The LOX
Livin’ The Life
[Intro: Puff Daddy]
Yeah, the game of life
In this game, it's not whether you win or lose (The life)
But how you played the game
Come on

[Verse 1: Styles P]
Everything involves The Lox
Ask the n***as with the money in the safe and the cats on cell blocks
Car parked in the lot, door is locked
And the only time the phone is blocked when home is hot
I announce the bounce, move like an ounce
Flow more ways than one, y'all n***as count
One Mississippi, you can't get with me
Two Mississippi, you never gon' hit me
Three Mississippi, can't no bitch trick me
Four Mississippi, won't no dog sic me
Five Mississippi, we in Mississippi
Twenty deep on the block, real n***as'll rock with me
Blazing, revving in the black 911
Lox out of sight like Michael Knight and Devon
Living dead, hoes giving head to the feds
Catch him with the calico, light him up in bed

[Chorus: Styles P]
Livin' the life, either you rise or fall (The life)
It's a two-way street, be large or small
Livin' the life, either you die or ball (The life)
It's a two-way street, be rich or poor
Livin' the life, either you rise or fall (The life)
It's a two-way street, be large or small
Livin' the life, either you die or ball (The life)
It's a two-way street, be rich or poor
[Verse 2: Sheek Louch]
My n***as ordered parts for cars like motherfuckin' pizza for years
While you get all yours from Sears
What, n***a? Even my guns be German
Links Cuban
Rugs Persian
Now we can take this another level, papa
And simply bust your piñata, you haza
Lox take blocks
Turn 'em into Fort Knox
Cake wasn't flowin' here
'Til we started going there
What? I ain't hatin' you cause you's a little richer
But you old and I'm young, so that means I think quicker
When the Benz truck I bent up, I bounce with the Lambo-ghin-ah
Pump the Mista, Blackberry Molass-ah
Flossin' with the bad mamacita
My chica be ten cent, job with the government
Tap the fed line, so when they raid, I'll be lovin' it (The life)

[Chorus: Styles P]
Livin' the life, either you rise or fall
It's a two-way street, be large or small (The life)
Livin' the life, either you die or ball
It's a two-way street, be rich or poor (The life)
Livin' the life, either you rise or fall
It's a two-way street, be large or small (The life)
Livin' the life, either you die or ball
It's a two-way street, be rich or poor (The life)
[Verse 3: Jadakiss & P Diddy]
I swear under oath, no bullshit will any Lock take
'Cause we stop drama like anti-lock brakes
High stakes, politic, pies and cakes
Real n***as do dirt, tell lies, then skate
What up, son? What you bullshittin' 'bout now, huh?
Where we from? Don't matter 'cause we gettin' it done
Land Rover, double sun roof, bulletproof
Tanqueray and grapefruit got me urlin' on my boots
Man, please, spit it out, twist the trees
5-40 I fly when I'm dissin' them D's
Deep dish B, sip Dom P. with ease
First two words I ever learned, cock and squeeze
Ain't about that
Tryin' to do without that
Makin' n***as fuck up they budget, time to get they paper route back
L-O-X, three letter word, black mob
With every last member of the team on the job
Whether it be controllin' the street, holdin' the heat
Really don't matter to me long as we eat (The life)

[Chorus: Styles P ]
Livin' the life, either you rise or fall (The life)
It's a two-way street, be large or small
Livin' the life, either you die or ball (The life)
It's a two-way street, be rich or poor
Livin' the life, either you rise or fall (The life)
It's a two-way street, be large or small (The life)
Livin' the life, either you die or ball
It's a two-way street, be rich or poor
Livin' the life (The life)
