Braveheart - I Wanna Live lyrics

rate me

Braveheart niggas<br />

Ill-will niggas<br />

Made of steel niggas<br />

Robothugs<br />

We can't be stopped by them bitch-ass cops<br />

Made of steel, y'all bullets don't kill<br />

We break outta jail, fuck the system<br />

To all our black babies, boys and girls<br />

We school y'all wit' knowledge of the world<br />

Only to God we hail, and this money we spend it<br />

We spend it, it's the root of evil<br />

But these black millionaires will live and survive<br />

We will stay alive<br />

<br />

A quick reality check, salaries and sex<br />

Rodents spreadin' disease, and man'll carry it next<br />

I been exposed to this game, so it's that I express<br />

Blood, sweat and tears, for my stress, cigarettes and beers<br />

Newports or Kools, cautious dudes movin' in the Belly<br />

I stay aware of who I'm talkin' to<br />

Police payin' fiends off wit' food<br />

For a Snicker bar, they knock on your door, come and get you God<br />

<br />

Hit you harder than a crack pipe, live the gat life<br />

Gettin' drunk, full gallons down to half-pints<br />

X-O to act right, stay slurring my speech<br />

Hearin' silent screams at night, disturbing my sleep<br />

Burnin' my weed, the smallest thug caught a bug<br />

War stories on the bench till y'all caught a buzz<br />

I made y'all watch when the game's hot, the same park<br />

Niggas hustle and die without they Braveheart<br />

<br />

I wanna live the way my brother lives<br />

I shall not die<br />

Why must we be so high?<br />

<br />

I pray to God<br />

Take me to your path<br />

And show me how to live with all this cash<br />

<br />

A black robe for my queen, guns and crack for my team<br />

Wit a map of fifty states that's flooded wit' fiends<br />

It says, "Welcome to my town" but if you black you hang<br />

We don't tolerate no shit from pimps or gangs<br />

Fuck that, that's the rule for them fake ass cats<br />

Paradise is the place that you vacate at<br />

Very few get to make it back, or get knocked tryin'<br />

Holdin' they earning from the block, there's no returnin'<br />

Trapped in the belly of the beast week to week<br />

<br />

He shackled from his head to his feet, life is deep<br />

New York City too small for everbody to eat<br />

Some explore the world and don't give a fuck about the penalty<br />

Who's the enemy, him or me?<br />

The war on drugs will never stop, you understand that<br />

You hear me, Guiliani?<br />

<br />

I wanna live the way my brother lives<br />

I shall not die<br />

Why must we be so high?<br />

<br />

I pray to God<br />

Please take me to your path<br />

And show me how to live with all this cash<br />

<br />

Yo it's bugged, how everybody that rhyme is thug<br />

Either they sold drugs or rolled wit' Bloods<br />

Smoke weed or blow slugs<br />

Yeah, that's gangsta, but when I see ya you show love<br />

Where them guns at?<br />

All y'all niggas some really fun cats<br />

Mothafucker, give me them shines, run that<br />

Word is bond, y'all niggas fronted like y'all knew me<br />

They rep the hood but they ain't from QB<br />

<br />

Never stop this, overriding the cops, we got this<br />

Bravehearts spot 'em and drop hits<br />

Ever so harder than a mothafucker, you see it nigga<br />

Diamonds glitter, what you want to split ya<br />

Three-pound-sevens'll hit ya, focus on the picture<br />

Sparks, gun fire sent, where he went<br />

Did I miss? Perhaps, he collapsed on his back<br />

Ten to the head, either that or pins in his legs<br />

Niggas go under, the streets open up and suck you in<br />

<br />

Bad luck is when you throw dice and nothin' wins<br />

And everything you put your hands on be crumblin'<br />

And when everything you plan on come to an end<br />

Some light candles, wit Jesus picture on the glass<br />

Hangin' crosses on they walls or either practice witchcraft<br />

To bring 'em good luck, put they faith on a horse race<br />

Some niggas cook up, coke or cut up raw weight or dough<br />

We all share the same thoughts, not to be broke<br />

Some pray for fortune, but this life ain't no joke<br />

It's no joke<br />

<br />

I wanna live the way my brother lives<br />

I shall not die<br />

Why must we be so high?<br />

<br />

I pray to God<br />

Please take me to your path<br />

And show me how to live with all this cash<br />

<br />

Bravehearts, Ill-will<br />

Belly<br />

Horse<br />

Jungle, Wiz<br />

Nature<br />

We will survive<br />

And teach<br />

And reach<br />

From heart to heart, my body and soul<br />

Braveheart till the death
