Live By

[Intro: Lil Keke]
It’s something special about a street nigga
We cut different

[Bridge]
Never left the game, done overcame the pressure
Living like a King, this dream was something special
Aye, yeah
It feel good when you stand strong
Go get the paper, bring it back and put your mans on

[Verse 1]
Suffered, through the pain and sweat, with no regret
These niggas hungry, tell ‘em the tables set
Now say your grace, amen
I remember cooking, hitting stains in a Days Inn
Every day we prayed for better, but got worse
Its feeling like we skipping the gift, to get the curse
So, where the purse, the money first
Niggas wanna take the lead, but can't succeed
A rare breed, no greed
Never ever bite the hand that gotta feed
You, be careful how you move and what you do
And you never judge a man unless you walked in his shoes

[Chorus]
Live by it, die by it
I
Live by it, die by it
Why?
If you live by it, you die by it
Don't cry
Keep it solid, look a man in his eye
Because I

[Bridge]
Never left the game, done overcame the pressure
Living like a King, this dream was something special
Aye, yeah
It feel good when you stand strong
Go get the paper, bring it back and put your mans on

[Verse 2]
Comeback with the sack on my back and put the team on
Reminiscing puffing them squares, until the green gone
Now the screens on, and the lights bright
Don Ke, I went self-made to get my life right
Yeah, I can see clearly
My niggas doing time, yeah I’m missing them dearly
Fuck all you haters, man I say that sincerely
And if it ain’t my people, I don’t let them come near me
They movin’ too queerly, its more money herely
I do it for the streets, and I’m happy they feel me
So good Lord steer me, I’m taking a walk
And I just speak it as a legend, and they loving the talk
Don Ke

[Chorus: Lil Keke]
Live by it, die by it
I
Live by it, die by it
Why?
If you live by it, you die by it
Don't cry
Keep it solid, look a man in his eye
Because I

Never left the game, done overcame the pressure
Living like a King, this dream was something special
Aye, yeah
It feel good when you stand strong
Go get the paper, bring it back and put your mans on
