Uh Live and learn Life's a lesson (life is a lesson) And I'm the teacher
Chorus: Dyme enters chorus after first verse First I'm gonna crawl, uh (crawl) Then I'm gonna walk, uh huh (walk) Then I'm gonna stand, uh huh (stand) Then I'm gonna talk, uh (talk) Then I gotta learn, what (learn) In order to teach, (teach) Then I gotta burn (burn) In order to reach (reach), my niggas
(Verse 1) Yo, I see what I see, day by day Hopin that the Lord can, pave my way Have I been forgotten, have I forsaken Or maybe I'm just wrong with the moves that I've been makin Hatin others cuz they hate me, over envy Wanna send me, when we used to be friendly Think I started off on top? With multi platinum albums? Naw dog, I started off on the block I just did shit to get shit Niggas always knew I was down to hit shit That's why I stay wit shit Played with shit, but it wasn't a game First time locked down, wasn't the same A whole new world, nothin but close to steel Niggas gettin split for real, miss a good deal They aint call nobody, cuz don't nobody care They got my back against the wall, fuck it I'm just here
(CHORUS 2X)
(Verse 2) Dog it's like this, when the fog is type thick A nigga might flip, and a nigga bite quick But I stay focused on what's important Supportin my family, fuckin with my dogs and reportin According to the man upstairs, we all got our own problems So why the fuck you worryin about theirs It was a long time ago, look awake, cuz he'll leave you I hear none, speak none, see none, evil All I can do is teach you, what I know How I flow, how I get down, where I go Maybe what I been through, will send you Somewhere, other then where, dreams all out the window I love my people, all of my people And God gon keep me callin my people You gots to live life to the fullest It aint always about the size of the gun, sometimes it's the bullet
(CHORUS 2X)
(Verse 3) Every day we live and learn, take it step by step And we create our own path, until there's no life left I hold my death, off for as long as I can Knowin my man, is plottin with the chrome in his hand Supposed to be fam, but niggas get shady over money My nigga, pull out the 380 over money Crazy over money, can't do without it I got other shit to deal with, I'm like forget about it It's the one I don't know but must teach that comes first Because he comes with the thirst of a nigga that tatted the worst It's like a curse that's to be lifted, he was there but he gripped it Got a call and he shifted, once he found out he was gifted Gotta kick it from the heart, and I hope you got it It was there from the start, I just hope you spot it Cuz it's my blood on paper, my soul on paper Words to live by will leave a hole in the paper
