Only Life I Know

[Hook] She said I wanna hold you down, but we ain’t never gonna be right ‘cause you too caught up in the street life But that’s the only life I know She said them niggas that's around you, they ain't never gonna be right ‘cause everybody wanna be right Instead of focusing on their own, dough But this the only life I know But this the only life I know [Verse 1: Fabolous] They say a woman cancel dates ‘cause she has to And a man cancel dates ‘cause he has two Well, I got two dates, one with destiny I need more, baby, don’t think any less of me Tryna juggle, slowly but came with struggle Sometimes I wanna hug the block, sometimes I wanna hug you Sometimes its about the check, sometimes its about checking that De niro said you gotta leave in 30 seconds, flat When the heat’s coming even if you need someone Leave it in the rear view, don’t look back, keep running Left her in the passenger with the Jeep running Hazard lights blinking and the beat bumping Ear to the streets, I hear the sweeps coming Air to your chest so I hear a beat from it She fell in love with a street nigga Tattoo my name on her petite figure [Hook] [Verse 2: Fabolous] There’s always money to be made, that you can’t deny I always made mine, never one who can't decide I’m only human so if I don’t eat I can’t survive And mama said you’re not a man if you can’t provide The summers know a shortcut, it beats me home I worked so hard to get here, now it keeps me going By the time I get in what she made the eat be old When I slide in bed she complain my feet be cold Caught up in the street life just like my bitch said I love the game, I love the hustle, just like Mitch said Yeah, I can leave the game, but is they still gonna love me? And when a new nigga come they gonna stop thinking of me Shawty watch the hustle movie she can never get How they make so much money, but they never quit I tell her quit for what? That’s the only life they know The street’s a dirty ho, niggas try to wife it, though [Hook] [Outro]
