Nick Jones & Dat Boy Chu – Life I Chose (feat. D-Wattz)
Chorus: D-Wattz
So with my soldiers by my side
I hit the bottle and I pass the fire
It’s too late for me
I know it’s the life I chose
Another rapper lying dead tonight
People shaking heads passing by
They don’t feel sorry for me
I know it’s the life I chose (repeat)
Verse One: Nick Jones
I live life without regretting how I live it
I fully understand the consequences of decisions
I chose my path, I ain’t seeking no sympathy
The straight and narrow just wasn’t the life that was meant for me
I’m destined for something greater than working nine to five
Living check by check, barely struggling to survive
So I walk on the wild side, live life to the fullest
And hope it doesn’t end with the exchange of the bullets
But even if it did, what the fuck would it matter
In the end, it’s just another tragic death of a rapper
People’s heads may shake, nigga, but life goes on
And the world’ll keep turning long after I’m gone
But while I’m still here, y’all gonna feel my pain
I stay posted with soldiers and steady smoking on flame
That’s the life that I lead, I wouldn’t change it if I could
I’m doing it my way, like everybody should
Chorus: D-Wattz
So with my soldiers by my side
I hit the bottle and I pass the fire
It’s too late for me
I know it’s the life I chose
Another rapper lying dead tonight
People shaking heads passing by
They don’t feel sorry for me
I know it’s the life I chose
Verse Two: D-Wattz
It’s hard living life in the public eye
No one to trust and no where to run and hide
When you’ve got heat like 210 in the summertime
Gun shots start sounding like a lullaby
That’s it, no goodbyes, no report to file
I’m going to ride, street justice in the tone at night
The chrome-icide, yo we bring it, soldier, don’t deny
M7 Movement, revolution, truth bonafide
So if the nature of it takes its course
If the shit gets thick, still I won’t endorse
Any hip hop corpse, but if my hand’s forced
I’m going addendum, send ’em knocking on heaven’s doors
They say the lord has a plan for us
But fuck that cause I wasn’t forced to write the chorus
So who knows, either way now they can’t ignore us
Guns getting cocked back and they aiming for us
Chorus: D-Wattz
So with my soldiers by my side
I hit the bottle and I pass the fire
It’s too late for me
I know it’s the life I chose
Another rapper lying dead tonight
People shaking heads passing by
They don’t feel sorry for me
I know it’s the life I chose
Verse Three: Dat Boy Chu
I ride with my soldiers (soldiers)
By my side, let me hit the blunt once more time
I didn’t choose this lifestyle, it chose me
It’s dat boy named Chu, when I speak, listen closely
I don’t want to be here if I don’t gotta
But I’m here because I gotta be a father to my daughter
It’s getting so hard to hold on, I feel I’m loosing it
I don’t talk to just be doing it
I talk because I’ve been through this shit
Matter of fact, this is the truest shit I ever wrote
So y’all listening to the truest shit I ever spoke
So sit back and take notes, as I take tokes
Off the marijuana smoke, I’m just trying to cope
Nope, I don’t need no help my nigga
Nope, cause I can do it myself my nigga
Uh, so don’t feel sorry for me
I’m a gangsta because I chose to be
Chorus: D-Wattz
So with my soldiers by my side
I hit the bottle and I pass the fire
It’s too late for me
I know it’s the life I chose
Another rapper lying dead tonight
People shaking heads passing by
They don’t feel sorry for me
I know it’s the life I chose (repeat)
