Lyrics
[Verse 1]
YoungBoy
[Chorus]
In this life that I'm livin', I pray I make it through the night
As I ride through my city, I'm thinkin', lookin' at the lights
For so long we was hurtin', I got the chance to make it right
Plenty times you done hurt me, I done been all alone tonight
They claim that they with me, but shit, I know that they ain't ride
Gotta stay down and get it, I know that it's gon' be alright
Can't get knocked off my pivot, I gotta play my cards right
Gotta stack up them Benjis, my ****, we gon' ball for life
[Verse 2]
For so long I been strivin', goin' hard, tryna make it right
So much pain in my body, know you can see it in my eyes
You say that you was with me, promised that you was down to ride
Now when I look around, you ain't nowhere by my side
[Verse 3]
Hurt me so deep, but it's okay, I'm on my grind
I got two sons, I'm just sixteen, can't waste my time
Straight from the bottom to the top, I gotta climb
That boy say he don't like me, tell him fall in line
[Verse 4]
Soul survivor, I won't stop, yeah, I'ma grind for it
I'm from that Baton Rouge, Louisiana, I done came far
Whole lot of diamonds around my neck, yeah, I'm shinin' hard
I'm sixteen, drivin' in all these exotic cars
[Verse 5]
And I don't owe nobody shit but my mama, boy
And my **** 'cause they was the ones who behind me, boy
'Member I ain't have nothin' to eat, I had to go steal for it
Show you my bank account, I swear I got six figures large
[Verse 6]
**** round me, they hatin', probably want snake me for it
These **** under disguise, livin' under the board
I guess these ****, they was made for it
But there's no mistake, he play, gon' die 'cause I ain't goin' for it
[Chorus]
In this life that I'm livin', I pray I make it through the night
As I ride through my city, I'm thinkin', lookin' at the lights
For so long we was hurtin', I got the chance to make it right
Plenty times you done hurt me, I done been all alone tonight
They claim that they with me, but shit, I know that they ain't ride
Gotta stay down and get it, I know that it's gon' be alright
Can't get knocked off my pivot, I gotta play my cards right
Gotta stack up them Benjis, my ****, we gon' ball for life
[Verse 7]
Aye, I can't even lie, I really miss my daddy
Can't trip 'bout you leavin' me, wasn't for you, this wouldn't happened
Woke up with a opportunity to feed my family
My limit the stars and I wanna grab it
Yeah, yeah, I just wanna grab it
You know, I'm on a whole 'nother level
[Verse 8]
In this life that I'm livin', I pray I make it through the night
As I ride through my city, I'm thinkin', lookin' at the lights
For so long we was hurtin', I got the chance to make it right
Plenty times you done hurt me, I done been all alone tonight
They claim that they with me, but shit, I know that they ain't ride
Gotta stay down and get it, I know that it's gon' be alright
Can't get knocked off my pivot, I gotta play my cards right
Gotta stack up them Benjis, my ****, we gon' ball for life
