Put It On the Line Lyrics by Trife Diesel

Put It On the Line

2005

[Intro]
Put it- put it- put it-
Put it on the line

[Chorus]
We love hip hop, and live a life of crime
Feel like I've been robbed, gotta take what's rightfully mine
So I'm stayin' on my job, yo, as far as the grind
Gotta put in that work every day and just (Put it on the line)
Strong mind still shine, young man in my prime (Come on)
Had to switch it up on 'em, had to change with the times (Uh-huh)
Now the flows upgraded, got the labels in line (Come on)
It's '05, get your money up, bitch (Put it on the line)

[Verse 1]
You about to read the greatest book ever published
The life and times of Trife Diesel, I give my heart to the public
Peep how a young boy was discovered, follow me, y'all
And bare witness as a nigga touch on these subjects
The year was 1980, the summer was hot and hazy
Reagan was president, and Nancy was the first lady
Born to a Mr. and Mrs. Bailey, a healthy lad
Wasn't poor, but, I didn't come from a wealthy pad
Mom and dad still married, they both tryna provide
Two brothers and two sisters, I'm the youngest out of five
Stapleton's where I reside, the North side of the Island
Where tryna survive was a challenge
My hood was flooded with violence
And crack was the new epidemic, and by the early '90s
The recall law was passed down by the Senate
The Yankees just won a pennant, and Jordan was in his prime
Now I'm livin' this life where I'm forced to (Put it on the line)

[Chorus]
We love hip hop, and live a life of crime (Uh-huh)
Feel like I've been robbed, gotta take what's rightfully mine (Gimme that)
So I'm stayin' on my job, yo, as far as the grind
Gotta put in that work every day and just (Put it on the line)
Strong mind still shine, young man in my prime
Had to switch it up on 'em, had to change with the times (You see me?)
Now the flows upgraded, got the labels in line
It's '05, get your money up, bitch (Put it on the line)

[Verse 2]
I'm on a journey, leaving no stone unturned
For your concern brother, I work for all I earn
Whether a crib in the p's, or a five mill' mansion
Showin' my ass like a stripper on some high heels, dancin'
Nowadays I'm showin' expansion, controllin' my team
And fuck a but-but, I'm tryna get ahold of that Phantom
My pops taught me how to hustle and attend to your ventures
'Cause a man is not a man if he ain't got no incentive, cha
Dealing with money, then everything has a percentage
Whether street or corporate office, try to keep a good image
Note these jewels I had to swallow, them words I still follow
Describe all, now me and this music, we such a good combo
Every "Morning" like Alonzo, I was serving indiction
Getting that money, fam, no matter the weather conditions
So I learned that it's better to listen, play your position
If you can't take the heat, then stay the hell out the kitchen (Put it on the line)

[Chorus]
We love hip hop, and live a life of crime
Feel like I've been robbed, gotta take what's rightfully mine
So I'm stayin' on my job, yo, as far as the grind
Gotta put in that work every day and just (Put it on the line)
Strong mind still shine, young man in my prime
Had to switch it up on 'em, had to change with the times
Now the flows upgraded, got the labels in line
It's '05, get your money up, bitch (Put it on the line)
