My Lifestyle
Fat Joe Lyrics

Ya'll wanna live my lifestyle
You envy my way of life

Never seen a brick, never seen a crackhouse
You have never dealt with drugs or seen people doing drugs

Wanna a war with the Don have your techs out
You want to challenge me, so you bring your guns

Bring it on, and I'm a show you gangsta
If you come at me, I will prove to you that I am a real gangster

Yo, yo, I stand alone in this cold world, could you believe that?
I am living in a harsh world all by myself

I've seen some good men get blown over G-packs
I have witnessed some good men die because of drug-related crimes

In the Bronx where it's known to hear the heat clap
The Bronx is notorious for gun violence

And live niggaz get it on with the D-techs
People living here resort to fighting with the police

Shit, my life's legendary
My life is remarkable and well-known

If I wrote it all down in a book it would be very scary
If I were to write a book about my life, it would be terrifying

What you know 16 BM'ers and Benzes
I own 16 BMWs and Benzes

Rope chains down to my dick, the beef looks tremendous
I wear large gold rope chains and look impressive

Me and my niggaz flip holes in bitches
My friends and I used to be promiscuous with women

Back then, when I wouldn't even pose for bitches
I was too cool to even take pictures with women

A-YO, you can ask Dapper Dan, who was the man?
You can ask fashion designer Dapper Dan who was popular back then

Back in 88, every other week tricked 30 grand
In 1988, I would make 30 thousand dollars every other week

Even my bitches wore Gucci and Louie
Even my female partners wore expensive designer brands like Gucci and Louis Vuitton

My peeps already in the crowd lookin' for groupies to screw me
My friends were already searching for women to have sexual relationships with at concerts

See me in that new thing with my fiancee
You can see me in a new expensive car with my life partner

Ass so fat, makin' you say, "Muchos Grande"
My partner has a curvy bottom, making people say "Very big" in Spanish

Don't blame me, blame them, the white folk
I am not responsible for my wealth, blame it on the white people who gave me opportunities

For givin' me ten mil, for possessin' the tight flow, whoa
I received a large sum of money for my amazing rapping skills

Blow half your head off, leave you with brain damage
I can shoot half of your head off and leave you with a serious injury

He got his shit rocked 'cause he didn't pay homage
Someone got beaten up because they didn't show respect to me

It's the Don of this rap shit, go on with that wack shit
I am the leader of the rap industry, don't try to compete with me with your terrible work

Heard you walked the dorm in a thong on your last bid
I heard that you were parading around in a thong while you were incarcerated

Joey Crack is, the most official
I am the most honest and legitimate person to know

Toke the pistol for those who oppose the issue
I will carry a gun to those who disagree with me

I hope I convinced you to back up, really you acted up
I hope I convinced you to retreat because you acted inappropriately

Believe me I could easily get your ass touched
Believe me, I could harm you without any difficulty

And that sucks, ain't nobody fuckin' with this
It's unfortunate, but nobody can compete with me

Bullet shook could make you take a bucket of piss
My gun is so strong that it could scare you enough to make you urinate

For runnin' your lips, got the fifth stuck in your ribs
If you keep talking too much, you will get shot in the chest

Don't make me splash your lungs right in front of your kids
Don't force me to shoot you in front of your children

I'm a basket case, don't ever give this bastard space
I am mentally unstable, and you should never give me any freedom

Or I'ma have your ass erased, I'm from the Bronx amongst corrupt cops
If you don't do what I say, I will harm you. I am from the Bronx, where the police are corrupt

We mothered this rap shit but still don't get enough props
We started the rap industry but still don't get enough recognition

All I hear is 'Gangsta', you ain't built like that
All people say about me is 'gangsta', but you are not built like me

Don't make me have to pull a tool and really tilt your cap
Don't force me to use my gun and hurt you

I'm from crills to crack, you've been dealin' with rap
I am familiar with both drugs and rap, while you only experienced rap

You ain't never run the streets, now I'm revealin' your act
You never carried out illegal activities, and now I'm exposing you

What the fuck?
What is wrong with you?
