On My Life

(album: little BIG Man - 2021)

(169)

I wrote this staring at Adele, wonder if I'll touch that money
LV clutch, I'm just trying to clutch that money
In cahoots with the Coots, you should want that from me
Cost to write a will and they want that from me
Meningitis killed my nigga, he weren't your average joe
Death's getting closer, I feel he's hands on my throat
Throw me in the deep end and you'll find me paddling home
Was lost for a second, it's just my Madeleine flow
I looked death in the eyes wearing Gazelles
Staring at the heavens, we're already in Hell
If all else fails, I can't do anything else
Niggas claiming they're a dozen
They're really twenty to twelve
That's forty and faulty, at 16, I had door keys
Gassed up, record me
Young nigga shit, saucy

On my mamma I'ma make out the slummer
I'm getting fed up of them running down my runner
I'll be selling white to my colour
If it ain't one problem it's another
So I bought a hundred shells for a oner
And you can bargain with your life if you wanna
One step when I shoot, no run ups
One step when I shoot, I'm a gunna

Told you niggas twice on my life, on my life
I'ma take a life on my life, on my life
I might be late, bitch, I might
All my niggas left, looking right

Ambidextrous with it, you can get a shot, get a tetanus with it
Say they do or die but they're verbal with reply
When I took that niggas pride got a necklace with
You can buy it back but it won't be half the bread
From the same school but you didn't know me after then
Sat down for some grub but it was only half a Z
Now I'm on curfew, it feel like Covid after 10
Passion been replaced with anger, I'm on my Jays
Co D caught on the camera, he got a case
Felt like Tony Montana before the raid
Every trip took me two steps back and I'm in the cage
Better have my back when I'm tryna hit the belly
I ain't rolling with a circle full of clowns
Nigga got a lion in my pouch
Every time I hear a roar I get aroused

On my mamma I'ma make out the slummer
I'm getting fed up of them running down my runner
I'll be selling white to my colour
If it ain't one problem it's another
So I bought a hundred shells for a oner
And you can bargain with your life if you wanna
One step when I shoot, no run ups
One step when I shoot, I'm a gunna

Told you niggas twice on my life, on my life
I'ma take a life on my life, on my life
I might be late, bitch, I might
All my niggas left, looking right
