Good Life
2Pac (Featuring Big Syk) Lyrics

I was so money orientated, initiated as a thug
I was fixated on making money and had embraced a thug's way of life

Fiendin' for wicked adventures, ambitious as I was
I was always looking for dangerous and exciting experiences, driven by my ambition

Picture a nigga on the verge of livin' insane
Imagine a man teetering on the brink of losing his mind

I sold my soul for a chance to kick it and bang
I sacrificed my morals for an opportunity to hang out and engage in criminal activity

Now tell if I'm wrong
Now, ask yourself if I am incorrect in my beliefs or actions

But sayin' "Fuck the world" got you deeper in my songs
Despite its negativity, the phrase 'Fuck the world' continues to feature prominently in my music

Drinkin' 'til I earl, spendin' money 'til it's gone
I excessively drink until I vomit and spend money frivolously

It's the good life, maybe niggas got it goin' on
This is the good life, perhaps other people have it figured out

Now maybe if I died, and came back, wouldn't have to slang crack
Perhaps if I died and was reincarnated, I wouldn't have to sell drugs

Addicted to the game, so obviously we came strapped
We are addicted to the lifestyle of criminal activity and we carry weapons as a result

Please forgive me for my wicked ways, fuck a bitch
I ask for forgiveness for my immoral behavior, and I do not care about women

Bad Boy niggas eat a dick a day, bumpin' this
I listen to this song as I revel in the thought of rival gang members being insulted

Lord have mercy it's a slaughter
God, please have mercy, there is a terrible loss of life happening

So wicked that my tracks are wetting niggas like it's water
My music is so cruel and violent that it is making people shudder with fear

I learned my lessons as a thug in these wicked ass hood fights
I have gained experience through participating in violent street fights as a thug

But I'm a baller now, nigga, I live the good life
Now I have made it big and enjoy a luxurious lifestyle

God bless the dumb niggas that, trust the hoes
May God bless the foolish men who place their faith in untrustworthy women

Found a way to stack money guaranteed to rise
We have discovered a method to accumulate wealth with a guaranteed increase in value

And live the good life, 'cause thug niggas don't die
We enjoy our luxurious existence because we are tough and are not easily beaten by the hardships of life

See, we live the good life, fuck my foes
We are living an extravagant life while simultaneously showing disdain for our enemies

No one knows what the future holds for you
No one can predict what will happen to you in the future

They say reach in yo' heart and you'll find your mind
It is believed that if you search inside your heart, you will find your true thoughts and feelings

Every day in the streets, got my foresight blind
I am constantly surrounded by danger, which hinders my ability to plan for the future

My after time is narrow, peepin' down the barrel of a foe
I do not have much time left, and I am staring down the gun barrel of an enemy

Just a nigga or a killer I don't know so
I am unsure if I am just an ordinary person or if I have become a murderer

Who makes the call will I fall a victim like the rest?
Who decides my fate? Will I suffer the same consequences as others before me?

Slug in the chest, one in the dome and make sure I'm gone
Shoot me in the chest and in the head to make sure I die

Send me home all alone in these cold streets
Leave me to die alone in these unforgiving streets

In desperation constantly drinking and I can't sleep
I am struggling and desperate, and I am using alcohol to cope but it is not helping me rest

Neck deep strugglin' tryin' to survive
I am fighting to stay alive despite overwhelming difficulties

Some wanna die I wanna stay alive, eyes on the prize
Some people have given up and want to die, but I still have hope and am focused on achieving my goals

Let me modify this whole region
Let me change and improve this entire area

I declare this sucker duckin' season, give me the reason
I am declaring it is time to eliminate weak people, and I am asking for justification for their existence

Why I should change, into a softie
Why should I change into a more sensitive and less aggressive type of person?

After livin' so loftily
After enjoying a luxurious and indulgent existence

It cost me my soul out of control in a devil's world
The price I paid for this lifestyle was the loss of my soul, and I feel like my life is controlled by evil forces

Me, my niggas, and my girl, livin' the good life!
My friends, my girlfriend, and I are living the high life!

I spend my days and nights not knowin' if, strays in flight
I spend all my time scared, not knowing if stray bullets will come flying through the air

Gon' finally catch me, it's the good life, can you hear me?
If I keep living this way, one day I will be caught, but for now, I am enjoying the good life. Can you hear me?

Clearly over the edge, soon as I wake up
I am a risk-taker, and it comes through as soon as I wake up in the morning

Last night we off the hook, doin' way too much
Last night, I was out of control, engaging in excessive behavior

But it's the fast lane only, big dealin' big ceilin'
I only know how to live life in the fast lane, making major deals and spending big

All for the money, some kill some squeal
Everything I do is to make money, even if it means killing or snitching on others

All for the money, most ain't even real
Many people who are doing these things for money are not even genuine or true to themselves

But we still call 'em homies, now what the fuck is that?
Even though some of these people are not real, we still refer to them as our friends, and that doesn't make any sense

Fake love, fake thugs are, all in the game
Fake love and phony tough guys are all part of this lifestyle

I watch 'em all plot and fall while we come up and gain
I observe others making plans and then failing while my own group continues to climb higher

Outlaw never surrender is the call when you hear us comin'
When you hear us coming, remember that we are outlaws who will never give up or surrender

Bitch nigga get to runnin' 'fore my click get to gunnin'
Weak men better start running before my group pulls out their guns and starts shooting
