How I Live Lyrics by Blight

2018

[Intro]
Yeah, B-Light
Shout-outs to Killah (Killah)
Yeah
Yeah
Peep

[Verse 1]
See, I'm heading for the top and I can't look back
Came for the check, got the whip in the back
Came with the watch and it came all black
Keenan, Kell?
Yeah, It's all that
Yo
All black like Django
Whips and chains kept us enslaved
But I work hard all day
Now I got a different whip in a different age

[Verse 2]
Got here and I can't go back
For the window, so I can't go Mac
I need a dollar like Aloe Blacc
I need a dollar like Aloe Blacc
I need a dollar, no need for impalas
I ain't have a father but made it through college
My momma -a goddess- and ain't have the knowledge
But we had to hustle with blessings allotted

[Verse 3]
Yo
I could kill 'em with the rhythm but they don't really know
'Cuz they never see me hit 'em like this before
And I doubt even your miss will miss this flow
Miss this flow? Listen bro
Do to the tea like Lipton, yo
You could never see what I see or believe who I be
Blood, sweat and tears like eager to bleed
I can never fall like the leaves on a tree
Or the reason, at least
That's demeaning to me
If you wanna talk keys, you can C I'm a G
That's 1K, that's a check that I see

[Verse 4]
I don't wine
But they know I'm fine
Got no retainer, I'm on my grind
I'm giving bars but I don't fight crime
And if money calls, they'll blow my line
Damn!
They don't understand
See, it's just part of the plan
See, it's just part of the plan
Keeping the beat and ain't even come with a band
Band, band
See, I'm coming for bands
They wanna be part of the brand
'Cuz I'm the man
Put on for my hood, what's good?
Ain't even part of the KKKlan

[Chorus]
Light, yuh
Huh, they don't really noticed what I did
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I just gotta do this for the kids
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I just gotta show 'em how I live
Huh, I just put my momma in a crib
They don't really noticed what I did
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, I just gotta do this for the kids
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I just gotta show 'em how I live (Why?)
Huh, I just put my momma

[Verse 5]
Look, check
Cause and effect, I caused the effect
Watchu expect?
All of this pain that I keep on my chest like a necklace
Expensive, I'm going in debt
If you callin' my bluff
What I call disrespect
While they callin' collect
I call and collect
I'm at desk while they trying to flex
They callin' you dope, but they call me best

[Verse 6]
They cannot get I've been pushing these meds, these just to get to the bread
I just did what it do
Then I get home and
I don't see my bed if you sleeping on me, you can sleep in my room
See what I said, see
Yes, their vision is dead
They've been mislead and they can't see their doom
I got it on lock and I'm givin' them dread like a hair dresser giving Jamaicans the doo

[Verse 7]
They can defend but I kill with the minimum
Lyricism, I just kill 'em with synonyms
Laced with adrenalin coupled with Ritalin
Injected to cerebellums of many men
Mercenary bars (Yeah, yeah)
Imma take the charge (Yeah, yeah)
They can just get clapped
Round of the applaud

[Chorus]
Light, Yuh
Huh, they don't really noticed what I did
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I just gotta do this for the kids
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I just gotta show 'em how I live
Huh, I just put my momma in a crib!
They don't really noticed what I did
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, I just gotta do this for the kids
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I just gotta show 'em how I live (Why?)
Huh, I just put my momma in a crib!
