Live my life (4x) 
*42 second intro whose speakers are impossible to list individually* 
[killah priest] 
Five brothers they were layin in the lobby 
And one had a shotty 
Greed made em thirsty for money 
So he plot  with his gat cocked 
I need a knot  shit is gettin hot 
The others said  "what could we do? 
It's on you" 
He stared em down as he passed 'em the brew 
"hmm  maybe you see my view 
Follow me upstairs on the eighth floor 
And i will show you the door" 
"the eighth floor, how is that?" 
"that's where my cousin, is slingin crack 
Be grand whatcha y'all niggaz is, puss? 
Y'all seem shook, to have niggaz ambushed" 
One other kid said, "you sound like a savage 
Couple of years ago you spoke mathematics 
I peeped your ways now you carry automatics 
And try to give niggaz traffic" 
Peace... 
*another conversation breaks out* 
[killah priest] 
He stepped on the elevator 
"i see y'all crab niggaz later" 
... 
"call your cousin, and warm him of the setup 
Before the brother gets wet up" 
... 
*gunshot* 
He ran to the pay phone 
Hopin that nobody stayed home 
He tried to dial, the niggaz started bustin 
On the corner while them other niggaz hustlin 
He jetted back to his projects 
*automatic gunfire* 
He heard the sound of a tec 
*automatic gunfire* 
He heard the sound of a tec! 
("oh shit!") 
He heard the sound of a tec! 
*single blast* 
He heard the sound of a tec! 
*automatic gunfire* 
He heard the sound of a tec! 
*automatic gunfire* 
He heard the sound of a tec! 
He heard the sound of a tec! 
*gun blast*

[movie clip] 
In the beginning, we lived as we could 
Friendless wanderers that we were, we cheated and stole 
In order to live 
We knew heat hunger and cold 
And slept under the stars 
Then, as time softened my sorrow 
I began to put to use the skills i had learned in the school of life 
And in my father's house
