L.I.V.E.

Are you living, or trying to earn your right to die? Are you living, or are you barley getting bye? When you're done living, will you fly or will you fry? You don't need permission to simply open up your eyes And live, live on, live on, live on, live on, and live Yea Yea I'm still here, still living, still surviving Still analyzing, still in this pad scribing Describing the life I see through un-sober eyes It's different when a nigga got to live without his vices Now that I'm wifeless, I live my life priceless Cause true crisis separates men from mices I tried to fight this, but man I kind of like this Took anger and frustration sprinkled in a light twist of fear Washed it down with some beer Watched fear disappear, but the pain still remained on my brain like a stain Tried bleach tried Gain tried bleach tried Gain again But the pain still remained on my brain like a stain Now they look at me strange and ask me silly questions like "Kay Bee man, how you maintain?" I had to look in the mirror and ask myself the same thing And the mirror said to me, "This is how you stay sane, and live" So live on and live and live on Are you living, or trying to earn your right to die? Are you living, or are you barley getting bye? When you're done living, will you fly or will you fry? You don't need permission to simply open up your eyes And live, live on, live on, live on, live on, and live Yea Yea Easy to say, but harder to do I'm going thru the same thing as you You lie to yourself so many time that lies that you tell to yourself became the truth Then you tell the same lies that you learned to the youth Miseducating them to now the don't know what to do When the weeds run wild, snatch them up by the roots So, here's what you should do: restart, relearn, regroup Then repeat the same loop by two Until the lie's no longer the truth Then put the proof on the highest of roof Do as I say, and not as I do Hell naw! That's a hypocrite move It starts with me, then works to you Looks like we got some work to do Don't take it personal dude, these just my personal views I can spit it until my face turns blue But you a man so do what you do, and just live And live on and live Yea Yea Are you living, or trying to earn your right to die? Are you living, or are you barley getting bye? When you're done living, will you fly or will you fry? You don't need permission to simply open up your eyes And live, live on, live on, live on, live on, and live Yea Yea
