Lyrics

[Verse 1]
In life
In life
Yo, Toddla T, run it
[Verse 2]
If I ever make it in life
You a go be living like royalty
So me haffi set the thing right
Never ever haffi think twice, no way
[Verse 3]
If I ever make it in life
You a go be living like royalty
So me haffi set the thing right
Never ever haffi think twice, no way
[Verse 4]
Life intense
Aim fi the best
Diamond from the sands
Pree da crown on my head
Life intense
Aim fi the best
Diamond from the sands
Pree da crown on my head
[Verse 5]
Lord, manna blessed
Blessed with strength
Feds want arrest
Because I never slept
I was inna trap flipping day and the night
Flipping wah wah
Flipping day and the night
Gambino tryna get it all in (King)
All about empire, all of dem are falling
Real recognise real, walk and I talk it (King)
Gambian brudda, Mister K. Kinte (King)
Mister K. Kinte (King, king)
[Verse 6]
If I ever make it in life
You a go be living like royalty
So me haffi set the thing right
Never ever haffi think twice, no way
[Verse 7]
If I ever make it in life
You a go be living like royalty
So me haffi set the thing right
Like royalty, royalty, hey
[Verse 8]
Proto
Man a set it like three-a-card
'Member when me get me first Honda Accord
Kartel say 'Clarks,' over Don it did record
Shell the world me first hit record
Count me blessing dem, reaping the reward
Make me first mill', I 'member when me used to starve
Pull up a Irish Town, Benz inna garage
Pop Skull or Protoje them cannot sabotage
Like an iPhone 11, so me charge
Puff me ganja in front the serg'
Right now them surprise how man a live
So me gain me blessing, yo, a so me give
[Verse 9]
If I ever make it in life
You a go be living like royalty
So me haffi set the thing right
Never ever haffi think twice, no way
[Verse 10]
If I ever make it in life
You a go be living like royalty
So me haffi set the thing right
Like royalty, royalty, hey
