This is an East End production
Sixteen in the street with the money in my hand, made a couple rubber bands
I didn't have no plan, just was tryna be a man
Just live life
Thank God every day when I hopped out the bed
This is the feeling that I feel when I'm fed
I remember what my grandmama said
Just live life
When you wanna hear them talking, you're down on the ground
When you wanna turn that frown to a smile

I know you going through your ups and your downs
Just live life
When you stuck in the hood and this all you can see
You wanna be a young Ali
Push hard to be all you can be
Just live life
I'ma do this one for my peoplе, my family, my n***as
For the one who stood 10 toes in thе winter cold and didn't shiver
Take a n***a soul with some bullet holes from a 45, but they n***a
Go take a shot of that liquor

Yeah
And say, "Fuck your problems"
Matter of fact, I ain even really feeling that
Go ahead and pop a bottle
You gonna tip that bitch? Go on, let her fill that shit
Might as well fuck tomorrow
I been real low-key, but you still know me
This young n***a pop the collar
Swag so fly, girls got to holler
It's n***as over here getting lots of dollars
I'm working with a fan, get 100 a hour
First you gotta grind, then it's money and power
Gotta stand 10 toes and control what's ours
And learn loyalty 'cause it's something we value

Cracker gave my cousin 50 years
He didn't care about bills, how our family feels
Had to get off my knees, had to wipe my tears
I had to be strong, had to get it on my own
Man, I had to be grown, take care of my home
Had to do what I did, please know what I done
I was only 16
Just a little bitty n***a, having real big dreams
Trying to get to the top, I just wanna be a king
But you pussy n***as hate, n***a we were partners at the bottom, now you wanna make a scene
Now you wanna make a scene, 'cause a n***a dressing clean
And a n***a riding good, and I'm cruising through the hood
But it's only in the night, and these n***as don't like
I'm living my life, my life, my life
I'm living my life, my life, my life
Yeah
