[Chorus]
This is how I’m living, how I’m living
How I’m living, how I’m living
How I’m living, how I’m living
It ain’t nothing like you’ve seen on BET
How I’m living
How I’m living, how I’m living
How I’m living, how I’m living
It ain’t nothing like you’ve seen on BET
[Verse 1]
Where I’m from, it’s a couple things that you won’t see
You ain’t gon’ see no Maybachs or no Bentleys
And you ain’t finna see no cribs worth a half a million
But there’s a couple things, n***a, that you will see
n***as riding around with choppers on the front seat
And n***as posted in the dope hole trying to eat
And the police riding back to back, six deep
‘Cause what you see and what I see is two different things
I see n***as riding Chevys, a lot of c**aine
And where I’m from, n***as don’t drink Cris, mane
n***as drink yak, crackers drink champagne
And when you n***as get rich, it’s funny how sh** change
With that $200 for that Cris, I can get into the game
And cop me some of that hard or some of that white thing
If you’ve been in the hood, then how I’m living, why concern about you?
Now that you got a little money, n***a, you’ve been flipped this sh** for crackers
[Chorus]
This is how I’m living, how I’m living
How I’m living, how I’m living
How I’m living, how I’m living
It ain’t nothing like you’ve seen on BET
How I’m living
How I’m living, how I’m living
How I’m living, how I’m living
It ain’t nothing like you’ve seen on BET
[Verse 2]
And in the hood, we want you impressed by 9:11
‘Cause every day in the hood is f**ing 9/11
When 9/11 happened, it was just a couple k**ers
You’d find more k**ers around this b**h sitting in trucks, n***a
These boys like Bin Laden, but behind tint, n***a
The only difference is Bin Laden just gon’ send them
A true k**er will get you himself, last I remember
A plane got to hit the World Trade a couple of more times
To catch up with all of these motherf**ers around here dying
And God, I want you to stop me if you think I’m lying
I bet there’s 10,000 open cases right now
And y’all depicted a couple off a thousand cases
Me and your motherf**ing family need to trade places
So you can look around the hood and see all the sad faces
As soon as a n***a get k**ed, you hollering “drug related”
I know you can hear it in my voice, you can tell I’m hot, too
I feel the same way you feel, cracker, f** you
A lot of men died in two days, but it don’t make the news
A little white girl come up missing, it’s all over the news
And you would give a b**h a million for a couple crews
I bet you need my people, cracker, before we need you
[Chorus]
This is how I’m living, how I’m living
How I’m living, how I’m living
How I’m living, how I’m living
It ain’t nothing like you’ve seen on BET
How I’m living
How I’m living, how I’m living
How I’m living, how I’m living
It ain’t nothing like you’ve seen on BET
[Outro]
The same sh** happening everywhere around the world, dog
Your motherf**ing hood ain’t no harder than mine
And my hood ain’t no harder than yours
Fort Myers, dog, AKA Pakistan
You already know what we call it
Duval, Tallaha**ee, Gainesville, West Palm
Lauderdale, Dade County, Tampa, St. Pete
Clearwater, Orlando, Polk County, Mims, Titusville
And all surrounding areas in between, dog
This how we living in Florida, n***a
Please believe it, baby
Florida, I told you I got you, my n***a
And when them motherf**ers put me on how I’m living
I’ll take you in my hood, n***a, ’cause that’s how I’m living
