One Life feat. J. Stone,Masego

歌詞

One life, nigga, one love Reach them heights and keep goin' up Hundred miles and runnin', we ain't slowin' up 15 Bentleys back to back, yeah, they know it's us They know it's us Hit them lights and come glow with us Yeah, throw them dice and keep rollin' up Had to earn them stripes when we was growin' up Niggas see you make it out, they hate to show you love I'm honestly a veteran An odyssey, a river ends I gotta speak it from within, yeah A lot of tree, a lot of gems Bottle all that hate and bring it over here Don't be scared, accept your fate, mind over fear How many funerals I done been to all these years? Got it tatted on my face so I don't shed a tear Just so we clear, niggas been hatin' on me my whole career Catchin' fades while the little homies hold my beer Had to move out of Compton, too much tension here Glock on my lap, I'm in this Lamborghini switchin' gears I been rappin' at this level for like 15 years My nigga Pup had been in solitary my whole career I know my purpose, kill any nigga that wanna interfere Shoot that nigga, pick up the shell, keep it for a souvenir, yeah It's hard to smile when you losin' peers Paint on that Grand National lookin' like some new veneers All black tint, they lookin' at it like, "Who in there?" This LA, think twice before movin' here You only got one life, nigga, one love Reach them heights and keep goin' up Hundred miles and runnin', we ain't slowin' up 15 Bentleys back to back, yeah, they know it's us They know it's us Hit them lights and come glow with us Yeah, throw them dice and keep rollin' up Had to earn them stripes when we was growin' up Niggas see you make it out, they hate to show you love I'm honestly a veteran An odyssey, a river ends I gotta speak it from within, yeah A lot of tree, a lot of gems Yeah, sellin' my own taste to put food on the dinner plate I used to curb syrup but it was better on that interstate You could tell what's on my belt to know I'm heavyweight My .45 compliment the Louis, I'm forever straight I was grindin' on the steps just to make a profit I was tryna get a check, I'm just bein' honest We was taught to stay solid and remain loyal My reputation good and my game royal We was cookin' crack, makin' cocaine boil Invade your block with my troopers like we came for oil We gave up our childhood just to go on Slauson When you see that yellow tape, nigga, you know it's caution Nigga, you ain't been against all odds Nigga, you ain't been to Crenshaw High, no, no Nigga, you ain't never did drive-bys Nigga, you ain't never seen shots fired Nope, quiet The Cincinnati fitted made me a marked man By the Parma blocks and 12 sittin' inside that parked van Pacin' to the store, pocket full of hard tin Let me get a Olde English, yeah, the tall can It really ain't no options when you born in Compton Shoot at your opps and keep them cops out 'til they bring the SWAT in They told Dre not to sign that nigga, "He a hot head" The Documentary went diamond, that's what brought Dot in I'm a gangbanger, fuck your top Tell your engineer make space and get your ass boxed in I never fold under pressure I ain't gon' never break I never told, I never snitch, I never hesitate to pull my .9 Empty the clip, if I get caught, I'ma do my time I took the risk, counted my losses, I'ma die for mine My kids first, my mama second On my daddy grave, you don't wanna test it, nigga One life, nigga, one love Reach them heights and keep goin' up Hundred miles and runnin', we ain't slowin' up 15 Bentleys back to back, yeah, they know it's us They know it's us Hit them lights and come glow with us Yeah, throw them dice and keep rollin' up Had to earn them stripes when we was growin' up Niggas see you make it out, they hate to show you love My job is to, somehow, make them curious enough Or persuade them, by hook or crooked To get more aware of themselves and where they came from And what they are into and what is already there, and just to bring it out This is what compels me to compel them And I will do it by whatever means necessary
