Mobb Deep
Lifetime
[Intro: Prodigy]
Sometimes I ask myself
Why the fuck we still doin' this shit?
For the love?
For the dough?
For these hoes?
For the life?
Yeah, uh

[Verse 1: Prodigy]
Death'll cometh, purgatory punish
Dumb muthafuckas and grimy ass bitches, yeah
Flex on me, I'm paying you a visit, yeah
I come through there with horrible intentions
My rifle get lit, it's a terrible weapon
There ain't nothin' when I shit
Gon' clean up the messin'
All because I'm a gold decorated veteran
Platinum and precious stones, my necklace
Still on parole, still pop a n***a quick
She feelin' me? I'll pop a n***a bitch, uh
King-sized ego, they hatin' on me for
All I do is shine, baby, shine writin' these dope
King Size B-R'S and you a little beeyotch
Kick you in your muthafuckin' head 2 or 3 times
You'll be aight, baby boy cryin' for mommy
You wasn't really 'bout that life
[Chorus: Prodigy]
They be actin' like they know somethin' they don't really know
Man, I spend all my days, my nights locked up in the studio
Feel like a lifetime, I'm-I'm-I'm
Spillin' my lifetime, I-I-I
You not in yo right mind, uh-uh-uh (Yeah)
You n***as tryna take me for a joke?

[Verse 2: Havoc]
Skin tone dark skin, camo hoodie, Timbs on
Full on type of shit that rip a n***a grill off
Live by the code, sleep with an iron
One eye open, hope a n***a try it
Accumalated riches raised out of sweatbox
Now I'm countin' bread, transfer money off of a desktop
Top lawyer so the jury came back deadlocked
Snitch down, all he saw was fire when the lead popped
Permanently on bed rest
Shorty talkin' marriage, she ain't even give me head yet
Dead wrong n***as, not a bit of conscious in us
Said, "fuck the world," went ahead and just did us
Did us, never look back, it's survival
Up and ready, never let these little n***as try you
One slip'll have a n***a headed to a grave
Pine box, timeslot took the fuckin' way
[Chorus: Prodigy]
They be actin' like they know somethin' they don't really know
Man, I spend all my days, my nights locked up in the studio
Feel like a lifetime, I'm-I'm-I'm
Spillin' my lifetime, I-I-I
You not in yo right mind, uh-uh-uh
You n***as tryna take me for a joke?
