  Live my life (4X)
  
  [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
