What I Live For

[Chorus]
Tell me what you gonna die for?
Tell me what you gonna live for?
No matter how much time it takes
I'll find a way to get to what I live for
This is what I live for
And this is what I live for
No matter what the time or place
I'll find a way to get to what I live for

[Verse 1]
Now this is all what I've been thinking about
Lately it just seems that expectations have been way too overwhelming
Seen the best of the best breaking down
Crying from the stress under pressure
From excellent behavior that's expected from their parents
Who pushing 'em to a lifestyle that they don't want
They be claiming that they know what's best
I was blessed that I can do what I do with music just for fun
Yeah it helps me pass time with lil' bits of hope of fame
Make a hit with J. Cole, yeah that's the day
Just wanna live that lifestyle to the biggest
Gives that drive like roadside assistance
This is all I got 'cause all I want is the recognition
Practice flowing on a beat, not a day I'm missin'
Back when I was embarrassed to give my raps out to listen
Now my lyrics are a motivation and a reason I'm still living
You feel me? (yeah)

[Chorus]
Tell me what you gonna die for?
Tell me what you gonna live for?
No matter how much time it takes
I'll find a way to get to what I live for
This is what I live for
And this is what I live for
No matter what the time or place
I'll find a way to get to what I live for
(Living for y'all)

[Verse 2]
And to all my friends, to all my fam
Can't thank you enough, no not enough
For what you've done to help me up
Ey, y'all the best
I'm not the greatest at expressing my gratitude, no sappiness
But from the bottom of my heart, thank you all
I 'preciate you all more than I could ever say
I cherish the time we spend everyday
Y'all don't know how much each of you means to me
If I wasn't surrounded, don't know where I'd be
Somewhere off the balcony, a penitentiary
Who knows, it's hard to tell what the future holds
I grew up broke without anything to count except my blessings
It motivated me to be the change that I wanna see
I believe everyone I met in my life for a reason
Y'all are why I'm still living
Foreal man (so tell me y'all)

[Chorus]
Tell me what you gonna die for?
Tell me what you gonna live for?
No matter how much time it takes
I'll find a way to get to what I live for
This is what I live for
And this is what I live for
No matter what the time or place
I'll find a way to get to what I live for
(Living for y'all)
(Y'all are what I live for)
