Song by Too $hort<br /><br>

[Too $hort]<br>

It's your life, don't be stupid dope..<br>

[P-Funk sample]<br>

cause when you waste it..<br>

It's your life, don't don't be stupid dope..<br>

[P-Funk sample]<br>

cause when you waste it..<br>

<br>

Nowwwwwwwwwwww I come from, the Oakland town<br>

Task force roll and rock, cold cracked down<br>

Young brothers my age makin dollars so long<br>

Drive a brand new Benz with a cellular phone<br>

See his diamonds and gold, call him Big Bank Bob<br>

Got a ring for each finger and he can't get a job<br>

This is not a song I made about crack<br>

It's all about losin what you can't get back<br>

Cause the name of the game is to control yo' life<br>

and all the things you do you must do them right<br>

It's not my life, it's on you baby<br>

What's really goin on is that cash money<br>

How you make it, it doesn't matter to me<br>

Work at MacDonald's or just slang them ki's<br>

or you can be like me and go straight legit<br>

Drive a brand new Benz and they can't say shit<br>

<br>

It's your life, don't be stupid dope..<br>

[P-Funk sample]<br>

cause when you waste it..<br>

It's your life, don't be stupid dope..<br>

[P-Funk sample]<br>

cause when you waste it..<br>

<br>

Partners in your face, ain't even your friend<br>

Probably have to blast him if you see him again<br>

And if you don't blast him you'll get shot in the head<br>

Seven days later you'll be buried and dead<br>

I can't be like that, the only thing you fear<br>

Homeboy you can't see it but you know it's there<br>

It's called tomorrow, whatcha gonna do with that<br>

cut school, sell a few dopefiends crack?<br>

It's not a one-way street, it's more like a dead-end<br>

So if you take it, you better turn back my friend<br>

I know a lot of young brothers don't think things through<br>

They really don't know what they wanna do<br>

When you lag, you lose, you start payin your dues<br>

You can't kick back and let your bankroll stack<br>

You'll be stuck on stupid, for smokin a friend<br>

Ten years from now you'll still be in the pen<br>

<br>

It's your life, don't be stupid dope..<br>

[P-Funk sample]<br>

cause when you waste it..<br>

It's your life, don't be stupid dope..<br>

[P-Funk sample]<br>

cause when you waste it..<br>

<br>

I got my eighteens pumpin, ridin the five<br>

People lookin at me like I stole the ride<br>

Am I a gangster, player, makin them G's<br>

cocaine dealer with the Z's and V's<br>

Can't tell em nothin, so I say, "Whassup?"<br>

They get mad, I don't give a fuck<br>

I keep ridin, sidin, whippin and dippin<br>

Look at all my homeboys trippin<br>

They'll knock you out, one punch like the champ<br>

Goin to jail is like summer camp<br>

We shake hands one day, kill each other the next<br>

And if you don't like it it's just like that<br>

Cause I come from, the city of dope<br>

It couldn't be saved by John the Pope<br>

But since I have the chance, I'll say in the rhyme:<br>

we have to stop the killin sometime (soon)<br>

<br>

It's your life, don't be stupid dope..<br>

[P-Funk sample]<br>

cause when you waste it..<br>

It's your life, don't be stupid dope..<br>

[P-Funk sample]<br>

cause when you waste it..<br>

It's your life, don't be stupid dope..<br>

[P-Funk sample]<br>

cause when you waste it..<br>

It's your life, don't be stupid dope..<br>

[P-Funk sample]<br>

cause when you waste it..<br>
