Livefromthecity - Stay Awake 2 lyrics

(Verse1) It really don't take much to get your attention But I get it your young, you really ain't stressing on finding the one But you worry about finding somebody so you end up settling for anyone Baby you know I'm not just anybody, the lord of the city, the king of the jungle, need I remind you its King Legion from the east side throwing peace signs, gang signs too Spreading love out to east side so I can be the guy we unify through Where the cash at is where you find us, if you come wrong we will find you Can't eat with us, can't chief with us, as a matter of fact who invited you No competition in sight, my n***as gone ride and the soldiers gone fight And I'm on a mission to get it so there's gone be times that your lonely at night But you ain't help me build the house, why should I let you sleep in it Id rather starve and remain real then to let these false prophets ? Can't create when I'm sobered up so I'm sipping lean cus' I need a vision Need motivation, need inspiration, if you know me well then you seen the difference Inspired by a fast life while I'm walking streets that are crime ridden Straight facts not a lie in them this is non fiction n***as thought that a lil pain was gonna stop me from going back in You ain't know that I was shooting free throws tryna work on my back spin Now I'm taking more shots then ever like Rashard Lewis from behind the line Still scoring like MJ when its crunch time right at his prime Please don't get out of line, ill have sh** looking like columbine Blunt looking like a middle finger, drink looking like calamine So profound with the nouns and the verbs, the word play is what grasps my mind Illustrating my story lines, I snatch hearts like valentines Please don't play with the force cus' its real souls in the balance man n***as talking reckless, please don't make me make a weapon out my talents man I been saying that the last thing we need out here is more violence man You ain't even got to thank me girl, ill do anything to see you smile again (Hook) Riding round windows down music loud we don't give a f** Its been a long journey but its all worth it n***a we ain't giving up A lot of yah been in it too long and you need to give it up You only get one chance at life you need to live it up (Verse2) Livin' in poverty should probably keep a weapon on me Because a lot of these hating n***as checking for me They flipping packs, I'm spitting raps, and they respect me for it Giving hope to ? the subject of my ghetto story Ain't no hesitation, gotta make it, go and get it, I ain't faking, this the life I chose to live, I can't fake it Present day perspective sh** is hectic I can't take it Came from nothing had to make a way, yah just make it up Just know that sh**s real from up top to Swissvale n***as taking shots cus' they can't out-box me like sent mail They can't tell what emotions I'm feeling because my face is always stoic ain't no way they can seal it Because inside I struggle trying not to break down from the pressure My world is on my shoulders I'm tryna keep it together, with the family I don't talk to, friends I rarely connect with, ill drop the mic in a second and all yah n***as is left with Is the voice recordings of a fallen angel You made a god of money, tell me if them dollars save you Yah so ungrateful, don't even walk the road I paved you They say promise when you make it don't ever forget what made you They say promise when you make it don't ever forget what made you (Hook) Riding round windows down music loud we don't give a f** Its been a long journey but its all worth it n***a we ain't giving up A lot of yah been in it too long and you need to give it up You only get one chance at life you need to live it up
