Life At Risk lyrics

[Verse 1: Violent J]
Wakin' up to the little baby crying
Mom's yellin' 'cause pop's got his fists flyin'
It's 9 in the morning and he's drunk
One day I feel that I'm gonna shoot that punk
My b*tch layin' next to me in the bed
I honestly don't give a f*ck if the ho is dead
The only honor in my life is my rag
Without it zip me up in a body bag
Grab my brother's gun, load the .44
Take the money-back bottles and head to the store
In my neighborhood your life is a dare
'Cause there's factories pumpin' out black air
And I'm breathin' this sh*t everyday
Livin' crazy 'cause I'm dyin' anyway
I see this tramp hangin' under the bridge
I tell her go home and watch her kids
You listen to them cry and sob
Take your sorry ass and find a motherf*ckin' job
See my homies hangin' at the liquor store
40s and the cash, dice rollin' on the floor
They say my friends'll never be any good
But the President wouldn't have been sh*t
If he was raised in my neighborhood
My friends say the same old sh*t
The Southwest side (G ,'nippid tiuQ) have a hit on me
I guess everyone seen it
When I slammed Johnny's head into the cement
It started all this crazy sh*t
And now we never set out without a loaded clip
And we headed up to the dunk rim
Little boys on the court, so we punked them out
And I'm thinkin' of my brother
When he was pushed off the court he wanted to kill them f*ckers
Now I'm standin' in the bad guy's shoes
Payin' my dues
And I don't have nowhere to be
Just another street hood in the inner city
And a man is gonna ask for some change
Give him a dollar so he can go and fry his brains
f*ck no, I push him out the way
'Cause that sad motherf*cker got sh*t to say
My homie was known for the mackin'
Now they got him doing 10 on car jackin'
And I'm thinkin' that I'm next to go
What the f*ck I'm already livin' Death Row
So many out there want me dead
Everybody wants to put a bullet in my head
But I don't give a f*ck if I die today
Everyone alive is gonna die anyway
What the f*ck is life about
Come home late and daddy blow your mouth out
That's in the past now, I ain't soft
Daddy hits me today and I'm going to blow his f*ckin' head off
For now the bullets close but miss
Livin' my life at a risk
Interlude: John Kickjazz
You know J, man you're right
Too many motherf*ckers out there are fake
People need to understand
That if you get hit enough times
Then you start hittin' back
All we are is pawns on the game board
And if this is the way everybody's playin' it
So be it, motherf*ckers
Count us in
But the ICP is playin' for keeps

[Sample]
Mackin' is a game and everybody's playin'
Are you the one getting played like a sucker?
Mackin' is a game and everybody's playin'
Are you the one getting played like a sucker?
Mackin' is a game and everybody's playin'
Are you the one getting played like a sucker?
Mackin' is a game and everybody's playin'
Are you the one getting played like a sucker?

[Outro: Violent J]
I think I liked it better when I was a kid
