Life

[Verse 1]

Hold up, me and my dogs so  day one

You would think we didn't grow up

'Cause all they say, "The good die young, all the good don't last"

So what? I brought a record deal to the middle of the map

And I still ain't blow up

Fuck fame, we don't need no one, me and my team pour up

All day roll up, celebratin' every day we don't spend poorer

Hesitation never get a closed mouth fed

Hesitation never booked a ten day tour, but I did, I did

And that was as a motherfucking kid

In the hood I was a young Brad Pitt

'Cause I was that shit, and that's when I was hopping on the 19

Grinding, plotting on this, so I need that pronto

Dreaming of the view on the top floor

Three million views on a talk show

Now I'm finna tell the world who I talk for

This is for the ones

Ridin' 'round smoking that dope

Ridin' 'round  smoking that dope

This is for the ones

High 'cause the flow so dope

High 'cause the flow so dope

[Pre-Chorus]

If you been a real motherfucker your whole life

Live the hard knock life and you can't pay bills, shit

That's all right, I feel that

But if you're gon' chill, motherfucker, don't hold back, smoke up

And we can live a lil' bit, 'cause we ain't worried 'bout shit, yeah

We ain't worried 'bout shit

[Chorus]

You ain't livin' this life though, you ain't livin' my life (Live your life)

Can't do it

You ain't livin' this life though, you ain't livin' my life (Live your life)

I been through it

You ain't livin' this life though, you ain't livin' this life (Live your life)

Can't do it

You ain't livin' my life though, you ain't livin' my life (Just live your life)

I been through it (Let me talk; uh)

[Verse 2]

I remember you when you was just a teen (Who?)

Battle rappin' on 116th (You)

Take the rappin' to the square, meet B

Posted in the trap with the shrimp fo' weeks (What happened?)

I love you, C-L-E, that's why I'm tryna take us to the T-O-P

I'm sick of seein' suckas busy, always tryna leech

Lucky I ain't never charged a hundred fifty for a feat

'Cause everybody want some

Seen me on the television once, think I'm ballin', but really I ain't got none

Why you think I never changed? Y'all don't get it

Tell me, how would you feel

If you went back home and the love's all gone

'Cause you always kept it too real?

Tell them bum mo'fuckers go and get it on your own

This is for the ones who stuck with your boy like glue

One time for the crew, the ones who'd never leave me for the loot

The ones who if I need gon' shoot (Grr)

This is for the ones who smokin' that dope

Ridin' 'round smokin' that dope, this is for the ones

High 'cause the flow so dope

High 'cause the flow so dope, Kells

[Pre-Chorus]

If you been a real motherfucker your whole life

Live the hard knock life and you can't pay bills, shit

That's all right, I feel that

But if you're gon' chill, motherfucker, don't hold back, smoke up

And we can live a lil' bit, 'cause we ain't worried 'bout shit, yeah

We ain't worried 'bout shit

[Chorus]

You ain't livin' this life though, you ain't livin' my life (Live your life)

Can't do it

You ain't livin' this life though, you ain't livin' my life (Live your life)

I been through it

You ain't livin' this life though, you ain't livin' this life (Live your life)

Can't do it

You ain't livin' my life though, you ain't livin' my life (Just live your life)

I been through it (Uh)

[Interlude: Cameron Harl & Machine Gun Kelly]

Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Machine Gun Kelly

Haha, ow

[Verse 3]

Ain't nobody love me as a broke motherfucker (Nope)

When I was a youngin' from the O, motherfucker (Oh)

See me on the come up, never spoke, motherfucker (Mm)

Tell me how you figure that I owe motherfuckers (Huh?)

Now I'm thinkin' 'bout 'em, man, I own motherfuckers (Mm)

I be chargin' twenty just to host motherfuckers

I was just with ***** in the Ghost, motherfuckers

Y'all need to worry 'bout your car notes, motherfuckers (Ha)

Ayy, can I live?

Maybe I could if everybody put one foot in my kicks (Bitch)

And realize I own this shit, give me one good spliff to the face

Put the city on my back like capes (Right)

Super OG in the papes, realest motherfucker in the race

Young Kells, put the name to the face, uh
