Life We Chose

Right Yeah Kazie And this the life that we chose My mic was backwards and shit Look Before I eat I stop to say my grace Niggas talkin' beef I just raised the stakes Expensive habits either scrap it, or you pay to play Road to success comes with stress when you pave the way For niggas under you I'm Comfortable Hardly shaken Ain't the niggas you be with, out here lying just to save face You couldn't fill my shoes cause you ain't laced With the same game I maintained and looked to embrace I leveled up, had to take loses to feel what winning's like This for niggas in county blues out there sending kites Or the niggas trying to provide, working 10-5's Never break, maybe bruise, shit I been in fights How we go from kids watching, "Nick at Nite"? To chilling with a bitch to give her dick at night The way I used to live had me sick at night God gave me another chance so I did it right This the life we chose So I put my head to the sky Show gratitude Always stay real and get fly Go above and beyond, shit I used to get by But when you moving like this, you get used to this life I refuse to live life, check to check while I'm breathin' 10 Toes down for everything I believe in Goals I used to write, I'm turning into achievements I know it's 'cause I'm here for a reason This life can get tricky Women out here fucking for a Bentley And these niggas come with envy like it's trendy Niggas that I used to go and "Dine-and-Ditch" at Denny's Taught me love is temporary and never to be too friendly I miss my nigga Reggie I miss my nigga Kenny I miss my nigga Jojo, man I swear I lost so many 'Cause now I feel the only friends I got are Grant and Benji 'Cause they ain't never changed so over them I get stingy I need a chick to hold a nigga down when it gets tricky One that I can pour in, be the Lauren to my Nipsey So if you on that bullshit then baby you can miss me I know that I ain't perfect but I'm worth it if you pick me I'm purchasing the Remy to sip To reminisce Back when life was a bliss Even when I ain't have shit But then I seen a shift when I upped the hustle a bit This life now that I live I promise I wouldn't switch This the life we chose So I put my head to the sky Show gratitude Always stay real and get fly Go above and beyond, shit I used to get by But when you moving like this, you get used to this life I refuse to live life, check to check while I'm breathin' 10 Toes down for everything I believe in Goals I used to write, I'm turning into achievements I know it's 'cause I'm here for a reason Uh And this the life we chose The mics, flows, the money We do it 'cause we love it And I love y'all It's like y'all gave me the kiss of life Yeah For Grown Folks ONLY
