Dom Kennedy - How I Live lyrics

[Hook: Terrace Martin] I'm the realest n***a here, n***a Take a picture while I'm here n***a Throw that money in the air n***a Atelier's all I wear n***a You can smell a n***a winning And you can see a n***a livin' [Verse 1: Terrace Martin] Toast, from day one we came a long way I'm in it for the long haul, I take no breaks You never see me sweat because I'm always Focused on stacking, gamble takin' chances Tryna be bigger than what my mama imagined Smashing through the jungles, see the homies was brackin' Yup, but on the other side my environment same sirens same riders I redefine what dope is don't believe the hype Spraying and ringing they weak these n***as is jiving All lies, we wine and dine You n***as out of your element go and tell 'em Dom [Hook: DOM KENNEDY] I'm the realest n***a here, n***a Take a picture while I'm here n***a Throw that money in the air n***a Platinum Chanel is all I wear n***a You can smell a n***a winnin' You can tell a n***a livin' [Verse 2: DOM KENNEDY] They talk it I did it They lost it I get it Tell them little n***as be cautious I'm with it Porches I'm with it, the horses come with it Sixteen bars the choruses come with it Married to the game but divorces come with it Jealousy, envy of course it come with it Sittin' right with it, n***a gettin' nice with it That's my old sh** I was just being light with it I'm buying all these girls drinks for the night with it I can't take her with me I ain't bein' tight with it Third row in Vegas see me at the fight with it So exit Crenshaw and make that f**in' right with it [Hook: Punch] I'm the realest n***a here, n***a Take a picture don't be scared n***a Throw that money in the air n***a You in the presence of a rare n***a And don't be mad a n***a winnin' When you see a n***a livin' [Verse 3: Punch] Don Corleone chromosomes Sierra Leone diamonds I call them blood stones No conflicts when I got 'em on Oblivious to n***as I'm in my own zone Lost in the sea of monotony It's all the same I understand it's psychology The rearview mirror is always clearer Than the windshield, there ain't no future in the past You lookin' back still Whether good or bad it happened and it's over And that's real Time moves forward get off the treadmill I overstand you understand still [Hook: Terrace Martin] I'm the realest n***a here, n***a Take a picture while I'm here n***a Throw that money in the air n***a Platinum Chanel is all I wear n***a And don't be mad a n***a winnin' And you can see a n***a livin'
