Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Ain't nothing but the street life
That's money, cars and hoes
It's the only life I chose
Street life, ain't nothing but the street life
They love the way I shine
This world is mine, it's all mine
[Verse 2]
Up early in the morning, got gold in my eye
Got a .45 that'll leave a hole in the sky
Sitting at this table, why I take a soul for an eye
Music and street life, that's a whole 'nother side
[Verse 3]
Hoes used to call me small time
My clothes, ain't know what to call mine
No logos, wore no tags in it
No Polo's till I started bagging it
Way before my first key
My **** E showed me
How to parlay a Z
(Good looking, ****)
I know my mama pulling overtime
Pocket full of dimes
So I'm out here pulling mine
[Verse 4]
Ain't nothing but the street life
That's money, cars and hoes
It's the only life I chose
Street life, ain't nothing but the street life
They love the way I shine
This world is mine, it's all mine
[Verse 5]
You can't close shop
Not on my block
I'm 24/7 like Ihop
Came from the bottom to the skybox
Now a penthouse, you can call me Hi Top
Roll up in the 40/40 got bout forty on me
Fifty grand in a band
I'ma roll it, homie
Brick laying cost bout another dub
Ten grand for a pound of the bubble bud
Twenty birds in a room, down in Atlanta
I caught a bird, but the birds can't buy a camper
Just an example, by an ex trapper
Dress the coupe in the shoes
Now that's dapper
[Verse 6]
Ain't nothing but the street life
That's money, cars and hoes
It's the only life I chose
Street life, ain't nothing but the street life
They love the way I shine
This world is mine, it's all mine
[Verse 7]
Street life, selling dope, fucking hoes
Big E smoke coming outta **** nose
Candy painting on the corner selling everything
I'm on the move, I ain't called mama in a couple days
This life and nothing will ever change that
I love the game and we'll never give the game back
We lost a lot of good **** in the game
But in the game, all the good **** get a name
I got a name, everybody don't die the same
Like all dope don't fly the same
MIA, yo boy, I buy them things
It's like the people want me to come fly the plane
[Verse 8]
Ain't nothing but the street life
That's money, cars and hoes
It's the only life I chose
Street life, ain't nothing but the street life
They love the way I shine
This world is mine, it's all mine
[Verse 9]
Ain't nothing but the street life
That's money, cars and hoes
It's the only life I chose
Street life, ain't nothing but the street life
They love the way I shine
This world is mine, it's all mine
[Verse 10]
Ain't nothing but the street life
That's money, cars and hoes
It's the only life I chose
Street life, ain't nothing but the street life
They love the way I shine
This world is mine, it's all mine
