One life
That's all you get
One chance
Better make the best of it
I know I will
Yeah
No regrets
Ugh who's program? Lee and Joe Slam [hit]
Is a slow jam for me da go with the flow, damn
You have a goal & no plan? {when I was young}
That's me hearing my old man
Who had it harder than Conan {I'm a grown man}
I wanna visit the homeland and kiss it with 4 grand
Hope not to miss it cause it was stolen
Because I came from a poor fam who didn't get no hand
My momma worked from night to mornin'
I rock and roll with a whole band cause I got soul, man
Wouldn't get it twisted if I were Mormon {The Truth}
Couldn't be da one da diss it like the law can
But I can stand the rain and even when it's stormin'
I got a tad bit older you can have a token
So you know I got ta have it is my slogan
If this is my watch, cause I see time pass by
That's why, I got 1 life da live
All my life
I finally hear
I got 1 life da live The voice I've heard
Over the years
I got 1 life da live It's time to get right
And that's real
I got 1 life da live
And after all I can get
I give it back to the kids
Let's take it back to da bridge
Man, I'm gonna need a 9 to 5
I wanna be the Don that doesn't have to work
And wish by the lake
Man, there's gotta be more to life than that
But what I did back at the crib as a kid
Now that was a mistake (that was a mistake yeah yeah)
Dang gotta suffer for what I did in the past?
Who said I had da follow all the rules
That's a choice I'ma make
Dang too many choices to choose from
You wanted to keep it real, what's the deal
Still, your boy's kinda fake
Huh cats still fake, dawg
It's getting to the point where I feel
That it's difficult to choose
Dang, I don't know what I'm gonna do next, man
Between right and wrong, but I'm strong
Takes a miracle to lose
Gotta figure it out, I gotta survive
If I'm striving to do my best to impress,
Then I'm breaking all the rules
Been paying my dues
Cause I see time pass by
That's why, I got 1 life da live
All my life
I finally hear
I got 1 life da live The voice I've heard
Over the years
I got 1 life da live It's time to get right
And that's real
I got 1 life da live
And after all I can get
I give it back to the kids
Let's take it back to the crib
Nothin' comes automatic {in life}
If you had it free you panic
Your magic could be tragic {Don't take it for granted}
Sometimes it's done as a habit
If you grab it tight ecstatic
Like a magnet you're an addict
But you gotta keep it real
What's the secret deal
She ca squeal
Maybe he'll get real jealous
And if I sell no record cause you kept wit the wrong record
And I detect it it gets hectic and I said it with no edit
{We're protected}
It ain't about bustin' a cat
We're hustling back to the beginning
Who ain't trusting the stats?
(Trustin' the stats yeah yeah)
It's all about rocking the beat
Hop in the street
Don't try to stop us we gotta eat {we gotta eat}
What choo know about being legit?
Agree and admit
Some people like seeing you quit!
{Seeing you quit}
So give me my props
Cause I see time pass by
That's why, I got 1 life da live
All my life
I finally hear
I got 1 life da live The voice I've heard
Over the years
I got 1 life da live It's time to get right
And that's real
I got 1 life da live
Over 6 million ways to die
But, I got 1 life da live
