๐ Lyrics
Yeah, you know this life man, this life we live man, it can be wild
It can take the best out of you, it can make the worst out of you
Some of the things we had to do, some of the things we wanted to do
You know just to get to where we are, what we're trying to be
I realize that most of y'all, it all (It's all crazy)
Age 12, sold dimes, did crime and ate good
I brought new definition to the term childhood
I had two older sisters and one that was younger
Ramen noodles and some Spam was the way I stopped hunger
Got dumped after school, I would pray for a brother
Now we didn't have much, but we did have each other
My idol was a pitcher, running yards and shooting jumpers
(I take it back) He was pitching and was always running numbers
But then we got evicted and my father chose to split it
So the school I chose to quit it and this game I chose to live it
But the mic was always calling, I knew it was my purpose
But with a child to feed it make it hard for you to focus
So I broke into the hustle, couldn't pick a worse time
When I spit my first line, fiends did they first line
No I didn't wanna ball, I was into writing dog
So I know to all of y'all it probably (It's all crazy)
What we do and what we try just to try to get by
The only way we can survive probably (It's all crazy)
(It's so crazy) The only way we know to live probably (It's all crazy)
(It's so crazy) The only way we can survive probably (It's all crazy)
What we done and what we did to provide for our kids
The only way we know to live probably (It's all crazy)
Ain't no one tried to lift a finger 'less it was to pull a trigger
Through the graces of my God I never had to kill a nigga
Used to hustle up at Sharon's shooting dice with the shack dogs
Looking out for parents we would sneak up out the back door
You believe it it's a fact folk, life out in Decatur
I was writing every day, trying to make it out Decatur
Not the city but the thinking, if you wanna know the secret
The ghetto's everywhere, cause in your mind is where you keep it
Where you from ain't where you going if you wanna go far
It don't matter where you live and where you think is where you are
Let's try to make it simple, never sell yourself short
You can sell that nigga hope the same way you sell him dope
I ain't really into preaching, if it's two or three I'm reaching
Shit I feel like it was worth it, now I'm rhyming for a reason
Don't ever get it twisted like I'm full of contradictions
Cause the point you niggas missing is (It's all crazy)
What we do and what we try just to try to get by
The only way we can survive probably (It's all crazy)
(It's so crazy) The only way we know to live probably (It's all crazy)
(It's so crazy) The only way we can survive probably (It's all crazy)
What we done and what we did to provide for our kids
The only way we know to live probably (It's all crazy)
And now my grandma's in my ear for me to work and not to serve
Meanwhile back at the crib my girl is working on my nerves
So I'm staying on the grind, but I'm hoping I can shine
Then my other son was born, now I'm praying I can rhyme
I didn't wanna be a stat, but the bills began to stack
So I'm dead to the world, and I'm living in a trap
I never wanted sympathy, I just need a chance to be
Everything I've ever dreamed, the only thing I'm meant to be
So I put away the pills and started working on my skills
And decided I would write it since I'm living it for real
Put my problems down on paper and I hope these niggas listen
I didn't think that I was different, I just wanna make a difference
Can't fully understand, as a man I'll be clear
Even if you think it's whack, you'll respect I made it here
So I'm hoping I can last, not just trying to make some cash
If I don't then I can laugh cause it (It's all crazy)
What we do and what we try just to try to get by
The only way we can survive probably (It's all crazy)
(It's so crazy) The only way we know to live probably (It's all crazy)
(It's so crazy) The only way we can survive probably (It's all crazy)
What we done and what we did to provide for our kids
The only way we know to live probably (It's all crazy)
It can take the best out of you, it can make the worst out of you
Some of the things we had to do, some of the things we wanted to do
You know just to get to where we are, what we're trying to be
I realize that most of y'all, it all (It's all crazy)
