25 Ta Life lyrics

It was a hot summer day<b> </b>I was dyin from the heat <br />
Walkin up 118th street <br />
Although I'm hot like stew <br />
In the back of my mind it was a bottle of brew <br />
Now a ice cold bottle would just quench my thirst <br />
Or get some boom from the dread<b> </b>which ever one comes first <br />
Now is it brew? (yeah) or is it boom? (yeah) <br />
So I lit up the boom and now may I presume? (yeah) <br />
Now about 3 o'clock I had to meet my crew <br />
I looked at my watch and then I noticed it was half past 2 <br />
I saw these two honeys walkin down the avenue <br />
And one of them said: all I think about is havin you <br />
Now in my mind I realized I coulda took her, coulda took her <br />
But Nice is not the one to treat the ladies like a hooker <br />
Don't mean to diss, but it's not on my list <br />
So I gave her a kiss and said: ehm, good-bye, miss <br />
From the streets I heard a horn beep <br />
There was a crew 4 deep in a dark blue jeep <br />
I heard em speak, he said: my ride is fat <br />
So why you're sweatin D-Nice, baby, he ain't all that <br />
Now first things first, why all the rude behaviour <br />
You shoulda been taught how to respect this flavor <br />
He jumped out the jeep like yo, what up chief <br />
But I don't eat pork, so I guess he wanted beef <br />
I realized I was on my own <br />
I didn't proceed to make a move until a blow was thrown <br />
He swung but missed, I caught him with a fist <br />
Although I wish it didn't have to come to this <br />
I started breakin him down with the speed, had him astounded <br />
The right caught his jaw and it sounded <br />
Like boom boom bap boom bam <br />
He had no idea that D was nice with his hands <br />
He stepped back, so I thought he was through <br />
But right about now up steps his crew <br />
We all threw down and went round for round <br />
I'm givin it all I had to give until I fell face down <br />
<br />
They proceeded to stomp but in all of the madness <br />
Somehow someway I was damn sure glad this <br />
Person slid me a pistol from behind <br />
Not the weasel, pop-pop-pop goes the 9 <br />
So if you're wonderin why you ain't heard word of them <br />
I (murder them murder them) <br />
But since I pulled the trigger I guess I have to pay the price <br />
Pushin 25 to life
