| Millie is chillin'
|
| Tryin' to earn a livin'
|
| What more can I say
|
| I live day-to-day and deal with the mistakes made
|
| My mission is different from yall niggas I’m straight
|
| My ambition proclaimed in everything that I say
|
| So tell the constellations I’m on my way up
|
| Cause at this very minute yall
|
| My daddy is laid up with a pacemaker for his heart
|
| Strong, he’s A-1
|
| So I take heed to the day that he said that I rip and run too much
|
| And I need to sit down for once
|
| I can’t kill myself trying to live and I can’t be still
|
| And still think I’mma win? |
| (yeah)
|
| Between the self-doubts and the odds being stacked as high as gas prices
|
| It appears our only options are
|
| Being rich and senseless, broke and righteous
|
| Teenage moms is burnt, the kids is just like her
|
| Judgement is nearing, everyday its reminders and we ignore it
|
| Pretending we’re immortal we can’t afford to play with our lives
|
| Like its 8 more in the corner store we can buy «for the low»
|
| 'Fore it’s time for us to go
|
| Wanna make sure my soul cool
|
| Studio protocol, alcohol and Protools
|
| Highgrade to heighten the mood
|
| Playin' ignorant to the rules and Universal Code
|
| That everything you do comes back 10-fold
|
| 10 years ago I was dying to be grown
|
| 10 years ago my good friend passed on
|
| Died in a car crash, same exact birthdate
|
| Year, day, everything
|
| So its safe to say it hit home
|
| But she’s in a safe place
|
| Me I’m still searching
|
| Working through the hurt put the Roy Ayers on
|
| I put on for mine, ain’t a thing set in stone
|
| Except death
|
| Cause its a definite and what your Heaven is
|
| is really relative
|
| My relative said mine is in the Testament
|
| Set precedent
|
| Every lesson is designed to be a blessing in disguise
|
| You’ll find out
|
| Ooooooooh
|
| Yeah we all know life is all about the rhythm
|
| But sometimes we get the Blues
|
| But Mama said just keep on living
|
| And that’s the real nigga news
|
| We’re void of checks and balances
|
| Selling slogans, still living counterfeit
|
| Self-abondonment
|
| We deal a bad hand, can’t handle it
|
| «YOLO» is backward
|
| I’ve come to understand that things we can’t understand
|
| We all want control of
|
| Love being one of em
|
| Some of us runnin' toward the wrong one to make us feel comfortable
|
| Tryin' to live «the dream» everybody ain’t a Huxtable
|
| I’d rather run with 100 bums
|
| If I had to choose that or have to go and front
|
| Bout anything vehicle or income
|
| Man I ain’t being somethin' that I ain’t
|
| Everybody got a tongue, got my own taste
|
| With a working pair of legs, run my own race
|
| I won’t do it just to say that I did it
|
| My lungs functioning, can’t say I’m living
|
| But I’m alive, destiny’s pre-written
|
| So get ready, here I go
|
| Consider this the rough draft
|
| Thinking past tomorrow-type flow
|
| Go- play invincible if you wanna
|
| Ain’t no escapin' especially when Karma is the hunter
|
| Go- be a criminal if you wanna
|
| Eternal life or fire
|
| Everybody gets a summons
|
| You’ll find out
|
| Ooooooooh
|
| Yeah we all know life is all about the rhythm
|
| But sometimes we get the Blues
|
| But Mama said just keep on living
|
| And that’s the real nigga news |
