Pete Rock - Live and Learn lyrics

[Verse 1] n***as love you when you north sendin em flicks Hate you when you home and you chillin' in whips The same ones who say "son I feel your sh**" Be like "f** that n***a he ain't givin me sh**." n***as be sick, literally stress is bad for you Envious sh**s really weak man, is you hearin me? Man up, women need n***as to fulfill their needs Stand up, stop sleepin, live your dreams Only a weak n***a tries to live off strength And when faced with heavy burden, can't take the weight When n***as know your secrets, it's a chance you take And if your man hold it down, that's real, be thankful Real recognize real, that ain't always true It's not a game especially when they play you [Hook] It is what it is, it ain't what it was Fakers keepin it real, haters deeper than love Nothin leaves, nothing you get, what you earn As you reach valleys and peaks, you live and you learn X2 [Verse 2] As you mature, move on, forgive and forget But be aware, some thing you to live to regret They say know your enemy, remember your friend Who against you because he ain't no different from him Especially when you on and he wish you was him, in the position you in That's when resentment begins to manifest how insecure he mentally is A weak n***a, affectin' his potential to win Love is a home Hate is where treachery lives around the corner; from d**h,drama, and felony bids Tomorrows not promised, today is a gift The present determines what your legacy is What you did yesterday you can never relive To pursue it is the question of what your relevance is Recognize the truth, so you better prepare For life's numerous tests or your destined to fail [Hook]
