Living A Lie
Cam'ron feat. Mo' Money Lyrics

THEM NIGGAZ ACTORS (ACTORS)
They are not telling the truth and are putting on an act

THEY DESERVE OSCARS (OSCARS)
Their acting is so convincing that they should win an award for it

WE PULL CHOPPERS (CHOPPERS)
We have weapons and are ready for battle

TO WAR WITH THE COPPERS (COPPERS)
We are willing to fight against the police

DOG...THEM NIGGAZ LIVING A LIE, LIE, LIE, LIE
These people are not telling the truth and are living their lives based on this falsehood

DIPSET STAY FLY.....AND? AND?!?!?!?!
We are always looking good and fashionable, what's the problem?

Let's get the riot on, acting like I'm lying huh?
I'm ready to start a fight because people don't believe I'm telling the truth

Five years probation, possession of a firearm (that's New York)
I had to serve probation for 5 years due to carrying a gun

Did the county, bologna like it was "Ground Round" (that's Texas)
I served time in prison and the food was of low quality

Zeke ran an ecstacy ring, he on the countdown (North Carolina)
Zeke was involved in selling ecstasy and is facing legal consequences

Seran down the V, coke in the whip...he bought the Chaper (Chicago)
We transported drugs and bought a car with the profits

Notorious secrets? Nah with secret indictments
We don't keep secrets from each other, but we are indicted secretly

Jim indicted but Kelina from P.C could fight it (uptown Rucker)
Jim was indicted, but Kelina can fight his case from prison

Up in the peach, yeah the weed atleast he could light it (then what?)
We smoked weed and enjoyed ourselves

THEN ZEKE SHOT (SHOT), THEN E KILLED (DAMN), THEN be POPPED (DAMN), THEN ME ROCKED (WHAT?)
There were violent incidents involving Zeke, E, B, and me

Yeah, but we shooting back I'm pulling out the 4-5th
We are not afraid to fight back and use our guns

If I ain't get 'em yet, believe they name is on the short list
If I haven't gotten revenge yet, they will be next on my list

Yeah, nigga's nauseous, I'll show you just what nauseous is
People are becoming sick from our actions, and I will show them what that really looks like

We surround fortresses, studios and offices
We are not afraid to confront people in all kinds of settings

You should be cautious kiiiiid....
You should be careful and watch your back

'fore the boss of this off ya lid, R.I.P. right where the portrait is
If you cross us, you will end up dead and your picture will be where we put it

DADADOOOO!....that means drop it and run it
The sound means to drop what you have and run away

No fronting cause the coppers is coming.....like
We aren't lying because the police are on their way

Before they shot they had to violate me (pffft)
Before they could shoot someone, they had to wrong me

Back in New York, my P.O gon' violate me (WHAT?)
My probation officer is going to accuse me of violating the terms of my probation

Said "why you acting purish Nixon?", she said "you had no permission"
My probation officer asked me why I left the state, and I didn't have permission to do so

To go to D.C...you know that's out the juristiction (on my business!)
I went to D.C, which was outside of the area I'm allowed to travel to

Ma I gotta eat...I don't know your religion
I need to make a living, regardless of your 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 deal with the complaining

Plus some cousins in college, add on more tuition (education)
I have family members in college, and I need to pay for their tuition

Said she got me on tape, flipping a quarter chicken (not me!)
Someone claimed to have a video of me doing something I didn't do

Nah...that Persian white, murder type fur was right (about $20,000)
I didn't do what they accused me of; I was just wearing an expensive fur coat

Huh, you heard the price, on my neck....hurds of ice!
My jewelry is very expensive and flashy

Vertebrae snapped, gats...huh, I swerve 'em right
I avoid bullets by dodging them

DIPSET! Bitch yes, peep our urban life
We live an exciting and glamorous urban lifestyle

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

They leave...U-turn...customers we serve 'em right!
After the police leave, we continue selling drugs to our customers

I'm proving this, you losing this, there's nothing you could do with this
I'm winning and there's nothing you can do to change that

I'm disturbing the peace, right?....just call me Ludacris (Luda!)
I'm making a lot of noise and causing chaos, just like Ludacris

Screw a chick....go outside and give the coupe a kiss!
I don't care about women; I prefer my car

Can't pop fly, I get my socks tied
I have to be careful and prepared for anything that might happen

I'm being watched by...News 1, Fox 5
I am so famous that I'm being followed by news channels

CNN, NBC, CBS....creep in my home
Other news channels are trying to secretly capture footage of me in my home

Magazines, paparazzi....please leave me alone
I am so tired of being famous and just want some privacy

I VV'd the stones, dog I'm into cake
I spent a lot of money on my jewelry, which shows that I'm successful

I sell records but my real job...interstates ("I" WHATEVER!)
I may be a rapper, but really I make money selling drugs on the highways

I'm a winner, fish in my crib....I got a winter lake!
I'm successful and even have my own indoor lake with fish

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

But I'll be bouncing right near you on a mountain bike! (a hood near you)
I'll be going around on a mountain bike close by your neighborhood

That's where I hound ya wife, she see the four pounds of ice
I'll be trying to seduce your wife and impress her with my expensive jewelry

But the four pounder right...BANG that's the sound of life!
But when I use my four-pound gun, it's life or death

THEY LYING DOG! All my nigga's locked up....
They are lying, all of my friends are in prison

Zeke on the countdown...Sheek come home tomorrow..
Zeke is about to get in trouble with the law, but Sheek is getting released from prison tomorrow

My Uncle Ted, he doing 10.....Uncle Stevie doing another 12....
My uncles are both serving long prison sentences

He shot police on 125th on the Westside..
One of my friends shot a police officer on the west side of Manhattan

WHAT UP ALI!....Tiny Bum...he coming home, he in the feds....
I'm greeting my friends Ali and Tiny Bum, who is about to be released from federal prison

Doe Stack doing 2 in the feds..
My friend Doe Stack is serving a two-year sentence in federal prison

Just did 3 house arrest...
One of my friends just finished serving three months of house arrest

When Black came out, after he did his year...
One of my friends named Black was released from prison after serving a year

Mel Murder did his year...
Another one of my friends named Mel Murder was released from prison after serving a year

SNAGZ! HE COMING HOME!
