Akil The MC - L.I.V.E. lyrics

[Hook] You know it's me, who can it be? Akil The MC, L.I.V.E. (x3) Who can it be? You know it's me Akil The MC, L.I.V.E. (x3) [Verse 1] It's all live, check my mic line Drop the beat so you can hear my voice in real time Yea it's all me, who you thought I be? Who you thought I was? Just another emcee? Well I'm from S.C., Los Angeles California Correctional Facility In the land of that g**n mentality I learned to emcee, L.I.V.E [Hook] [Verse 2] So now you know it's live, you know it's party time Rotisserie flavour for the hungry mind First encounter of a verse and rhyme It's like being in the right place at the right time Golden, holdin' on to what I know Verbally outspoken, a real live showman Lyrically I'm potent, on point, focussed Ain't no hoes hockin' us With a little magic dust, really can't be mad at us That was just [?] we was brought us f** gettin' caught up Stuck, got our luck in the devil's gut I ain't tryna be down if we ain't comin' up Too many under the ground and they ain't gettin' up A black man's guide “How to survive when sh** is f**ed up” Right, right, right So instead of doin' crimes I'm wrote rhymes, now I live it up [Hook]
