[Intro]
Now stay right there, buster. the first time I swing, the second time I shoot and I do both good
At that point a mc stepped out on stage and soon -
[Verse 1]
I can show you when it's spinning when to throw down
Set you on your block and make your partners more proud
Where I'm from they cover me so much that I drown
Know you want the spot but don't nobody tell how
I can tell you all about the game and what I found
Met a couple gangsters, met a couple more clowns
Shown up to the cook but they ain't ever want cow
All in different ways I'm trying for the same crown
Don't let 'em get you caught 'cause in the street that equal death
I'm just trying to reach your heart see I done put some things to rest
Man you ain't even by yourself and gotta wait to get your cheque
I can show you an advance to put some hair upon your chest
[Chorus]
See keeping it above 'cause no-one wanna stand ground
I'm the one to stand up and I'm the one to punch down
Imagine all the numbers if we hit the same crowd
Make them put they hands up, make them put they hands out
Don't get them let you gassed like a bagpipe
I been on the crash since my past life
People acting brash when they glass type
When the crowd tough play it better than the last hype
[Verse 2]
I was on the humble 'til they put me on the counterstrike
Everybody claiming sick 'cause now they on that mask life
I ain't trying to babysit just prove me wrong and make me rich
I done had the both of it and trapping never made me this
I was in the jungle, hit a vulture with the bait and switch
Even though you made it with your quips you better have a clip
Numbers do lie if them numbers is counterfeit
You ain't gave nothing to the fam, how you claim rich?
Talking like you way to big to take a risk
Anything you want, I let you have it like a make a wish
I'm just trying to show there's more to life than what you barking with
But when you got some cheese it make everything look easy
[Chorus]
See keeping it above 'cause no-one wanna stand ground
I'm the one to stand up and I'm the one to punch down
Imagine all the numbers if we hit the same crowd
Make them put they hands up, make them put they hands out
Don't get them let you gassed like a bagpipe
I been on the crash since my past life
People acting brash when they glass type
When the crowd tough play it better than the last hype
[Verse 3]
I'm the biggest hustler I can get you more pay
Let my people do the work I never seen a long day
I ain't made a drop and I can get you more plays
Anything go live and you can charge it to the game
I'm the up and coming, check my record by the page
Know some people coming up but they ain't living what they claim
We just made an open, they be quick to roll out
If they ain't got [?] what you talking 'bout
[Chorus/Outro]
See keeping it above 'cause no-one wanna stand ground
I'm the one to stand up and I'm the one to punch down
Imagine all the numbers if we hit the same crowd
Make them put they hands up, make them put they hands out
See keeping it above 'cause no-one wanna stand ground
I'm the one to stand up and I'm the one to punch down
Imagine all the numbers if we hit the same crowd
Make them put they hands up, make them put they hands out
Don't get them let you gassed like a bagpipe
I been on the crash since my past life
People acting brash when they glass type
When the crowd tough play it better than the last hype
Don't get them let you gassed like a bagpipe
I been on the crash since my past life
People acting brash when they glass type
When the crowd tough play it better than the last hype
Past Life was written by Solemn Brigham.

Solemn Brigham shared some insight into this song on an episode of the Fly Fidelity Podcast:
I don’t want to say [“Past Life” is] one of the more serious songs because every one of the joints is fun and “Past Life” is definitely fun, but I was … just trying to express some of the things that I’ve l...
