How We Livin’
[Intro]
(Jay S on the beat)

[Chorus]
Welcome to life, how we livin'
Shit, I gotta live right 'fore they miss me (They miss me)
On my grind, if you blink, you might miss him (You might miss him)
I might sip one more drink, just for rhythm (One more)
I might smoke one more spliff 'fore I spin him (One more)
I might pull up on timin' and kill him (Skrrt)
I'm a hero, they paint me the villain (Paint me the villain)
I know n***as that ain't no convincin' (Ain't no convincin', nah)
On your top if I ever get mentioned (On your top)
On your block with a hunnid lil' n***as (On your block)
Why you post and you ain't in the picture? (You ain't in the picture)
Make the call and the gang'll come get you (Comе get you)

[Post-Chorus]
Look, still on my mission, I'm still with them n***as they talk about (Thеy talk about, they talk about)
They see me in person, it's not what these n***as been talkin' 'bout (Talkin' 'bout, talkin' 'bout, no)

[Verse 1]
He think with his dick, called my lil' bitch, once he get drunk, she gon' walk him out
I'll make a landmark of that parking lot (Parking lot)
Right when he see him, his heart'll stop
Not with them n***as that talk a lot
Thinkin' trouble 'fore I I took another shot
It was really my brother, ain't nothin' to talk about
It ain't nothin' to talk about
I'm the type that's gon' shine when it's darkest out
Hunnid shots, through the clip at apartment now (Brr)
I ain't tryna drive by, let's go walk 'em down
Ain't no Benz, got that pack, they kill order now
[Pre-Chorus]
Still on my mission, I'm still with them n***as they talk about (Stay with them n***as)
They see me in person, it's not what them n***as been talkin' 'bout (It's not what them n***as—)

[Chorus]
Welcome to life, how we livin'
Shit, I gotta live right 'fore they miss me (They miss me)
On my grind, if you blink, you might miss him (You might miss him)
I might sip one more drink, just for rhythm (One more)
I might smoke one more spliff 'fore I spin him (One more)
I might pull up on timin' and kill him (Skrrt)
I'm a hero, they paint me the villain (Paint me the villain)
I know n***as that ain't no convincin' (Ain't no convincin', nah)
On your top if I ever get mentioned (On your top)
On your block with a hunnid lil' n***as (On your block)
Why you post and you ain't in the picture? (You ain't in the picture)
Make the call and the gang'll come get you (Come get you)

[Post-Chorus]
Look, still on my mission, I'm still with them n***as they talk about (Stay with them n***as)
They see me in person, it's not what these n***as been talkin' 'bout (Never)

[Verse 2]
No one I can trust, seen fiends in a rush, uncle tweakin' off the dust
I had to be tough when my sneakers had holes, summer jeans, I was cut
Wasn't no luck, n***as had to fight the cold, only thing we had was us (Us)
They see how I'm cut (Ice), this a different type of fabric, found my passion on that bus (Ooh, ooh)
Let me fly South with a package in my bag, prayin' that this shit don't stop
Run the town, I might charge him a dime, hunt a town, it's like thirty a pop
Life lessons that I learned from my pop, he know that the murder don't stop
Like, you gon' end up with a nurse or a plot? If I bury you, it's gon' hurt me a lot
N***a, you 'posed to get money and leave
I heard what he said, never stopped what I did (Never)
Had to get to it, I couldn't ask mama for Jordans
I learned to get shit how I live, still in the crib
Finna hop out with the rag, right before she kicked me out (Kicked me out)
Used to have guns in the couch, but all of this hatin' about
Like, once we get in, ain't no way we be out
[Chorus]
Welcome to life, how we livin'
Shit, I gotta live right 'fore they miss me (They miss me)
On my grind, if you blink, you might miss him (You might miss him)
I might sip one more drink, just for rhythm (One more)
I might smoke one more spliff 'fore I spin him (One more)
I might pull up on timin' and kill him (Skrrt)
I'm a hero, they paint me the villain (Paint me the villain)
I know n***as that ain't no convincin' (Ain't no convincin', nah)
On your top if I ever get mentioned (On your top)
On your block with a hunnid lil' n***as (On your block)
Why you post and you ain't in the picture? (You ain't in the picture)
Make the call and the gang'll come get you (Come get you)

[Post-Chorus]
Look, still on my mission, I'm still with them n***as they talk about (Stay with them n***as)
They see me in person, it's not what these n***as been talkin' 'bout (No, they pussy)

[Outro]
Whole conversation change soon as I see n***as (I see n***as)
That's word to my mama, not a love (Not a love)
Well wishes, how the family doin'? (Family doin')
Online, it be gangsters, man (Gangsters, man)
And keep that shit in the internet (Internet)
Shit, hahaha
