[Verse 1]
Here I go again, I back out
The drive way on Fridays I blackout
Too many bars I know they only talk about my scars
But I doubt they ever see the pain when riding in these cars
That I'm in the backseat of
15 feet up my ambition they feed up
Somebody gotta keep me leveled headed
Eyes beat up
In middle school for
Everything while I read up
I wonder what my hometown would
Be like without a leader
sh** most of them ain't got
Change for the meter
Tell your home girl I wish I could meet her
But I got a girl at home and I've been working on
Bettering our relation-sh**
It frustrate me when they tell me to
Invest my time into all these hoes
They just hoes
I've seen them on the internet a million times fold
But they're tryin' put me in a blindfold
I'm trying to bring light to em
Light to em... I'm tryin to bring life to em
Why they always giving me advice about ya know.... like my principles and sh** I'm doing like... I like don't Know, f** em'
[Bridge 1]
What's a man without some principles to stand by
A good girl beat the bad b**h by a land slide
They'll never know about your life through a three minute song
So when you gotta tell em leave ya alone
Don't take it wrong
[Chorus]
They always try to f** with me
They always try to f** with me
I'm on the interstate road doing 150
With all the memories that stuck with me
I'm just trying to live life... I'm just trying to live life
Everybody got their 2 cent for me but never do sh** for me
Y'all can keep yo change
[Verse 2]
Coming up from a seed to a grown human bein'
That is a blessin'
An opportunity to make cheese
That's a blessin'
All this hatin' on me that's depressin'
Like damn
What the f** did i do to deserve a brick comin' straight through my window
Somebody riddle me that
Lately been rollin' round literally strapped
Like somebody gonna come around givin' me daps
Pull out the gat blat, blat
Another story cut short man
My homies be like, "What for man?"
sh** hope my funeral more alive than usually
You could feel the energy my soul brang
It's like i get on every track with the soul train
Now a days they don't wanna hear you rap without the gold chain
So i pull out the one my father left for me
And try to give 'em a taste of my story
His last words were
[Bridge 2]
What's a man without some principles to stand by
A good girl beat the bad b**h by a landslide
They never know about your life through a 3 minute song
So when you gotta tell 'em leave ya alone
Don't take it wrong
[Chorus]
[Verse 3]
They probably think my life was a walk in the park
They don't see the pain that i shed for the art
They don't see the long days i was there in the dark
Lights cut off, gas bill too
And that's shut off
I'm sick of takin' cold a** showers
I swear that sh** gets to your core
It's like what the f** are you doin' this for if you ain't got no power
This rap sh** is like a job that got no hours
If you ain't got relevant buzz going all the time
I know some under ground cats gon' hate me because i signed
But its like what should i have done
Let my momma grind forever
I'm just try'na spend time together
Pay the bills when we dine together
Make her pockets so straight that she fine forever
And if y'all can't feel that
Then what the f** are we talkin' for
b**h
What's a man without some principles to stand by
A good girl beat the bad b**h by a landslide
They never know about my life in this 5 minute song
So when you an*lyze leave me alone
And get gone
They always try'na f** with me
But i'll never let 'em f** with me
I'm on the interstate road doin' 150
With all the memories that stuck with me
I'm just try'na live life (live life, word up) (x4)
This for those who got they two cents for me
But don't ever wanna do sh** for me
Y'all can keep yo' change
[Outro]
Quit f**in' callin' my phone
Askin' for favors and sh**
Textin me about how we dont chill no more and sh**
Give me direction, ya know
Sayin' don't forget what you came from
And make sure you f** with me when you're back in town and sh**
Or you never got time for me no more
You different now and sh**
Man, i'm just try'na live life
