Wanted To Live

And I just wanted to live

But it was harder to give

When you ain't have it at all

My ideas too tall

'Cause I just wanted to live

But it was harder to give

When you ain't have it at all

My ideas too tall

I could see to the mountaintops from the very bottom

I done had niggas eat in front of me when I was starving in the game

But, shit, I had to charge it to the game

Breaking even, do you even have a dollar to your name?

Shit changed, not really, shit hot still

I still get calls like, "Bro, whatshisname just got killed."

One thing that remain about life, it gets real

I can't take for granted anything I'm making while I'm here

I done heard that I'm crazy a million times

Ey, you better stop talking like that, I might believe ya

But if you let him get too close, they gon' deceive ya

And I need the shine as much as I need a breather

Before Monda passed, he told me to spit ether

That turned me to a creature

He fighting off all my demons

I can see it when I wake up and right before I'm sleeping

So you, God, and me: the only thing I believe in

Straight up
