Jay Electronica - Live It lyrics

[Hook - Yelawolf] I deserve to play, it's been a few days, ain't showed it all I go outside and breathe, roll down my sleeves and have a ball Still got these bills to pay and a family, I'm workin hard But I got a life too, so I throw on my shoes and I live it y'all [Verse 1 - Paul Wall] I'm fresher than a peppermint and cold as a cough When I pull up in that foreign and I break boys off Super ballin is a product of a hard knock life No more Ramen noddles spread, no more struggle and strife From a Buick to a Beamer, ambitions of a dreamer Motivated by Mob Figaz and Andre Nickatina I'm gettin paper while you're in the shade drinkin Zima I'm a schemer, you just waitin on your check from FEMA Been evadin the subpoena to appear in court Different hustle every season like I'm playin a sport "Life is Too $hort, wouldn't you agree?" See, the best time I ever had in my life was free My best friend wasn't real, he came with a fee Reduced time for your sentence come with a plea Livin in the free world and I'm blessed Paper chasin is my quest, I grind with no rest [Hook] [Verse 2 - Raekwon] I'm not an actor, a role model with soul or clapper I work hard, a good gangsta n***a, blow a stack up Time still movin and sh**, stay on the grind, it's just excuses Girls lookin at you, you useless (word?) When everything is wrong, it look like it'll fall I'm on the job feet first with direction and all I like c**a and then gotta come home and stroke her Take time, clean my rims and go loc' her Just wanna lay up, damn I need two minutes to rest, go 'head and take the Lex' out, scram Then it's beef in the jump off, cause I needed one off It's like you drew your gun on me in a gun off sh** won't change, so move with it (move with it) This is my life, I'm only livin it, so don't go and ruin it Words from a legend, keep your dome up in the sky Listen to Paul Wall and Chef Fly (get high) [Hook] [Verse 3 - Jay Electronica] Dear Mr. President, have you seen FEMA? Have you seen the lower 9th Ward, post Katrina? n***as scufflin tryin to find something tangible The impedes is treatin all the youth like animals Then wonder why the cops gettin rocked like Mosley Why n***as on the TV in the spot like cozy Now Houston got a problem, Atlanta got a problem Dallas, Alabama and Miami got a problem n***as wildin out, livin free, yellin sovereign .38 revolvin, crack rock ballin Tats on they face that say Uptown New Orleans Blastin on sight, f** fightin, f** arguin Meanwhile boat loads of cash go to Israel Soldiers in Iraq pray to God for a miracle Sam Cooke said that change was comin If not, you can bet your a**, danger's comin [Hook]
