Life I Live Lyrics by Darkside E

2018

[Intro-Hook]
But what that mean? Shit I'm in da crib starvin'
Cause Mama ain't have enough bread to hit da market
Cruisin' by abandoned buildings and graffiti
Prayin' for the kids at night who ain't eattin'
Love you "On Your Mark', But hate you at the finish line
Between love and hate, Is the thinnest line
So they love you "On Your Mark", But hate you at the finish line
BeenBoutaCheck
(When the house was cold, We used the stove just to heat it)

[Verse 1]
I was told never bite off more than you can chew
Cause you eat too fast you might choke on yo food
But what dat mean? Shit, I'm in da crib starvin'
Cause Mama ain't have enough bread to hit the market
Me and Tae was wildin, We was stealing' outta Target
Mama seein' new shit, Knowin she ain't never brought it
When I was young, Thought being a fireman would payoff
Glad I changed my mind, Cause now they all gettin' laid off
Cruisin' by abandoned buildings and graffiti
Prayin' for the kids at night who ain't eattin'
Pops came again eighteen but ain't need him
When the house was cold, We used the stove just to heat it
In the belly of the beast, Tryin not to get digested
Where you can either get aired or get arrested
Clowned cause my clothes wasn't the best
But I bet you nowadays them same niggas ain't fresh
Couldn't judge me if they took it off to trial
Cause God the only one who can pull a nigga file
Between love and hate, Is the thinnest line
So they love you "On Your Mark", But hate you at the finish line
Flippin' grams, Just to see a grand
Came a long way from doing gift card scams
Can't trust these niggas, Everybody ain't ya friend
They'll call 'Crime Stoppers' just to come up on a band, Nigga

[Hook]
But what that mean? Shit I'm in da crib starvin'
Cause Mama ain't have enough bread to hit da market
Cruisin' by abandoned buildings and graffiti
Prayin' for the kids at night who ain't eattin'
Love you "On Your Mark', But hate you at the finish line
Between love and hate, Is the thinnest line
So they love you "On Your Mark", But hate you at the finish line
BeenBoutaCheck
(When the house was cold, We used the stove just to heat it)
