Life We Chose

[Verse]

This time I really got a feeling
I look up to myself like there's mirrors on ceiling
See I see why we high
While they trying to play the villain
While they saying how they thugs
I'm just trying to get a million
Million dollars, million views
Now it's time to make these moves
Right to the top ima take ya'll too
I can see the crown ima take that too
Looking at the ground, we ain't coming down
And we can't slow down
Look at the stars, in the foreign cars
All night they out
We trying to catch stars
I ain't even really going that hard
If you saying you on the race
In that case it's mopeds against Nascar
We moving fast forward
Ya'll dudes on slow down, rewind
To get to where we at you need to pay dues, not free time

[Chorus]

We've been on the grind now
Trying to get that shine now
Ain't that hard to find now
We gotta make it out
Cause we on the same block
So look we can't stop
Who saying we ain't hot
We bout to make it now
Go time and they know
Go overtime and it show
So who we trying to compare to
I came through, it ain't fair to
But this the life we chose
Now it's all we know, all we know
This the life we chose, yeah
This the life we chose
Man

[Verse 2]

Now it's all getting bigger
We pulling the trigger
I've been taking these shots
So I get my shot what'd you figure
While they taking them pictures
You trying to handle your liquor
While I'm just handling business
So now my mind moving quicker
See that 9-5 never seemed to ride with me
Minimum wage ain't fly with me
I'm more G5 or marquee
Or that G6, on the yacht never get sea sick
Seem like all these new rappers
Always talking bout how they wanna be sick
But I send them all to the ER
Who the new young rap leaders, we are
Empire like Rome
Keep it 300, young Caesar
Young Leonidas, look what you ignited
I kill it like Sparta, you can't fight it
Word

[Chorus]

We've been on the grind now
Trying to get that shine now
Ain't that hard to find now
We gotta make it out
Cause we on the same block
So look we can't stop
Who saying we ain't hot
We bout to make it now
Go time and they know
Go overtime and it show
So who we trying to compare to
I came through, it ain't fair to
But this the life we chose
Now it's all we know, all we know
This the life we chose, yeah
This the life we chose
Man

[Verse 3]

This is what we chose and we were chosen for it
Ya'll recycle lines, I'm causing global warming
Cause I bring the heat like I'm out in Miami
Flows for award shows, waiting on my Grammy
Wait on the Eiffel Tower, I'm chilling at the Louvre
La Mascotte got me eating like Parisians do
Out in Europe and you know the kid is looking clean
All or nothing, man for us there ain't no in between
I'm at the Colosseum, I'm screaming Carpe Diem
Some people love the legends, some people wanna be them
I just wanna be clear
I want it all, I'm working hard so every year is my year
We stay around, we don't play around
Man, no this isn't a game
Go to sleep wake up in Spain
Got a dream I'll take this worldwide
So my whole world can change
Woah, I got the sound from the town they forgot about
I chose success and I think it's time we got it now

[Chorus]

We've been on the grind now
Trying to get that shine now
Ain't that hard to find now
We gotta make it out
Cause we on the same block
So look we can't stop
Who saying we ain't hot
We bout to make it now
Go time and they know
Go overtime and it show
So who we trying to compare to
I came through, it ain't fair to
But this the life we chose
Now it's all we know, all we know
This the life we chose, yeah
This the life we chose
Man

[Outro]

In the city where they want it all
So they thinking they were born to ball
With all these fast cars and cameras
And all these Marilyns and Pamelas
Everybody want it
Yeah, they said they want it
Yeah, they trying to get it
But I said we on it
Because this the life we chose
Now it's all we know, all we know
This the life we chose
Yeah, this the life we chose man
