[00:00.00]Intro: Pete Rock
[00:02.60]Uh, check it
[00:06.11]InI in the house, y'all
[00:08.62]Soul brother number one
[00:12.38]The life I live
[00:14.64]Rob-O, Ras, Grap Luva, and Marco Polo
[00:18.91]Yeah, hit 'em off the verse, one time
[00:22.67]Verse 1: Grap Luva (Rob-O)
[00:22.92]Yo, my display of attributes in a tight situation
[00:26.20]Is like squeezing grapes for the drunken sensation
[00:28.95](But these grapes got the taste of wrath)
[00:30.71]On behalf of my staff I blaze a trail and set a path of forward motion
[00:34.22]Cause a commotion and diminish competition
[00:36.98]School the shorties cause the "I" be on a mission, steady dismissing
[00:40.24]Nonsense and weak foes who kick fuckery flows and stay afloat in the water
[00:44.50]I simply oughta seize your whole manslaughter attitude
[00:47.52]Cause niggas like you ain't really rude
[00:49.43]I'm never pulling punches, delivery is revelation
[00:52.43]Hear the I out, find out what you're facing
[00:55.20]Never displacing is the way brothers be living
[00:57.45]But what's the true elements of what I'm giving?
[01:00.22]Delivering the full coverage of how I'm living in the years of the nine
[01:03.97]My style and my life is defined
[01:05.78]Scratched hook
[01:09.30]Damn right I like the life I live
[01:25.18]Verse 2: Ras G
[01:25.42]The very first African man born into a system that's torn into pieces
[01:29.68]Not running through the feces but every day I feel that the love keeps decreasing
[01:33.70]So I bring the love vibe to make it all coincide
[01:36.71]I love His Imperial Majesty and it's a tragedy
[01:39.97]I've seen your whole strategy is weaker
[01:41.98]Your style's been blown like the speaker
[01:43.99]While I'm an old school new school rhyme fool with no tool
[01:47.26]Packing the mic and keeping my cool like the water in the pool, quite refreshing
[01:51.78]Won't settle for less in this rap game, I'm far from lame
[01:55.04]While others fiend for fame I remain the same
[01:57.56]Staying laced for the future that's faced my lord
[01:59.84]We're InI, all together on one accord
[02:02.59]Yo, the clique that manifests with much rapport
[02:05.10]With much love to give within the life I live
[02:07.38]Scratched hook
[02:09.89]Damn right I like the life I live
[02:27.94]Verse 3: Rob-O
[02:28.69]Birth time, see my first rhyme in 2-0-7
[02:31.46]1-9-7-1, September 11th
[02:34.23]To the twelfth is when he blessed my peoples with wealth
[02:36.48]First born son arrived chilling in good health
[02:38.99]Couldn't imagine the praise when I came out the poon-poon
[02:42.25]My mama's womb was a nigga's only room
[02:44.50]Now I got the whole world to express myself
[02:46.84]Stretch myself, relax and plus rest myself
[02:49.34]With impossible props to pull
[02:51.63]Check it, steadily avoid all the obstacles
[02:53.89]And negativity, y'all faggots stressin' me
[02:56.15]Take advantage to get the best of me
[02:57.66]Sweating in hopes of getting next to me
[02:59.67]It won't happen, see I came to rock the spots
[03:02.43]Serving the facts I got, on these urban black blocks of America
[03:06.21]From four square miles New York is scarier
[03:08.21]With strength dominates the inferior
[03:10.47]And I'm out
[03:12.03]Hook(Until fade out)
[03:14.29]Damn right I like the life I live
