LIFESPAN

[Intro]
Listen carefullly

[Verse 1]
God bless the children
Mama said that pimpin' is relentless
Prolly 'cause my pops was part player
Double breasted blazer with the coordinated layers
Sharp as a laser with them Stacey alligators

Before untimely allegations called for cancellations
We were steady playing Robert Kelly on full blast
Around the same time Aaliyah passed in a plane crash
Gravy mash splashed on my Dame Dash collection

Back when I was yelling Roc-A-Fеlla from the husky section
We wеre dressed in white tees and Timberlands
Chanting every line from "Many Men"
When a pack of Now and Laters only cost us 50 Cent
See I spent
Summers at my granny's
Then I was chasing panties
Hated using rubbers
I was banking on a Plan B
Ducking the company of a mini me by any means see
I was shareholding my legacy back

With a couple of silly missteps
When I was drowning in shallow decisions
And swimming in repentance
Jehovah as my witness
I pray it's all forgiven
But you know you how that go

[Chorus]
We all got our demons despite the rhyme or reason
I tried to turn the page, but landed in Ephesians
I was reading how the war ain't from flesh
Turned the TV on, devil kneeling on my neck

I tried to catch my breath, but these vices enticing
Shortening my lifespan
I tried to catch my breath, but these vices enticing
Shortening my lifespan

[Verse 2]
Look
Coochie is currency and currently her rent is later then her menstruation which keeps her contemplating
To make her commas from Kama Sutra with suitors in designer
Who leave the tags on just to remind her
That the power of the dollar make the hoochies holla
By any means
As long as that guap green as avocado
You can park your El Dorado to watch her swallow
The sorrow that she wallow in
Daddy issues bottled in

And bottled up
Drinking Crown Royal by the cup
But she ain't felt like a queen since the summer of '17
Graduated then it all got complicated
She was looking for her liberation
But found herself taking payments at a red light

Head'll make you bust a taillight if ya' car ain't parked
She only work after dark
To serve a spoon of the poon tang
To a dude named Raekwon no Wu-Tang
Paying for a taste of the ghost face
That he heard about from word of mouth
It's uncertain who she slurpin' now
But I bet he cum laude all on her body
Good Lordy
Good Lordy
Yea
But who are me to judge

[Chorus]
We all got our demons despite the rhyme or reason
I tried to turn the page, but landed in Ephesians
I was reading how the war ain't from flesh
Turned the TV on, devil kneeling on my neck

I tried to catch my breath, but these vices enticing
Shortening my lifespan
I tried to catch my breath, but these vices enticing
Shortening my lifespan

We all got our demons despite the rhyme or reason
I tried to turn the page, but landed in Ephesians
I was reading how the war ain't from flesh
Turned the TV on, devil kneeling on my neck

I tried to catch my breath, but these vices enticing
Shortening my lifespan
I tried to catch my breath, but these vices enticing
Shortening my lifespan

Lifespan lifespan
Lifespan lifespan
