Statik Selektah - Live & Let Live lyrics

[Produced by: Statik Selektah] [Verse 1: Lecrae] Oh yes he love her like Egyptian Grew up thinkin pimpin was his best position 'Til his princess caught him slippin and now his heart is missin First date had him feelin like a kid again Second date got him wishin it would never end Now his boys got him feelin insecure tellin him nah A pimp should be cold as the Netherlands But now he deep in love, can't wait to see his love But he was taught dont trust these chicks 'Matta fact he should just flee this love So he ain't take her, heartbreaker, went back to the hood He smokin on that good good like a playa would Malt liquor, more richer, couple gold diggers He found her picture starts to wonder if theres room in it Feels like its all a movie, and he just played himself He let this false image blemish his soul, enslaved himself But God help him, he's full of these false images That got him scared to love, and got him scared to live Yeuh, can't he just live ya'll? [Hook] I just want to live, and let live I want to live, and let live Love and let love, not die [Verse 2: Lecrae] This world is poison, I call her Ivy And I be Michael Bivins She uses dead men, and makes em feel as if they livin We met when we was kids, i liked the things she did She kept me laced with now-and-latas and some lemonheads When we got older, she got colder, playin hard to get But truth be told it was my heart i had a problem with I'm in my teens and green, but she was even greener And funny how when i was broke, i hardly ever see her But years later we together more consistent But i dont want to love her so i keep her at a distanace It ain't her fault its that im prone to be a slave So before i love the money, i give her all away [Hook] [Verse 3: Lecrae] As a youngin i just wanted to breath easy God had left me on this earth, I pray he never leave me Seen somethings i shouldntve seen, done some stuff i shouldntve did Why it take me 20 years to meet my daddy other kids Should i do what my brother did Maybe i should chuck that deuce to the spiritual truth Pop a bot of grey goose let loose dont nobody want the truth Tell lies when they get up in the booth But i taught that love that peace that God made me for a reason That's why im still breathin I just wanna live But i can't do that without hollerin out JESUS They ain't gon feel me oh well Touché new day yea i think when i rap but i ain't Lupe, I'm Lecrae And i just wanna live but i can't do that if i care what you say my soufflé It's 3 parts God with a whole lotta heart so it go hard Do need bread but i ain't gon love it Tough it up, stuck it and ya end up dead Nuff said [Outro] Ay man if you a slave to somethin, you ain't livin Unless you a slave to God, baby
