Miami Life

(album: Soul On Ice - 1995)

Miami Life, at any price, keep my pockets right
F the po-lice, Miami Life ain't nuthing nice
Miami Life, at any price, keep my pockets right
F the po-lice, Miami Life ain't nuthing nice

I'm launching rockets and SCUDs at Crockett and Tubbs
Full of more Rum than a again despite high
Schooling, I be high refusing to listen to what the PTA say
Eff a four point oh GPA I got a five point oh GTA
Hitting the chop shop, with an ETA of 3 o'clock, so shake the spot
Like Luke and them girls with the Daisy Dukes
'Cause life's a beach and I forever be wearing my bathing suit
Met this Colombian mami, said her daddy trafficked cavi
With government permission, no DEA intervention
Filthy rich and did lines for recreation snorting coke up
But Pinoche's rolling, 'cause I don't know the next ho be the loc'est
You still can't teach me or reach me with history
When the story is his, and who gets to be
The future Pablo Escobar don't need a diploma
Minimum wage the rest I'm living whale like Jonah

Miami Life, at any price, keep my pockets right
F the po-lice, Miami Life ain't nuthing nice
Miami Life, at any price, keep my pockets right
F the po-lice, Miami Life ain't nuthing nice

Walk these streets with more Heat than Alonzo Mourning
Now how many toasters can these smokers keep pawning? (hehe...)
My school days was like Porky's
In class doing the butt, or in the hallway ditching
Teacher's pet snitching, but ain't no Miami Bass like the triple beam
So fool please, I move MC's like OZ's
I want more cheese than Kraft Ravioli
Got love like Chachi and Joni microphone Michael Corleone
Only the homies really know me, but everybody
Want to dip in my Mixelplic
Keeping CoInTelPro sticking it to brothers like Velcro
Fighting felony convictions, a closer shave than Norelco
Well though, stay and lose it, I'm still official
, 'cause I'm on a roll like toilet tissue
, anything less would be uncivilized
At any price (price), Miami Life... (life)
Heh... yeah...

Miami Life, at any price, keep my pockets right
F the po-lice, Miami Life ain't nuthing nice
Miami Life, at any price, keep my pockets right
F the po-lice, Miami Life ain't nuthing nice

Miami Life, at any price, keep my pockets right
F the po-lice, Miami Life ain't nuthing nice
Miami Life, at any price, keep my pockets right
F the po-lice, Miami Life ain't nuthing nice

Accept no Substitute
And I'mma make it known, The Specialist like Stallone
And Sharon Stone watching your spot get blown
You don't even understand, I ain't scared of you motherfuckers
And C. Delores Tucker
What the world needs is less free cheese
More white collar J-O-B's, these ghetto MP's
Stretching fools on the block for crack rock
But powder power brokers is getting over like unprotected sex with Oprah
Float, like a Tournament of Roses parade
Sting, like a bee, but of course
I put my foot so deep in yo ass
The water in my knee will quench your thirst, I got juice freshly squeezed
Words 100 percent bom-Bay, made from more concentration than Minute Maid
Renegade rhyme ride ruckus non-fiction me and my kin
Slipping mickies and putting hickies on your chest
I never been seen like the Loch Ness...
... monster, heh, and now a word from our sponsor
Yeah, and now a word from our sponsor

Miami Life, at any price, keep my pockets right
F the po-lice, Miami Life ain't nuthing nice
Miami Life, at any price, keep my pockets right
F the po-lice, Miami Life ain't nuthing nice

Miami Life, at any price, keep my pockets right
F the po-lice, Miami Life ain't nuthing nice
Miami Life, at any price, keep my pockets right
F the po-lice, Miami Life ain't nuthing nice

Miami life... ain't nuthin nice...
Miami life... F the po-lice...
Miami life...
