Life Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Hold up, me and my dogs so day one
You would think we didn't grow up
'Cause all they say, "The good die young, all the good don't last"
So what? I brought a record deal to the middle of the map
And I still ain't blow up
Fuck fame, we don't need no one, me and my team pour up

All day roll up, celebratin' every day we don't spend poorer
Hesitation never get a closed mouth fed
Hesitation never booked a ten day tour, but I did, I did
And that was as a motherfucking kid
In the hood I was a young Brad Pitt
'Cause I was that shit, and that's when I was hopping on the 19
Grinding, plotting on this, so I need that pronto
Dreaming of the view on the top floor
Three million views on a talk show
Now I'm finna tell the world who I talk for
This is for the ones
Ridin' 'round smoking that dope
Ridin' 'round smoking that dope
This is for the ones
High 'cause the flow so dope
High 'cause the flow so dope

[Pre-Chorus]
If you been a real motherfucker your whole life
Live the hard knock life and you can't pay bills, shit
That's all right, I feel that
But if you're gon' chill, motherfucker, don't hold back, smoke up
And we can live a lil' bit, 'cause we ain't worried 'bout shit, yeah
We ain't worried 'bout shit
[Chorus]
You ain't livin' this life though, you ain't livin' my life (Live your life)
Can't do it
You ain't livin' this life though, you ain't livin' my life (Live your life)
I been through it
You ain't livin' this life though, you ain't livin' this life (Live your life)
Can't do it
You ain't livin' my life though, you ain't livin' my life (Just live your life)
I been through it (Let me talk, uh)

[Verse 2]
I remember you when you was just a teen (Who?)
Battle rappin' on 116th (You)
Take the rappin' to the square, meet B
Posted in the trap with the shrimp fo' weeks (What happened?)
I love you, C-L-E, that's why I'm tryna take us to the T-O-P
I'm sick of seein' suckas busy, always tryna leech
Lucky I ain't never charged a hundred fifty for a feat
'Cause everybody want some
Seen me on the television once, think I'm ballin', but really I ain't got none
Why you think I never changed? Y'all don't get it
Tell me, how would you feel
If you went back home and the love's all gone 'cause you always kept it too real?
Tell them bum motherfuckers go and get it on your own
This is for the ones who stuck with your boy like glue
One time for the crew, the ones who'd never leave me for the loot
The ones who if I need gon' shoot (Grr)
This is for the ones who smokin' that dope
Ridin' 'round smokin' that dope, this is for the ones
High 'cause the flow so dope
High 'cause the flow so dope, Kells
[Pre-Chorus]
If you been a real motherfucker your whole life
Live the hard knock life and you can't pay bills, shit
That's all right, I feel that
But if you're gon' chill, motherfucker, don't hold back, smoke up
And we can live a lil' bit, 'cause we ain't worried 'bout shit, yeah
We ain't worried 'bout shit

[Chorus]
You ain't livin' this life though, you ain't livin' my life (Live your life)
Can't do it
You ain't livin' this life though, you ain't livin' my life (Live your life)
I been through it
You ain't livin' this life though, you ain't livin' this life (Live your life)
Can't do it
You ain't livin' my life though, you ain't livin' my life (Just live your life)
I been through it (Uh)

[Interlude: Cameron Harl & Machine Gun Kelly]
Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Machine Gun Kelly
Haha, ow

[Verse 3]
Ain't nobody love me as a broke motherfucker (Nope)
When I was a youngin' from the O, motherfucker (Oh)
See me on the come up, never spoke, motherfucker (Mm)
Tell me how you figure that I owe motherfuckers (Huh?)
Now I'm thinkin' 'bout 'em, man, I own motherfuckers (Mm)
I be chargin' twenty just to host motherfuckers
I was just with ***** in the Ghost, motherfuckers
Y'all need to worry 'bout your car notes, motherfuckers (Ha)
Ayy, can I live?
Maybe I could if everybody put one foot in my kicks (Bitch)
And realize I own this shit, give me one good spliff to the face
Put the city on my back like capes (Right)
Super OG in the papes, realest motherfucker in the race
Young Kells, put the name to the face, uh
