Only Life I Know

Lyrics

[Verse 1: Bun B] I know some pawns and I know rooks I know killers that read books that can snatch a soul with no looks I see bosses cut their own work To build a million dollar team and lose it all to lazy phone work We watched it bubble 'til it residued Fiends hit it and they was left subdued, so ain't shit left to lose We were left to choose from what other people threw away So fuck a rose out of the concrete, we grew a plague Now who's to say how far we go and who ain't making it? But if we get a chance, man I'll be damned if we ain't taking it 'Cause you don't get what you deserve or what you fighting for So when you hear that thunder, you know what's coming, that lightning hoe And you be dumb fella not to keep your umbrella Dealing with the cutthroaters and the scum dwellers But it ain't better just because it's shining Understand just because you son of man, that don't make you son of mine [Verse 2: Smoke DZA] It's big dawg shit, the big dawgs endorsed it Quick flosses, sick nauseous Packs get shit flipped and hip tossed-ed It's just another day at the office I know some villains and some known crooks I got some seven-digit hustlers that I rocked within my phone book Yeah, colossal nigga, everything is life-sized Got me looking at the money with the Charleston White eye Higher than most, flyer than most Ask the dope boys, they all biased to Smoke All blazing big, wire payments Whole jewelry kit Greg Yuna curation I need a hundred clip to deal further I got a tourist that wasn't born in May, legal concealed burner 50K could be the real murder But this ain't beef, it's a Trillburger [Verse 3: Flee Lord] Lord Lord! From NY to Port Arthur, we chewing lobster Break your ass off proper, couldn't fix it with like four doctors Yeah, I come from Queens and my vehicle Europe My high beams all clean, you can see when I pull up Still wearing Yeezys, despite the controversy Got my riders out in West and my vikings out in Jersey LordMobb lieutenant, .4-4 by the rented Before we play the field, my Lord, we all got a scrimmage Veins full of ice, split the chains, not the white Save the games for the kids, this a Range, not a bike Bun and Delgado and kush with a yellow bottle Nigga fuck a skinny leg, I'm coming with ghetto models My waves all complete, lot of days in the street Little sip of white Henny and a chop of the P, uh-huh According to the law, y'all was born on a tour Got invited and indicted, we was scoring off the raw My denims cost a G, I'm vintage on the beat In one verse, I'll expose you and your image on the street Rapping with some legends, I ain't capping in this session This the school of hard knocks and you have to learn your lesson [Outro: Haile Supreme] Stay away, all I've ever known Cut my losses, I'm here for what I'm owed It's the only life I've ever known It's the only life I've ever known, ooh
