[Verse 1]
Determined to be a winner, silence out the screams of the critics that I shake hands with
For networking I was lost and really miserable, doing everything but rapping and writing music
Gave up on my dream and I done seen it happen over and over my coworkers at they lunch, which seem boring and hopeless
I lived a life that I couldn't go back to, nightmares midday, making money lack care, how it happen this way
The shit that you were born wit, learn on your own, by 14 search for it but that feeling was gone
Aye how you do that shit, loving people express emotions, I wonder if I can do it, let's just get it in motion
I had women I could fuck on sight, I sold that so I roll up, smoke all night
But it ain't nothing when the world at yo fingertips, heart feel empty and all you can think about is pimpin' makin' riches
I spent many nights in that jeep, eyes wet in the zone thinkin' where would I be
If I just had somebody that I could trust, engage conversation, tell me young nigga just be patient, you only live one life
[Chorus]
Yeah shit be on my mind all the time (you only live one life)
Niggas don't really think about that thang down here (you only live one life)
I do everything I can do right now ya nahmsayin', you only live one life
[Verse 2]
I ain't believe when, they said the top was like the desert is, I wonder where my pops was
When I needed a bigger brother I felt like my self esteem was low and out of commission but fuck it I got a team
Man I owe you mufuckas forreal, I couldn't do it if I tried on my best damn day
Not on my own that Patron hurt my stomach and shit, so I'm sippin' Honey Jack Daniels straight in Chicago nippy
It's snowin' outside, yeah it get cold, plus my lyrics I'm chilly, my adlibs froze
I'm tryna find a soft spot in my heart, it gettin' harder when the niggas you been rootin' for, been givin' you a lot of bullshit
Hollywood cautious I remain, why you checkin' on me, nigga you'd be the same
And I can see 'em gettin' nervous, I'm workin' doin' better, I ain't even make slice bread or cheddar
But I forgive you niggas, I hope its the same when I pull up in that all black range, you only live one life
[Chorus]
Ya'll boys better get on ya'll money man, you only live one life
Stop worryin' bout what I'm doin', you only live one life
Act like you know, work like it
Puttin' everything I got into this
And I said that I would do this
Started out alone, build your own bandwagon to carry you on
When you trust it in the heart of a man
The same nigga be the reason if you fly or stand
You only live one life
