Jay Rock - Lifestyle lyrics

[Intro] Aye............This thing on?? Yeah, what's going on y'all?? Once again.........Soul! Just want to give you a piece of how I'm living [Hook] Lets talk about my lifestyle, I'm broke but almost famous how can I explain this? I'm so close but yet so far, they say I'mma a star but that ain't quite my lifestlye I'm broke but almost famous how should I explain this? I'm so low thats why I get high, and that ain't a lie, it's just my lifestyle [Verse 1:Ab-soul] Fresh off the L.A.X tour no pay, no per diem, no shutting down stores Hype manning for Jay Rock yeah it was fun of course, but the set was too short To perform one of my songs, I reaped a few benefits and met some important people That if people see you with they gonna' want to meet you We torn down stages, got groupie love, got high, stupid drunk, even scuffled in the club I made it back in one piece thank the man above Hadn't come to grips with n***as thinking I'm a blood It's over when your neighborhood is full of crips Luckily for me they shoes tied and n***as never trip Scrapped up enough change to pay my phone bill I got a past due balance but it's owed still That's the sh** I write about I swear I'm so real [Hook] [Verse 2:Jay Rock] Chyeah, Soul! Roll us a swisher up, lets get high My mind right, im focused now I know the trials, and tribulations I ran wild, threw on an apron Dishing birds out, imagine a boston market in a nickerson gardens You ever seen a blood bargain? Got fed and saw them Feds often I never sleep you do that in coffins Now, I can recall being down to my last straw Thirsty for a burglar gun in my draws Now I step on stage, people applaud That alone should show you hard work pays off My daughter is my world thats a blessing from god And even when she cries I see myself in her eyes For her I got to provide, till my demise, sh** even if I died I'd probably come back to life Nothings gonna stop me [Hook] [Verse 3:Ab-soul] The homie hit me said he seen me on B.E.T Like whats the deal with that?? You getting big homie, I use that type of sh** as motovation Which is important as a lawyers opening statement If I bet a dollar bill my flow is worth a fortune Would that mean I was cheap or that I can't support it Some people see me as an icon, half of them show me They got me in their iPod(good looking.........yeah) But still my stories more relateable cause real is relative As you and yo' momma's kids An no I ain't as big as drake, but I'm capable An I may not smoke an ounce but an eigth will do An I promise you're safe where I'm taking you On a journey through a day in my shoes Where everybody thinks you're some kind of celebrity But you can't even take your girl out for some food Many would argue that i made a lot of wrong moves But i stand behind myself like a shadow, when I'm in A certain position under the moon, just think it all Started from a text battle What up D.Cash my n***a novik to, snake hollywood I got it my n***a, swear to god I'm a phrophet like Elijah my n***a And ain't nothing gonna stop it my n***a [Hook]
