Tell me how to live
Tell me how to live
All these m***** f****** wanna
Tell me how to live
Get up in my head
Calling me the -ish
But the truth is
M***** f***** I'm the shit
Don't tell me how to live
Don't tell me how to live
Get up in my head
Try and f*** around with it
Wind up full of lead, fat lip in a ditch
And keep ya hands out my pockets
Don't you ever touch my b****, nah
Don't tell me how to live my life whoa
Don't tell me how to spend my time, no
I stand as a testament
No second guessing it
First I'm projecting it
Then I'm accepting it, yeah
I put all my best in it
All of my chest in it
Yeah, yeah
Let's go make a mess with this
Yeah, yeah
I'm so f***** blessed with this
Don't tell me how to live
Tell me how to live
Why you m***** f****** gotta'
Tell me how to live?
Get up in my head
Calling me the -ish
But the truth is
M***** f***** I'm the shit
Don't tell me how to live
Don't tell me how to live
Get up in my head
Try and f*** around with it
Ya wind up full of lead, fat lip in a ditch
And keep ya hands out my pockets
Don't you ever touch my b****, nah
I'm making music for generations
To take in and use it for celebrations
Yeah, 'cause I'm on another plane baby
First class with a phat a** calling my name baby
If it's a hit, not a miss, then it smashes
Smackin' all the people up when they smashin'
Talkin' trash, listen b****, I'm not trashin'
Make a beat, bring the heat, then cash in
Tell me how to live
Tell me how to live
All these m***** f****** wanna
Tell me how to live
Get up in my head
They calling me the -ish
But the truth is
M***** f***** I'm the shit
Don't tell me how to live
Don't tell me how to live
Get up in my head
Try and f*** around with it
Wind up full of lead, fat lip in a ditch
And keep ya hands out my pockets
Don't you ever touch my b****, nah
Don't tell me how to live my life whoa
Don't tell me how to spend my time, no
I stand as a testament
No second guessing it
First I'm projecting it
Then I'm accepting it, yeah
I put all my best in it
All of my chest in it
Yeah, yeah whoa
Let's go make a mess with this
Yeah, yeah
I'm so f***** blessed with this
I'm so f***** blessed with this
I put all of my best in this
Yeah
