[Intro: Kurupt]
Feel so good, living that life
Yeah, this is for the big homies
Giving that game, ya dig? Yo

[Chorus: Ice Cube]
I'm fighting for my life in paradise
All we got in life is a pair of dice
I'm fighting for my life in paradise
All we got in life is a pair of dice

[Verse 1: Ice Cube & Kurupt]
Today was a good day, but it could be better, yeah
It's hard to try to make your heart light as a feather
Everything is hard, everybody's hard
And some kind of way, everybody's scared
Don't pull my card, ain't trying to beef (Nah)
No more grief, I'm just looking for relief
I don't give a damn, if they lying through they teeth (Don't give a damn)
Everybody know, I'm the motherfu*king chief (Everybody)
In my TP, smoking on this leaf, yeah
Or in them floor seats
With my son Shareef (Hey), or with my wife Kim
I'm not like them (No)
Everybody know, I spit them out like phlegm
I play a butter rim, they stuck on the ground
Been trying to bring me down since I put on the crown
Mad cause my frown, it's upside down
And n!ggas still trying to be homie to clowns
I clown their gas and drown their ass
Why they still talking about my past
Telling all my people when I talk to 'em last
Mad cause I'm seeing up under the mask
Game, a portrait of a thousand pictures
Flipping riches in front of a thousand snitches (Right)
Slick back, sliding with a thousand b!tches

[Chorus: Ice Cube]
And I'm fighting for my life in paradise
All we got in life is a pair of dice
I'm fighting for my life in paradise
All we got in life is a pair of dice

[Verse 2: Kurupt]
Yeah, I'm talking to you
Let me break it down in lamest terms, the things you do (Too much)
Drop top, sticking the clutch
Just dipping on my Dane and Danes, living it out
I live life nice, I never think twice (Twice)
I just keep it gangsta in this paradise (Paradise)
In this paradise, shine like ice
Twice as nice
There really ain't too much to say
Besides living your life
And staying out the way
Man, fu*k these b!tches (Right)
And fu*k these snitches
And every single one of these punk ass n!ggas
Six, four, Impala, Scala, or Rottweiler, baller b!tch
Iguodala with dollars up in the islands
Monster Mac, with bosses in the back, off yak
Cock them back and react

[Chorus: Ice Cube]
I'm fighting for my life in paradise
All we got in life is a pair of dice
I'm fighting for my life in paradise
All we got in life is a pair of dice

[Outro]
Alright, I'm gonna shoot these motherfu*kers
You understand? I'm gonna shoot
But I better not drought
That's all I know
Come on, sit with your funky ass
I've been waiting for you all night
