The only reason I can't say it's a perfect album is cause they left this jewel off

I've said it a bunch but this is one of best / most slept on albums of that whole era, now that I'm I always think back at how spoiled we were with quality music

To this day, I don’t know why he took it off the album. Might be because Half-A-Mil used the same vocal sample hook for his 'Make It Hot" a couple years before this one.

But this was on the advance they had out for the album, so most of us thought it was going to be on there. Really dope track.

Life Story (the title track) is one of my favorite songs of all time.

"hatred in my heart, but inside i love you"

That last verse is

Home from Elmira, got a little brighter
I'ma keep it real, still a schemer and conniver
Recognize the struggle, living like a thug do
Hatred in my heart, but inside I love you
See, no matter what I'll extend my arms to hug you
Knowing that I'm just like you, I'm like your double
All I wanna know is how you pound me down
Yo, this shyt is real, you really jerked me around
But anyway, I'm getting paid with Puff now
'Bout to cop you a house I can send you some stuff now
So many levels jail take you
I appreciate jail 'cause it made me appreciate you
I've been through fire and brimstone
Used to be diplomas in jail, now I cop the gemstone
I remembered when you rushed me
The time you said you should of flushed me
I forgive you, ma, trust me
