Lifers

[Chorus] Ain’t that a miss? They wanna see me broke while I’m tryna end up rich They puffin’ on that “La La” tryna do it big Best be ‘Ready to Die’ I, ain’t playing with this, kid Ain’t that a miss? They wanna see me broke while I’m tryna end up rich They puffin’ on that “La La” tryna do it big Best be ‘Ready to Die’ I, ain’t playing with this, kid [Verse 1] Now way before Jay was in the game, I’m talkin’ like Daddy Kane Was sittin’ on MCA and Biggie started his reign And ‘Ready to Die’ dropped, add on say 5 days My mama went did the same ’94 here I came Right on time no delay, they say was nothing strange But a full head of hair, right there I call my mane The Lion in this, Jungle, rumble never humble Stumble? Never crumble Where are you gonna run to fool? Get ya life done too, realised it’s true Nobody else has got my back in this world of cruel Misdemeanours with people who never seen ya But wanna take everything you’ve ever made with subpoenas Duck it, ain’t nothing meaner Trust that I’m suttin’ cleaner Buckin’ like Angelina till my tomb puts me deeper In the ground, underground I’ll make ground Shake the heavens and the Earth with the sound What now, huh [Chorus] Ain’t that a miss? They wanna see me broke while I’m tryna end up rich They puffin’ on that “La La” tryna do it big Best be ‘Ready to Die’ I, ain’t playing with this, kid Ain’t that a miss? They wanna see me broke while I’m tryna end up rich They puffin’ on that “La La” tryna do it big Best be ‘Ready to Die’ I, ain’t playing with this, kid [Verse 2] T-H-I-S-I-S Best give me more room I’ve been stressed, ah yes a mess now meet your DOOM Like MF, impressed with less Now who wants to Go against the best? I bet you dudes can’t do Anything I set the test I guess you lose So better yet, pass it next let’s see if it’s true If these beats and grooves can reach animate dudes and teach damaging crews To reach further than you Much higher than what they do, I’m tired of how they move Inspired by all the lying so wired they getting groomed But who really cares I do my dirt all by my lonely, I don’t take stares Elevate till I get on ‘G and I’m nearly there Everyone here got heights they fear But never go let it stop you from reaching your destiny Trust me it’s getting clear Who for me is really there and who’s just here to take what I make within a snare [Chorus] Ain’t that a miss? They wanna see me broke while I’m tryna end up rich They puffin’ on that “La La” tryna do it big Best be ‘Ready to Die’ I, ain’t playing with this, kid Ain’t that a miss? They wanna see me broke while I’m tryna end up rich They puffin’ on that “La La” tryna do it big Best be ‘Ready to Die’ I, ain’t playing with this, kid
