No such thing as a life that's better than yours, No such thing as a life that's better than yours, No such thing as a life that's better than yours, No such thing, no such thing.
Heart beatin' fast, let a nigga know that he alive. Fake niggas mad, snakes, Snakes in the grass let a nigga know that he arrived. Don't be sleepin' on your level, ‘cause it's beauty in the struggle, nigga! Goes for all y'all. It's beauty in the struggle, nigga. Let me explain, yeah. It's beauty in the struggle, ugliness in the success, Hear my words or listen to my signal of distress, I grew up in the city and though, some times we had less Compared to some of my niggas down the block, man, we were blessed. And life can't be no fairytale, no once upon a time, But I be goddamned if a nigga don't be tryin', So tell me, mama, please, why you be drinkin' all the time? Does all the pain he brought you still linger in your mind? ‘Cause pain still lingers on mine, On the road to riches, listen, this is what you'll find, The good news is, nigga, you came a long way, The bad news is, nigga, you went the wrong way. Think bein' broke was better.
No such thing as a life that's better than yours, No such thing as a life that's better than yours, No such thing as a life that's better than yours, No such thing, no such thing.
For what's money without happiness? К чему нужны деньги, если нет счастья? Or hard times without the people you love? Или трудные времена, когда рядом нет любимых? Though I'm not sure what's 'bout to happen next, I asked for strength from the Lord up above. ‘Cause I've been strong so far, But I can feel my grip loosenin', Quick, do something before you lose it for good, Get it back and use it for good, And touch the people how you did like before, I'm tired of livin' with demons, ‘cause they always invitin' more. Think bein' broke was better, Now I don't mean that phrase with no disrespect To all my niggas out there livin' in debt, Cashin' minimal checks, Turn on the TV, see a nigga Rolex, And fantasize about a life with no stress. I mean this shit sincerely, And that's a nigga, who was once in your shoes, Livin' with nothing to lose, I hope one day you hear me. Always gon' be a bigger house somewhere, but, nigga, feel me, Long as the people in that mothafucka love you dearly. Always gon' be a whip that's better than the one you got, Always gon' be some clothes that's fresher than the ones you rock, Always gon' be a bitch that's badder out there on the tours, But you ain't never gon' be happy till you love yours.
No such thing as a life that's better than yours, No such thing as a life that's better than yours, No such thing as a life that's better than yours, No such thing, no such thing.
Heart beatin' fast, let a nigga know that he alive. Fake niggas mad, snakes, Snakes in the grass let a nigga know that he arrived.
