Hardknock
(Verse) Just got word from my mans on the island He said he needed guidance Niggas on the streets is wildin' He look to God but can't find him So he demand silence from the glare signs The sympathy symphony Only thing plain is the mad violence No lyin' niggas just won't let go the iron They wanna burn ya molecules until you let go ions Sleep beef like they let go lions So don't eye em' they get the wrong message Wrong methods put you on that long stretcher Too much pressure God bless ya when the semi wet'cha They told me boy dress up I'm givin' too many lectures And I'm puttin' in too many effort in my nouns and verbs Like they gon' catch up fuck what you must heard But I done puffed enough herb To be listenin' to young birds and dumb nerds I got enough shit on my mind So I don't need to be stressin' and shine, Define. (Chorus) One day I'm tryna have a wife and kids So I just can't live my life like this And I ain't tryna learn what lifeless is SongtexteSo I just can't live my life like this I want the gold chains and diamond rings But I just can't live my life like this And sometimes I just wanna light this spliff But I just can't live my life like this (Verse) Just got a collect call from up top My cousin called me and what not The motto never changed it's still fuck cops We went from havin' lunch in our lunchbox Our lungs is hot whenever we puff pot We touch blocks and end up havin a gun shot But fuck that, ain't tryna live that life no more My mind corrupted but my heart is still pure Gotta be brave can't be afraid Braids and waves never matter when you catch the fade Trapped in a maze and your fade is your only escape Fuck a priest's opinion Knock the hinges off of Heaven's gates Tryna share my cells wit' my mate Not share a cell wit' mates Wreckin' shit wit' my wrecklessness The L get lit that's when I start second guessin' shit Thinkin' ‘bout Tot and then I reminisce What you thought you niggas could've fuck me over Never nigga guess again I'm street so cross me like pedestrians And that's gon be your end of it Straight revokin' your membership (Chorus) One day I'm tryna have a wife and kid So I just can't live my life like this And I ain't tryna know what lifeless is So I just can't live my life like this I want the gold chains and diamond rings But I just can't live my life like this And sometimes I just wanna light this spliff But I just can't live my life like this (Verse) Niggas wanna know what I'm about I'm bout blowin' loud on the block sporty GLOCK 40 in a politician mouth I take the competition out Commission wit' my composition Who the kid spittin' behind the bars Like a con position Gotta give ‘em time to listen They'll soon bump to it they'll like me I kick it like Nike they'll adjust to it But if you hate I know you must do it I ain't mad at you I keep my attitude on school Learn ya bucks to do it I'm out for presidents to represent me Yo chick keep messaging me Who the bestest MC? They be mentioning me Too hot, I be molestin' the beat Fuck math, teachers shoul teach If it keep Smith & Wesson's off the street So first class be a lesson from me Fuck what you teach if it's a riggies I fly it over liggies All time highs where Jesus can't reach us Step to me and get the recipe to make you rest in peace This is for my niggas, killers Hundred dollar billers On the block in the rock spot GLOCK cocked watchin' out for cops All about they cheddar Young girls know nothin' that's better Like fuck a prison letter Those Beretta's led us to the lettuce Real as fetishes menaces Want the senator's percentages If you ain't prejudice you still a nemisis Smokin' on the Clematis Get open like a present is Now yo presence is on the premisces for them presidents My city be the genesis for where they think the terror is They linkin terrorists from the Stuy Then linkin terraces They on that wrecker shit They leave you left for the dead Kids don't play they'll erase your head in a race for the bread Children on the corners slingin' some reds Poppin' some meds Shits be so deep in cover they be chasin' the feds I be back stage grippin' haze breakin' my leg My folks was makin' the best When they was naked in bed, muthafucka (Chorus) One day I'm tryna have a wife and kids So I just can't live my life like this And I ain't tryna learn what lifeless is So I just can't live my life like this I want the golden chains and diamond rings But I just can't live my life like this And sometimes I just wanna light this spliff But I just can't live my life like this Aus Songtexte Mania
