Steep Life Lyrics by Apollo Brown, Philmore Greene

Cost of Living

2022

[Intro]
Yeah yeah, steep life
It's steep life, coming up where niggas is sheep-like
Rappers and hoopers, we strive to be like
Yeah
It's steep life, coming up where niggas is sheep-like
Rappers and hoopers, we strive to be like
Yeah
Look
[Verse 1]
Step in the concrete jungle
Everything is broke, your passion be the healer
If you getting bread and the vultures know they glad to be your killer
Dirty mattresses, imagine it was your faculty that hit up
And the women that set you up and get the bag for they concealer
Put the package on her liver greyhound packages delivered
It is hazardous, in the middle of July shit you could shiver
Quiver, where I’m from it ain’t built for the weak and bitter
And if Philly ain’t your best then you gon' have to reconsider
For realer, the steep life where niggas don’t sleep and eat right
If niggas at yo head you better sleep with a peace pipe
To get his babies fed he a risk getting three strikes
Need life, at least the pen taught him to read, right?
Time of need, see what his knees like
Pray to the east 'hamdulillah, now he starting to see life
Uh, child of the ghetto working hard to be bright
LeBron the King Von is who he striving to be like
Steep life
[Chorus: Sample]
It's steep life, coming up where niggas is sheep-like
Rappers and hoopers, we strive to be like
It's steep life, coming up where niggas is sheep-like
Rappers and hoopers, we strive to be like
It's steep life, coming up where niggas is sheep-like
Rappers and hoopers, we strive to be like
It's steep life, coming up where niggas is sheep-like
Rappers and hoopers, we strive to be like
[Verse 2]
Look
The only peace we ever get is after rest in
Let’s create leaders and moguls, no more cellmates we need more best men
Holy matrimony better get ya ratchet homie
I rep the fucking Chi as if I got it tatted on me
It showed me everything from a birth to a murder scene
The shells was popping outta the chamber I heard the cling
So close, if you was black around here you served a fiend
For no reason 12 a search jeans
We used to dirty cops rushing, guns busting
Baby mamma’s phone fussin
Want beef, home of Cochise, nigga we on something
Box Chevy bumpin, commissary, jail calls coming
Any moment we down to fall, like we log running
Niggas fake as Paul Bunyan, bitches fake as Snow White
Hell yeah shorty gon' ball, he ain’t grow right
Packed crib, no lights, no beans, no rice
Link Cards, mo' mice
Watch for the po-lice
Steep life
[Chorus: Sample]
It's steep life, coming up where niggas is sheep-like
Rappers and hoopers, we strive to be like
It's steep life, coming up where niggas is sheep-like
Rappers and hoopers, we strive to be like
It's steep life, coming up where niggas is sheep-like
Rappers and hoopers, we strive to be like
It's steep life, coming up where niggas is sheep-like
Rappers and hoopers, we strive to be like
[Outro]
It ain't easy 'round here
You gotta hustle 'round here, yeah
We're tryna get it 'round here
Steep life
