch and then you [C]die,
that's [D]why we get high
[Em]'Cause you never know when
you're gonna go
Life's a bitch and then you [C]die,
that's [Em]why we puff lye

[Verse 5]
I woke [Em]up early on my born day; I'm
20, it's a [D]blessin'
The es[Em]sence of adolescence leaves my body,
now I'm fresh and
My physical [G]frame is celebrated
'cause I [D]made it
One [Em]quarter through life, some
godly- like thing created
Got rhymes 365 days annual,
plus some
Load up the mic and bust one,
[D]cuss while I pus [Em]from
My skull, 'cause it's pain in my brain vein,
[D]money main[Em]tain
Don't go against the grain,
simple and plain

[Verse 6]
When I [Em]was young at this,
I used to do my thing hard
Robbin' foreigners, take they wallets,
they jewels and rip they green cards
Dipped to the [G]projects,
flashin' my quick [D]cash
And got my [Em]first piece of ass,
smokin' blunts with hash
Now it's all about [G]cash in abundance
[Em]Nig gas I used to run with is rich or doin'
years in the hundreds

[Verse 7]
[Em]I switched my motto; instead of [G]sayin',
"Fuck to[D]morrow!"
That [Em]buck that bought a bottle
could've struck the lotto
Once I stood on the block,
loose [G]cracks produce [Em]stacks
I cooked up and cut small pieces
to get my loot back
Time is illmatic, keep static
like [D]wool fabric
[Em]Pack a 4- matic to crack

[Verse 8]
your whole cabbage
[Em]Life's a bitch and then you [C]die,
that's [Em]why we get high
'Cause you never know when
you're gonna go
Life's a bitch and then you [C]die,
that's [Em]why we puff lye
'Cause you never know when
you're gonna go
Life's a bitch and then you [G]die,
that's [Em]why we get high
'Cause you never know [G]when
you're gonna [Em]go
Life's a bitch and then you [G]die,
[Em]that's why we puff lye
'Cause you never know when
you're gonna go
Life's a bitch and then you [G]die[Em]
