Collecting & Living

[Intro]
Hey, collecting and
Living

Collecting and
Hey

[Chorus x2]
Collecting and Living, Collecting and Living
Collecting and Living

I hope I'm forgiven , I know i been sinning I know I been sinning

Collecting and Living, Collecting Living Collecting and Living

I know where my talents from where I got em from I know what I'm given

[Verse 1]
I know why they lied
I know why they lied
I know why they stole
Collected my pride and gave it a price
But we still got our soul
Don't know why you here
Don't nobody care
We won't disappear
I know that you smell it it's all in the air the absence of fear
Not here for the games I'm here for the game
I'm here from my city I'm feeling they pain
Wanna be great like Hova, like Kane
Had love for the music
I'm here for the same
Here for my name not here for the name
I will not front i might buy me chains
I am a slave I am slave , a slave for progression
I'm slaving for change
I'm slaving for change however we find it we must supply it
Can't leave it the same
Love conquer pain don't be ashamed
Pride will divide us together we reign
Parents architects paved me the way
Grew up in the 80's they made some mistakes
Took me the meetings showed me they pain
Laid a foundation I won't do the same

[Chorus x2]
Collecting and Living, Collecting and Living
Collecting and Living

I hope I'm forgiven , I know i been sinning I know I been sinning

Collecting and Living, Collecting Living Collecting and Living

I know where my talents from where I got em from I know what I'm given

Verse 2:
Collect a win, collect a loss
Collect a body accept the charge
Then collect the call , do you accept the charge
Now would you believe if I told you all
That my source of light is hidden in my dark
And that my sense right is learned from my wrongs
And I feel at home when I'm not at home
And I feel alone , when the music's on
Used to dance with Lucy when that drink was strong
Had to rent my truths shit was too much to own
(Too much to own)
I rather live my life without ya chains
I rather live my life without cha pain
I rather say I'm done then say ya name
I rather lose my life than go insane

Cause I learned niggas wanna kill me
I learned niggas love to try me cause they don't know the real me
They just know the Hill me
Niggas know me for the beats and bass
Not the kid linked up from 8th to chase
Mom and pop changed the pace I played it safe
See I ain't here to prove that I'm more city
We all wish that the morgue was empty we deal with Christie
Death is simply a cost of living
Shot 17 at my cuzzo Mike Mike
Killed my cuzzo Ron for a pack ciggies a pack of ciggies
My momma had cancer I know it's in me
Sister had cancer I know it's in me
Both had greatness I know it's in me
If you got greatness sing it with me

[Chorus]
