Chris Athens - Wanted to Live lyrics

[Chorus] And I just wanted to live But it was harder to give When you ain't have it at all My ideas too tall [Chorus] ‘Cause I just wanted to live But it was harder to give When you ain't have it at all My ideas too tall [Verse 1] I could see to the mountaintops from the very bottom I done had n***as eat in front of me when I was starving in the game But, sh**, I had to charge it to the game Breaking even, do you even have a dollar to your name? sh** changed, not really, sh** hot still I still get calls like, “Bro, whatshisname just got k**ed.” One thing that remain about life, it gets real I can't take for granted anything I'm making while I'm here I done heard that I'm crazy a million times Ey, you better stop talking like that, I might believe ya But if you let him get too close, they gon' deceive ya And I need the shine as much as I need a breather Before Monda pa**ed, he told me to spit ether That turned me to a creature He fighting off all my demons I can see it when I wake up and right before I'm sleeping So you, God, and me: the only thing I believe in Straight up
