Only Life I Know

(альбом: The S.O.U.L. Tape 2 - 2012)

She said I wanna hold you down, but we ain't never gonna be right,
Cause you to caught up in the street life,
But that's the only life I know.
She said the niggas that's around you, they ain't never gonna be right,
Cause everybody wanna be mike,
Instead of focusing on their own, dough.

They say a woman cancel dates 'cause she has to
And a man cancel dates 'cause he has two.
Well, I got two dates, one with destiny,
I need more, baby, don't think any less of me.
Try to juggle, slowly but came to struggle,
Sometimes I wanna hug the block, sometimes I wanna hug you.
Sometimes is about the check, sometimes is about checking that,
De'Niro said you gotta leave in 30 seconds, flat.
When the heat's coming even if you need someone,
Leave it in the rear view, don't look back, keep running.
Left her in the passenger with the jeep running,
Hazard lights blinking in the beat bumping.
Air to the streets, I hear a sweet's coming,
Air to your chest so I hear a beat from it.
She fell in love with a street nigga,
Tattooed my name on her petite figure.

She said I wanna hold you down, but we ain't never gonna be right,
'Cause you too caught up in the street life,
But that's the only life I know.
She said the niggas that's around you, they ain't never gonna be right,
'Cause everybody wanna be mike,
Instead of focusing on their own, dough.
But that's the only life I know.

There's always money to be made, that you can't deny,
I always made mine, never won who came to side,
I'm only human so if I don't eat I can't survive,
And mama said you're not a man if you can't provide.
The summers know a shortcut, it brings me home,
I worked so hard to get here, now it keeps me going.
By the time I get in what she made to eat be old,
When I slide in bed she complain my feet be cold.
Caught in street life just like my bitch said,
I love the game, I love the hustle, just like Mitch said.
Yeah, I can leave the game, but it's they still gonna love me?
When a new nigga come they gonna stop thinking of me.
Shawty watch the hustle movie she can never get,
How they make so much money, but they never quit.
I tell her quit for what? That's the only life they know,
The street's a dirty hoe, niggas try to wife it, though.

She said I wanna hold you down, but we ain't never gonna be right,
'Cause you too caught up in the street life,
But that's the only life I know.
She said the niggas that's around you, they ain't never gonna be right,
'Cause everybody wanna be mike,
Instead of focusing on their own, dough.
But this the only life I know.
