Lyrics

I'm a side of suicide Heads or Tails Some think life is living hell Some live life just living well I live life tryna tip the scale My Way, my way My Way, my way Yo, I'm always early I never take off cause I got a job Rob Peter to pay Paul Now I realize it's the winner that takes all Do what I gotta do cause I can't take loss Picture me living life as if I'm some animal That consumes it's own dreams like I'm a cannibal I won't accept failure unless it's mechanical But still the alcohol mixed with the botanical I guess I be referred to the owners manual full of loaners Full of all the homeless throwaways and the stoners Soldiers of the streets with 8th grade diplomas And the world awaiting their shoulders as a bonus Look, let he without sin live without sin Until then, I'll be doing dirty jobs like swamp men Counting the faces of those that might have been It's like living that life but I won't live that life again I'm a side of suicide Heads or Tails Some think life is living hell Some live life just living well I live life tryna tip the scale My Way, my way My Way, my way Lotta niggas go to prison How many come out Malcolm X I know I'm not shit Can't even talk about the rest Famous last words You under arrest Will I get popped tonight It's anybody's guess I guess a nigga need to stay cunning I guess when the cops coming need to start running I wont make the same mistakes From my last run in You either done doing crime now or you done in I got a brother on the run and one in Wrote me a letter he said when you comin Shit man I thought the goal's to stay out Back against the wall Then shoot your way out Getting money's a style that never plays out Till you in a box And your stash money's paid out The scales of justice Ain't equally weighed out Only two ways out Digging tunnels or digging graves out I'm a side of suicide Heads or Tails Some think life is living hell Some live life just living well I live life tryna tip the scale My Way, my way My Way, my way I'm a side of suicide Heads or Tails Some think life is living hell Some live life just living well I live life tryna tip the scale My Way, my way My Way, my way
