Live By

Lyrics

[Intro: Lil Keke] It's something special about a street nigga We cut different [Bridge] Never left the game, done overcame the pressure Living like a King, this dream was something special Aye, yeah It feel good when you stand strong Go get the paper, bring it back and put your mans on [Verse 1] Suffered, through the pain and sweat, with no regret These niggas hungry, tell 'em the tables set Now say your grace, amen I remember cooking, hitting stains in a Days Inn Every day we prayed for better, but got worse Its feeling like we skipping the gift, to get the curse So, where the purse, the money first Niggas wanna take the lead, but can't succeed A rare breed, no greed Never ever bite the hand that gotta feed You, be careful how you move and what you do And you never judge a man unless you walked in his shoes [Chorus] Live by it, die by it I Live by it, die by it Why? If you live by it, you die by it Don't cry Keep it solid, look a man in his eye Because I [Bridge] Never left the game, done overcame the pressure Living like a King, this dream was something special Aye, yeah It feel good when you stand strong Go get the paper, bring it back and put your mans on [Verse 2] Comeback with the sack on my back and put the team on Reminiscing puffing them squares, until the green gone Now the screens on, and the lights bright Don Ke, I went self-made to get my life right Yeah, I can see clearly My niggas doing time, yeah I'm missing them dearly Fuck all you haters, man I say that sincerely And if it ain't my people, I don't let them come near me They movin' too queerly, its more money herely I do it for the streets, and I'm happy they feel me So good Lord steer me, I'm taking a walk And I just speak it as a legend, and they loving the talk Don Ke [Chorus: Lil Keke] Live by it, die by it I Live by it, die by it Why? If you live by it, you die by it Don't cry Keep it solid, look a man in his eye Because I Never left the game, done overcame the pressure Living like a King, this dream was something special Aye, yeah It feel good when you stand strong Go get the paper, bring it back and put your mans on
