[Intro: Nas & Lyfe Jennings]
It must be nice
Damn right it's nice
Wish you could get in my shoes, baby (Hmm, hmm)
It's crazy, man
A thug love letter for your foes
A thug love letter
Aha

[Verse 1: Nas]
A thug love letter written in mimosas for ink
Pen wobbles on paper, Hypnotiq the chaser
I spit the escape for prisoners of paper
Couples in trouble, good people with bad nature
Temptations, me and the queen a better team
Than Kareem and Worthy, in that new SL early
Me and Ms. Purty, happy, live through me (Yeah)
Vicariously, I made it safe for gangstas to marry (Hmm, yeah)
Lyfe

[Verse 2: Lyfe Jennings]
Must be nice
Havin' someone who understands the life you live
Must be nice
Havin' someone who's slow to take and quick to give
Must be nice
Havin' someone who sticks around when the rough times get thick
Someone whose smile is bright enough to make the projects feel like a mansion
Must be nice
Havin' someone who loves you despite your faults, oh no
Must be nice
Havin' someone who talks the talk, but also walks the walk
Must be nice
Havin' someone who understands that a thug has feelin's too
Someone who loves you for sho'
You just remember to never let 'em go, ohh
[Chorus: Lyfe Jennings]
'Cause even when your hustlin' days are gone (Even when, oh)
She'll be by your side still holdin' on (She'll be by your side)
And even when those 20's stop spinnin' (Yeah)
And all those gold-diggin' women disappear (Woo)
She'll still be here

[Verse 3: Lyfe Jennings]
Must be nice
Havin' someone you can come home to from a long day of work, yeah
Must be nice
Havin' someone you don't have to show, they know exactly where it hurts
Must be nice
Havin' someone who trusts you despite what they've heard
Someone as mighty as a lion, but still as gentle as a bluebird
Must be nice
Havin' someone you don't have to tell you don't want to be alone, no, no
Must be nice
Havin' someone you can grow old with until God calls y'all home
Must be nice
Havin' someone who understands that a thug has feelin's too
Someone who loves you for sho'
You never let 'em go, 'cause oh, woah, when

[Chorus: Lyfe Jennings & Nas]
'Cause even when your hustlin' days are gone (And they will, they will, they will)
She'll be by your side still holdin' on (Woo)
And even when those 20's stop spinnin' (And they will stop one day)
And all those gold-diggin' women disappear (And all those goldin' women will disappear, yeah)
She'll still be here (Yeah, check, check, yo)
[Verse 4: Nas]
My man just came home, talkin' that "I'ma get rich" stuff
He ain't stitched up, bein' he was sent up
Inside a maximum prison, he laughin' and grinnin'
On the streets again, relaxin' with women
Asked if I've been in the Oscar awards, have I driven the most popular cars
Sitting in Maybachs with stars, "What's happening, Nas?"
I say, "I stay grounded, my paper, don't count it
Just notice I'm glowin', just watch and keep growin'"

[Chorus: Lyfe Jennings & Nas]
'Cause even when your hustlin' days are gone (Even when your hustlin' days, ven when your hustlin' days)
She'll be by your side still holdin' on (Holdin' on, holdin' on, holdin' on, Lyfe, congratulations on the new baby boy)
And even when those 20's stop spinnin'
And all those gold-diggin' women disappear
She'll still be here (Haha, yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah)
'Cause even when your hustlin' days are gone
She'll be by your side still holdin' on
And even when those 20's stop spinnin'
And all those gold-diggin' women disappear
She'll still be here
