[Featuring Dyme]
Live and learn
Life is a lesson
And I`m gonna teach it
First I`m gonna crawl, then I`m gonna walk
Then I`m gonna stand, then I`m gonna talk
But I gotta learn in order to teach
Then I gotta burn in order to reach
My niggaz
Yo, I see what I see day by day
Hoping that the Lord will pave my way (What!)
Have I been forgotten? Have I forsaken?
Or maybe I`m just wrong with the moves that I`ve been makin`
Hatin` others cuz they hate me over envy
They wanna send me, when we use to be friendly
Think I started off on top with two platinum albums?
Naw dog, I started off from the block
I just did shit and did shit (Ugh!)
Niggaz always knew I was down to hit shit so I stayed rich (What!)
Played with shit but it wasn`t a game; first time locked down (Ugh!)
It wasn`t the same, the whole fuckin` world, couldn`t quite close the steel
Niggaz get split for real, miss some good meal (Damn)
Called nobody but don`t nobody care
They got my back against the walls
Fuck it, I`m just here
1- First I`m gonna crawl, then I`m gonna walk
Then I`m gonna stand, then I`m gonna talk
But I gotta learn in order to teach
Then I gotta burn in order to reach
First I`m gonna crawl, then I`m gonna walk
Then I`m gonna stand, then I`m gonna talk
But I gotta learn in order to teach
Then I gotta burn in order to reach
My niggaz
Dog, it`s like this: when the fog is tight thick, a nigga might flip
And a nigga write quick, but I stay focus to what`s important
(What`s that?)
Supportin` my family, fucking with my dogs and record
According to the man upstairs, we all got our own problems
So you- stop worrying about bail (Aight)
Learned a long time ago, look away and niggaz will leave you
I hear no, speak no, see no evil
All I can do is teach you what I know, how I flow
how I get down, where I go (What!)
Maybe what I been through or send you somewhere I`ve been (Where?)
Dreams go out the window, I love my people, all of my people (Ugh)
And God gonna keep me callin` my people (Ugh)
You gots to live life to the fullest
Ain`t always about the size of the gun so time is the bullet
Repeat 1
Everyday we live and learn, take it step-by-step
We create our own path until there`s no life left
I hold my death (Ugh) all for as long as I can
Know my man (What!) plottin` with a chrome in his hand
Holdin` me back, niggaz gettin` shady over money
MY NIGGA! Pull out the 380 over money (Damn)
Really over money, can`t do without it
I got other shit to deal with, I`m like forget about it
It`s when I don`t know with much tease that comes first
because it comes with the thirst of a nigga that`s had it the worst
It`s like a curse that should be lifted
He was there when he lifted, got a call and he shifted
Once he felt that he was gifted
Got to kick it the hardest and I hope you got it
It was there from the start, I just hope you spot it
Cuz it`s my blood on paper, my soul on paper
It`s worse to live by will leave a hole in the paper
Repeat 1
