Buddha Monk - Live My Life lyrics

rate me

[Intro: Buddha Monk]

It's crazy, I'm just try'nna live my life

It won't let me... check it out

[Buddha Monk]

I was, born in the streets, where most thugs come from

Born in the streets, where every nigga got a gun

Born in the streets, where beef will get you leaking

Born in the streets, where police'll beat you frequent

Or go to get that, ya'll cats, ya'll still need that

Pull out the heat and make sure, your body eat that

Low profile, watch it, where you be at

So me and my mans, can poly, nigga, come and see that

See what you lack to move quiet, but ya bitch is on ya back

Telling how much you make, nigga, and where you keep it at

You think you need that, when the g's ain't trynna see that

Now you're sitting there, wondering where you bleeding at

But no need for that, for you making your soul see that

Six feet under the ground is where you sleep at

Rest now, only the image of you looks over the ground

While your kids is with a bastard who don't care now

Rest in peace...

[Chorus: Buddha Monk]

This world is nothing but sorrow and pain

I'm just try'nna get by the day

Can I live my life? I just wanna live my life, and

No matter how hard I try to refrain

For putting a slug in someone's brain

Can I live my life? Why can't I just wanna live my life? Oh no...

[Buddha Monk]

It ain't my fault I turned out to be a bastard

But as them bullets got close, I had to learn to bust a ratchet

I wasn't even, looking for the war

But Sally hit me off, on how they wanted to score

Had clips galore, vest up, grab henny from the store

Call my man, Kenny, nigga and told him to meet me at four

With discreet when I walk, causing all beef when as we walk

Cuz if I did that, man, that's more heat that we brought

So we, peace with our walk, low key with our talk

Gave out bags of weed, to throw them nosy niggaz off

Now that we did that, it's green light where we live at

Let them punks bring the beef, nigga I'm ready to clap

Send 'em back to the essence, where their man rest at

Or while I'm doing that, make sure that we don't get clapped

When the smoke clears, is there any one there?

I don't care, for all I know is I'm still here

Never worry about staring at the death of my peers

Cuz I know they wishing it was my death, instead of theirs

That's why they laying there, scared, hoping death they don't hear

But their heart is beating fast, tell 'em now beware

Slug punch the left lung, body now numb

Now it's back to the light of dirt, where you came from

Look dunn, this beef here, we didn't even want, son

But we gonna deal with the shit, nigga, however it comes, believe that

[Chorus x2]
