I am addicted to the life, yes I'm addicted to it,
I don't know what happened to me
I was my mama's only boy, supposed to bring her joy,
but I don't know what happened to me
I am addicted to the joy, yes I'm addicted to it,
I don't know what happened to me
I was my papa's favorite boy,
I don't know what happened to me
I was on the street nights,
and I had that crack up on me
I was on the block nights,
yeah I had that scrap up on me
First they turned they backs on me,
then they tried to gang up on me
But I got that pent up on me,
tell them boys to back up on me
trying to get a backup all me day
And the life of the ghetto,
that's how the ghetto ride
I am addicted to the life,
I was my mama's only boy,
supposed to bring her joy
I am addicted to the dough,
I don't know what happened to me
I was my papa's favorite boy,
Damn, what happened to me
I didn't listen when women died
You seem like trouble walking to me
Why you keep talking to me
You don't know me, you don't know me,
You know what I'm addicted to
The streets is my addiction,
That's probably why these chicken
heads can't get my affection
these rappers can't get my infection
let me write you a prescription
Your flow's sickenin' when
My flow's beastin' from the
Catch me out salty where our
mornings are your evenings
evil, cause he put me in position
Listen, listen, listen, listen, listen
I am addicted to the life,
I was my mama's only boy,
supposed to bring the joy
I am addicted to the dough,
I don't know what happened to me
I was my papa's favorite boy, don't want to be like him,
