Live & Love

Lets take them back to the basics

I 'member watchin BET and wantin to

Rap in the booth on the basement

Recordin songs on the radio with cassette tapes

In middle school sharing food during the lunch breaks

Young **** freestylin in the lunch line

Didn't know what a bar was what the fuck is a punchline

We kept rappin our favorite line fuck the onetime

Loosely held by this California sunshine

The older we got we started throwin em gangsigns

Growin my hair out **** check out my hangtime

See i can tell you bout the women i been with

But really bruh thats none of your business

I remember my grand mama made clothes for us

No friends at the house man someone stole somethin

On the curb in them handcuffs with my relatives

I rap anywhere **** kick that melody man this is how it is

As a child i saw the streets as my playground

Never knew one day it won't be the same

Lesson learned live and love hold it down when it comes

If i could id do it over again and i wouldn't change a thing

For a while i only listened to bone

Poetic hustler i wanna be one of them

College dropout last CD that i bought Who woulda thought Thats exactly what i become makin beats on the table

My boy bangin on his chest like he served a ten year stretch

Still can't rat used to write so much felt like a **** took a test

Gettin finessed by bitches with some big ass breasts

Girlfriends turn into baby mothers

Good friends turn into mother fuckers

Who be hard on the internet but never be in public

Happened to the love you used to hold for one another

Sittin as a youngin can someone buy my CD here

Just me and my CD player kept writin

If i hear to change something prolly change nothin

Cus i love the person **** im becomin

Yall feel that

As a child i saw the streets as my playground

Never knew one day it won't be the same

Lesson learned live and love hold it down when it comes

If i could id do it over again and i wouldn't change a thing

Gospel songs every sunday morning

My grandfather played the piano

My grandmother would always sing at church

And they would trip to see where im at now

My uncle showed me daddy told me

"Do what you want but man know who you are"

So every now and then i take a second

And think i done came hella far

As a child i saw the streets as my playground

Never knew one day it won't be the same

Lesson learned live and love hold it down when it comes

If i could id do it over again and i wouldn't change a thing
