Deserve

[Hook: Kyle Bent]

We deserve this life, we deserve this life

We deserve this life, we deserve this life

We deserve this life, we deserve this life

We deserve this life, we deserve this life

[Verse 1: Joyner Lucas]

Reminiscing back when a nigga used to get laughed at

And now we laugh at you

Remember when you used to talk about me?

Well look where that got you, huh

No worse feeling than someone that doubt you, huh

'Cus the people don't really give a fuck about you, huh

Then you start popping and everybody call you

Even yo ex-bitch wanna be up all around you, huh

Look, fall back (fall back)

'Cus they don't know about that life

I'm drinking all the Henny, get mad right

And forget what a nigga did last night

I'm turned up and I got mad liquor

I been a half-nigga since I been half-white

And now I'm half man, half amazing

Trying to stay true in this plastic nation

We American, ain't we?

They're ready to blame me

Trying to get rich so to hell if it ain't me

You know they just - they're ready to flame me

'Cus I ball like Garnett but I better than KG

Two white hoes want a play day on it

Ten Puerto Ricans and some Reggae Tony

Ass so fat you could vacay on it

I don't even need class 'cus my A game on and I'm ready to die

Okay I'm ready to die

Die for my beliefs

Die for how to beef

Die inside the streets

Die and not believe

Die they watching me

To die I gotta leave

Die for my life

Die for my rights

Die for my lord

Die for my war

Die for my story

Die for my glory

This is top 40, bitch I'm not sorry

No, I'm not for the ride

To my dead niggas, I said

You could meet me at the top of the sky

I can feel it on my soul, I know God is alive

And the devil's a lie, shit

Okay the devil's alive

Been ahead of my time since I was 9, shit

I was nicer to niggas in '96

[Bridge: Kyle Bent]

It's been a long time coming, now we up to something for real

It's been a long time coming, trying to turn some hundreds to mills

And trust me this ain't happen over night

Had to feel them struggles 'fore we seen the highs

Knew if I got the chance I'd turn this to a heist

Had to steal the moment, couldn't pay the price

And I wasn't thinking twice - listen

[Verse 2: Kyle Bent]

I been working for a better life

Remember waking in the dead of night

That was my next plan, next plan

Can't stand the fact that we ain't living right

Head filled with problems like we live with lice

Times were dirty like their issues mixed with Sprite

But I always knew my future still was bright

(Always knew my future still was bright)

We some chandeliers been in shambles, but I persevere

Life's a gamble, take a chance and roll a pair

Of some dice, break the ice like polar bears

We gon' own the year, we gon' break the surface

We gon' switch the plans, we gon' make 'em nervous

It's a new religion, we gon' change the sermon

We gon' wake them up, we gon' raise the curtain

Show them what's been lurking I been learning

That being myself is therapeutic

Crazy how much people out here really lose it

Trying to be somebody that they isn't used to

Understand you can't be replicated and the story you living is Hella crucial

Ain't nobody in this world could ever do you

Ain't nobody in this world that's better suited, baby

[Hook: Kyle Bent]

We deserve this life, we deserve this life

We deserve this life, we deserve this life

We deserve this life, we deserve this life

We deserve this life, we deserve this life
