[Verse 1]
I had to overcome all these obstacles in my way
That almost had me k**ed, pray to god forgive me today
As tomorrow ain't promised, I ride with n***as that spray
And will take your life away if you try to get in my lane
My heart is cold, these streets hurt us, and scarred my soul
You could get your breath took over a box of Marlboros
I had to play my father's role in my household
We on the block scheming, dreaming of being of Alpo
Jordan money ain't Forbes money
But this is my reality, ain't never
Had another man extort from me
Watch your words when you speak to these snakes, they got some nerve
First they with ya then they start telling as soon as cops emerge
I'm like f** the world, get
Money and live life
My family gotta eat, I gotta my bread right
f** a pair Nikes, I gotta get my head right
This sh** is rigged they never gave us a fair fight
[Hook]
F a hater that ain't something to be trust me none a these fools ain't got nothing on me
I gotta stay up til the lights go out
The curtains go down, man I came for the crown
I gotta get my bread right
It's time to get this bread right
I gotta get my bread right
Now get money and live life
Live life
[Verse 2]
We all went thru the struggle, from not havin' anything
To chasin' our dreams, of money stacks and heavy bling
Bottles on my table every saturday
Life is but a fairy tale to me it all seems very real
Fake friends and prostitutes surround me on my ferris wheel
Take us on your magic ship, please mister tambourine
Man I just can't believe them d** that's on everything
That's why I had to skip the liquor I ain't into Mary Jane
Get my lazy a** up in the gym to get my mind right now
Ain't nothing sweeter than the limelight now
Let me get on my grind right now, like I am DGK
Everything in life has it's price f** the easy way
Brothers from another, we've been slaves to the system
Talkin' 'bout we free now, but the chains wasn't missin'
I said we was gone make it but these lames wouldn't listen
Now I ain't Scottie Pippen but I play my position
