"That's How I'm Livin'" is a song performed by American recording artist Ice-T. It was released as the second single from the rapper's fifth studio album Home Invasion. The song was produced by Tracy "Ice-T" Marrow, Shafiq "SLJ" Husayn and Alphonso "DJ Aladdin" Henderson, and released via Rhyme $yndicate Records on September 21, 1993 in the United States,[1] and on December 16, 1993 in the United Kingdom.[2] The single peaked at number 21 in the UK, and later was included in the rapper's greatest hits album Greatest Hits: The Evidence.

A music video was released for the clean version of the single. This showed a group of children watching from behind a screen as Ice-T is brought in by police. A brief clip of the book Pimp: the story of my life by Iceberg Slim is shown when the line "I was intrigued by the pimp game" is uttered.
