Countin' every blessing while I'm screamin' out
UpFront (UpFront), Akon (Akon)
Konvict Music (Konvict Music), ohh (Konvict Music)
Yeah, I realize it ain't the life for me
Always gettin' into trouble 'cause (I'm so fly)
I'm on a whole 'nother level
Left the block and now I'm smilin', countin' money like
Yeah, realize it ain't the life for me
I done found another hustle 'cause (I'm so fly)
I'm livin' life a lot better (A lot better)
Still keep a gun in case the jealous wanna hate tonight
Another day up in the hood, can't believe these cats still bangin'
Look at the years we wasted on the corner block still slangin'
No matter how much we try to make peace, them shots still rangin'
'Cause to be a hood legend, you die first, then become famous
'Cause I done seen this type of thang before (Before)
Just hangin' out up by the corner store (C'mon)
Stick-up kids with them Glocks galore
Layin' e'rybody down, stretched on the floor (The floor)
I thought about it, man, I'm way too fly (Fly)
To have a fella robbin' me outside (Side)
That's why I keep that thang by my side
And countin' every blessing while I'm screamin' out
Yeah, I realize it ain't the life for me
Always gettin' into trouble 'cause (I'm so fly)
I'm on a whole 'nother level
Left the block and now I'm smilin', countin' money like
Yeah, realize it ain't the life for me
I done found another hustle 'cause (I'm so fly)
I'm livin' life a lot better (A lot better)
Still keep a gun in case the jealous wanna hate tonight
I hate to say it, but the people that's
Surroundin' me are way too shady
The only people I could trust is my family and my lady
All my dawgs got twos ready for action, they won't betray me
Ain't the type to run or to hold my tongue when it gets crazy
See, I been through this type of thang before (Before)
Even had trouble with the law (The law)
On the couch when they smashed my door
With the warrants, found the cash stashed under the floor (The floor)
I never could understand the cause (The cause)
I was the one to pull the shortest straw (The straw)
Couldn't live this type of life no more
So had a thought of maybe screamin' out
Yeah, I realize it ain't the life for me
Always gettin' into trouble 'cause (I'm so fly)
I'm on a whole 'nother level
Left the block and now I'm smilin', countin' money like
Yeah, realize it ain't the life for me
I done found another hustle 'cause (I'm so fly)
I'm livin' life a lot better
Still keep a gun in case the jealous wanna hate tonight
I'm in blue with them VF frames
Walkin' on lean while my chain hangs
Drivin' somethin' pronounced mad strange
Yeah, I'm mad cool 'cause I been through flames
Walk with a limp 'cause I been through dames
Now she's a ho 'cause she been through gangs
Beef with cats for a small chump change
I'm rich now, that's more chump change
The cops know slang
Man, get the picture before you buy the frame
Call me heartthrob 'cause I'm so vain
Couldn't come close if you sat in my Range
My scars can prove it, I'm passion and pain, singin'
Yeah, I realize it ain't the life for me
Always gettin' into trouble 'cause (I'm so fly)
I'm on a whole 'nother level
Left the block and now I'm smilin', countin' money like
Yeah, realize it ain't the life for me
I done found another hustle 'cause (I'm so fly)
I'm livin' life a lot better
Still keep a gun in case the jealous wanna hate tonight
