[Intro: Havoc & Styles P]

Yeah!

What up, son?

Havoc, what up nigga, good lookin' for the beat

I'ma talk shit over this one

Told you I got you my nigga

But um, I want you to let these niggas know why you in that top 5

This is my livin', nigga

Why you that nigga

It feel good in here

Yeah!

[Verse 1: Styles P & Jadakiss]

Second time around I'mma let the magic shoot

This time, it's off the Havoc flute yeah

I'm a general and criminal, y'all fags salute

I'm in the streets while y'all sweet like a bag of fruit

And I stick to my Timbalands like I'm Maganoo

Ya man lookin' like he want it, he can have it too

Tryna tell these muthafuckas they should do as do does

I been smoking haze just as green as Gazoo was

Sorta like the city of Gods

We be screamin out "we gon' make it" but I pity the odds

I'm like knock out Ned when I pop out led

But I even been around to pass Biggie cigars

So I smoked wit a legend

If you took the oath then the ghost is ya bredrin

Blowin smoke in the seven

Or maybe it's the hooptie in these pisshole slums

Just tryna kick my piece off of Kicko's drums

Ya know

[Chorus: Jadakiss & Styles P]

This is how we live

Smoking, drinking, hustling, thinking

This is how we live

Drug spots, projects, Jail cell stinking

This is how we live

Whole block run when they see cop lights blinking

This is how we live

Benjamins, grants, Washingtons, Lincolns

[Verse 2: Styles P & Jadakiss]

Die once, you live twice, die twice, you live once

Get the shit confused so I'm puffin on the big blunts

Kick it wit' the kid that be deep in the zone

It's the ghost, I got to go to sleep just to get home

I'm spiritually outta this world

Meet my lyrics on the darkside come back when the dutchie get twirled

I'm the alpha and omega of nice

I'm the messenger sent by the force at the head of the light

But Satan's ridin my back in the dead of the night

I be doin some crazy shit for some bread and some ice

God I'm tryna focus with my third eye lens

I smoke haze to see my brother when he blow that wind

And I'm a grown man so I know my sins

And niggas don't get the picture so do Kodak win?

The shit's over their head and under their nose

Not a star cause I'm a sun when it come to a flow

Ya Know

[Chorus: Jadakiss & Styles P]

This is how we live

Smoking, drinking, hustling, thinking

This is how we live

Drug spots, projects, Jail cell stinking

This is how we live

Whole block run when they see cop lights blinking

This is how we live

Benjamins, grants, Washingtons, Lincolns

[Verse 3: Styles P & Jadakiss]

I'm a rare individual

Represent my team till they put in me in the earth no air in my physical

I don't need to dream I live another life when I sleep it's so deep I'mma

Spare you the visual

Far from religious but my heir's name is biblical

Stay away from crabs, they don't care cause they miserable

School lil niggas

You could buy diamonds but I could play wit words that's a jewel lil nigga

Tongue sharp like a sword

I could get ya fam killed just off my word, that's the proper Art of War

Stay wit the Parker and the Porsche

I don't trust a soul cause niggas threw rocks up at the Lord

The cash ain't right there, the mask is right there

Niggas try P, I'ma blast 'em right there

You don't want ya right ear next to ya Nike Airs

Said I'm from the darkside bringin the light here

Wha!

[Outro: Jadakiss & Styles P]

This is how we live

Wha! You know, niggas

Second time around, you know what time it is

This is how we live

It's all lyrics over here, nigga

Feel me, nigga!

This is how we live

And I'm in the hood for real, all day, all night, shit like that

This is how we live

Yo, Hav, once again, good lookin' out for the beat, nigga

This is how we live

SP the Ghost, ONE!

This is how we live
