Chorus:
She said I wouldn't hold you down
But we ain't never gonna be right,
(we ain't never gonna be right)
Cause you're too caught up in these street life,
(Caught up in these street life)
But that's the only life I know, oh, oh
She said the niggas that surround you
(you ain't never gonan be right)
Cause everybody wanna be like
(Cause everybody wanna be like)
Instead of focusing on them, oh, oh, oh, oh
(Louder!) But it's the only life I know, oh, oh, oh
She don't really understand, you know
Cause it's the only life I know, oh, oh, oh
They say a woman cancels dates cause she has to
And a man cancels dates cause he has to
Well I got two dates, one with destiny
I need more, baby, don't think any less of me!
Try to joggle, slowly, but became a struggle
Sometimes I wanna hug the blood, sometimes I wanna hug you
Sometimes is about the check, sometimes is about checking it
Deniro said you gotta leave in thirty seconds flat
When the heat's coming, even if you meet someone
Leave it in the rear view, don't look back, keep running!
Left her in the passenger with the.. running
Has the eyes blinking and the beat bumping
Air to the street, I hear the sweets coming
Air to your chest, so I hear a beat from it
She fell in love with a street nigga
Tattooed my name ... figure
Chorus:
She said I wouldn't hold you down
But we ain't never gonna be right,
(we ain't never gonna be right)
Cause you're too caught up in these street life,
(Caught up in these street life)
But that's the only life I know, oh, oh
She said the niggas that surround you
(you ain't never gonan be right)
Cause everybody wanna be like
(Cause everybody wanna be like)
Instead of focusing on them, oh, oh, oh, oh
(Louder!) But it's the only life I know, oh, oh, oh
She don't really understand, you know
Cause it's the only life I know, oh, oh, oh
It's always money to be made that you can't deny
I always made mine, never one that can decide
I'm only human, so if I don't eat, I can't survive
And momma said you're not a man, if you can't provide
The.. know a shortcut, it beats me home
I work so hard to get here, now it keeps me home
By the time I get there... he'll be old
When I slide in bed, she can play, my feet be cold
Caught up in the street, life's just like my bitch said
I love the game, I love to hustle, just like Mitch said
Yeah, I can lead the game, but will they still gonna love me?
And when a new nigga come they gonna start thinking of me
Shawty watch the hustler movie she can never get
How they make so much money, but they never quit
I tell them quit for what? That's the only life they know
The streets are dirty hoe, niggas try to wife it though
Chorus:
She said I wouldn't hold you down
But we ain't never gonna be right,
(we ain't never gonna be right)
Cause you're too caught up in these street life,
(Caught up in these street life)
But that's the only life I know, oh, oh
She said the niggas that surround you
(you ain't never gonan be right)
Cause everybody wanna be like
(Cause everybody wanna be like)
Instead of focusing on them, oh, oh, oh, oh
(Louder!) But it's the only life I know, oh, oh, oh
She don't really understand, you know
Cause it's the only life I know, oh, oh, oh
[Outro:]
A guy told me one time, "Don't let yourself get attached
to anything you are not willing to walk out on in 30
seconds flat if you feel the heat around the corner."
Now, if you're on me and you gotta move when I move,
how do you expect to keep a.
.. a marriage? That's an interesting point.
What are you a Monk? I have a woman.
Yeah, what do you tell her?
I tell her that I'm a salesman.
So, if you spot me comin' around that corner.
..You just gonna walk out on this woman,
without saying goodbye? That's the discipline,
that's pretty vacant. It is what it is.
I don't have anything else!
Neither do I! A nigga like me,
man! I love the game! I love the hustle,
man! Be feeling like one of the ball player niggas
you know. Bird magic or something.
. You know a nigga got dough,
a nigga gonna live to live,
but if I live, the fans still gonna love me, man?
She said I wouldn't hold you down
But we ain't never gonna be right,
(we ain't never gonna be right)
Cause you're too caught up in these street life,
(Caught up in these street life)
But that's the only life I know, oh, oh
She said the niggas that surround you
(you ain't never gonan be right)
Cause everybody wanna be like
(Cause everybody wanna be like)
Instead of focusing on them, oh, oh, oh, oh
(Louder!) But it's the only life I know, oh, oh, oh
She don't really understand, you know
Cause it's the only life I know, oh, oh, oh
