Living A Lie
Cam'ron (ShadyBlock.Com) Lyrics

Them niggas actors (actors)
Those individuals are fake and putting on a performance

They deserve Oscars (Oscars)
Their acting skills are so good that they should be recognized with an Oscar award

We pull choppers (choppers)
We bring out big guns to go to war

To war with the coppers (coppers)
We are ready to fight against the police

Dog them niggas living a lie, lie, lie, lie
Those guys are living a fake and dishonest life

Dipset stay fly and? and?
The Dipset crew always looks good and stylish

Let's get the riot on, acting like I'm lying huh?
We should start a riot and not act like I'm lying

Five years probation, possession of a firearm (that's new york)
I had five years of probation for holding a gun in New York

Did the county, bologna like it was "ground round" (that's Texas)
I went to jail and the food served was low-quality like in Texas jails

Zeke ran an ecstasy ring, he on the countdown (North Carolina)
Zeke was caught running an ecstasy drug ring and waiting to be sentenced in North Carolina

Seran down the v, coke in the whip he bought the cheaper (Chicago)
He has filled the car with drugs, buying cheaper cocaine in Chicago

Notorious secrets? nah with secret indictments
There are no famous secrets or scandals - with sealed indictments

Jim indicted but Kellina from p.c could fight it (uptown rucker)
Jim was accused and charged with a crime, but Kellina has a chance to plead innocence in court

Up in the peach, yeah the weed at least he could light it (then what?)
We smoked weed in the car, at least Zeke was able to light it

Then zeke shot (shot)
Zeke pulled out his gun and fired

Then e killed (damn)
E killed someone

Then b popped (damn)
B was caught by the police

Then me rocked (what?)
I continued to perform and succeed

Yeah, but we shooting back I'm pulling out the 4-5th
We are fighting back and I am grabbing my 45 gun

If I ain't get 'em yet, believe they name is on the short list
If I haven't attacked them yet, their name is on the list of people to go after

Yeah, niggas nauseous, I'll show you just what nauseous is
The guys feel sick, and I will demonstrate what it means to feel nauseous

We surround fortresses, studios and offices
We gather around important buildings and places of work for our opponents

You should be cautious kid
You should be careful and watch out

'fore the boss of this off ya lid, r.i.p. right where the portrait is
If you don't be careful, we will take you down and leave you dead where a portrait is hanging

Dadado! that means drop it and run it
Dadado is a command to quickly drop and leave an object behind

No fronting 'cause the coppers is coming like
I am not lying because the police are coming soon

Dadado! that's when we popping some bottles
Dadado is also a time to celebrate and open some bottles

With some models on our hip is some hollows (dipset!)
We are hanging out with beautiful women and guns

Before they shot they had to violate me (pft)
Before they shot me, they had to provoke and mistreat me

Back in new york, my p.o gon' violate me (what?)
My probation officer in New York will likely accuse me of another violation

Said "why you acting purish nixon?", she said "you had no permission"
My probation officer questioned me for leaving the city without permission

To go to d.c you know that's out the jurisdiction (on my business!)
I went out of her jurisdiction and to Washington, D.C. on my own business

Ma I gotta eat I don't know your religion
I have to feed myself and don't care about my officer's religious beliefs

I got child support, I can't adore the bitching (i can't take it)
I have to pay child support and can't afford to deal with annoying complaints

Plus some cousins in college, add on more tuition (education)
I also have to help my cousins with their college tuition fees

Said she got me on tape, flipping a quarter chicken (not me!)
She claims to have evidence of me selling drugs, which I deny

Nah that Persian white, murder type fur was right (about twenty thousand dollars)
In reality, she was talking about an expensive Persian fur coat

Huh, you heard the price, on my neck hurds of ice!
My necklace has a lot of valuable diamonds

Vertebrae snapped, gats huh, I swerve 'em right
My gun has a recoil and I have to adjust my aim to hit the target

Dipset! bitch yes, peep our urban life
Dipset is awesome, look at our cool and fashionable lifestyle

Like lighting herb tonight, cops come adjourn the site
We are smoking marijuana, but we have to quickly leave when the police show up

They leave you-turn customers we serve 'em right!
The police will have to let our buyers make a U-turn and we will keep selling drugs

So what ya life like?
Tell me how your life is going

Mine type nice like come off the white ice,
My life is enjoyable because of my lucrative business selling cocaine

You bum ass night fights! killa!
You can't handle me, I am the best fighter

Ayo I'm proving this, you losing this,
I am winning this argument and you are losing

There's nothing you could do with this
You cannot beat me or my argument

I'm disturbing the peace, right? just call me ludacris (luda!)
I am causing trouble and chaos, like the rapper Ludacris

I don't care who exist, the exorcist moving bricks
I don't care who my competition is, I am selling drugs efficiently

Screw a chick .go outside and give the coupe a kiss!
I don't care about women, I am going to kiss my fancy car

Can't pop fly, I get my socks tied
I need to take care of small details like tying my socks before I can do anything else

I'm being watched by news 1, fox 5
The media is keeping tabs on me, they know what I am doing

CNN, NBC, CBS creep in my home
Even the biggest news networks are interested in me and what I'm doing at home.

Magazines, paparazzi .please leave me alone
Journalists and photographers should stop bothering me

Yeah I vv'd the stones, dog I'm into cake
I own a lot of expensive jewelry and make a lot of money

I sell records but my real job interstates ("I" whatever!)
I may be known for my music, but my real job is selling drugs across state lines

I been an ape, diamonds in the dinner plate
I have been a savage and put diamonds in my food plate to show off

I'm a winner, fish in my crib I got a winter lake!
I am always victorious and have an indoor lake full of fish for the winter

And the fountain right, nope I won't pronounce the price (nope!)
I have a fancy fountain but I won't say how much it costs

But I'll be bouncing right near you on a mountain bike! (a hood near you)
I will show up near your home riding a mountain bike

That's where I hound ya wife, she see the four pounds of ice
I will go after your wife and show off my valuable jewelry

But the four pounder right bang that's the sound of life!
But my gun has more power and that is the sound of the true meaning of life

They lying dog! all my nigga's locked up
They are lying to make us look bad, while all of my friends are in jail

Zeke on the countdown sheek come home tomorrow
Zeke is waiting to be sentenced, while Sheek will be released from prison soon

My uncle ted, he doing 10 uncle stevie doing another 12
My uncles are spending a long time in jail

He shot police on 125th on the westside
One of my uncles shot a police officer in Harlem

What up ali! .tiny bum he coming home, he in the feds
My friend Tiny is being released from federal prison soon

Doe stack doing 2 in the feds
Another friend, Doe Stack, has two more years left in his federal prison sentence

Just did 3 house arrest
Another friend has recently completed three months of house arrest

When black came out, after he did his year
When my friend Black was released from jail after one year

Mel murder did his year
Another friend, Mel Murder, also completed one year in jail

Snagz! he coming home!
One of my friends, Snagz, is being released from jail soon
