[00:02.546] Ayy, yeah, yeah

[00:06.035] Yeah, yeah

[00:13.439] Ooh

[00:14.711] On stage of life, we all play the fool

[00:18.289] I paid the price just to play it cool

[00:21.560] Still in the fight, don't know what to do

[00:24.479] Super

[00:24.932]

[00:25.356] One day in southern California, I was moving free

[00:28.756] Hopped in my ride and hit the corner, what a view to see

[00:31.734] Had on a t-shirt, no designs, left all my jewelry

[00:35.146] I did my research, my surroundings wasn't new to me

[00:38.248] Scuff on my black and white Chucks

[00:39.788] And nothing but passion, life dust

[00:41.396] I'm rushin' at a liquor store on 77th where they be busting at all unfamiliar

[00:47.095] Where silence can kill you

[00:48.520] And that noise that come from boys that had 'em having to wheel you

[00:51.923] Around on linear ramps

[00:53.299] And my town thе city of champs

[00:54.925] If a bullet rip through your spine and you down in plenty

[00:57.633] Advancе to avenge your loss of mobility

[01:00.253] Accosting your enemies

[01:01.779] But in an organization, we play positions to remedy

[01:05.043] That's why my OG told me live

[01:05.947]

[01:06.238] Live, die, pray, shine, bitch, I stay true to this (He told me live)

[01:09.527] Live, die, pray, shine, bitch, I stay true to this (My big brother told me live)

[01:12.327] Live, die, pray, shine, bitch, I stay true to this

[01:16.001] Bitch, I stay true to this

[01:16.839]

[01:18.013] 'Cause the whole world is here for you (Live, die, pray, shine, bitch, I stay true to this)

[01:21.354] The sky is clear for you (Live, die, pray, shine, bitch, I stay true to this)

[01:24.872] The life is here for you (Live, die, pray, shine, bitch, I stay true to this)

[01:28.388] I'll tell you what to do (Bitch, I stay true to this, bitch, I stay true to this)

[01:31.271] Stay true

[01:32.213]

[01:32.781] Hood niggas do hood nigga shit

[01:34.502] Good niggas do good, the would niggas do the would nigga shit

[01:37.805] The hood looking for the jugg, they pull if you got a hood membership

[01:41.132] On the other side

[01:42.275] Of all the love advice

[01:43.754] The OG gave me, he said, "Smokey, baby, you could be anything that you wanna be"

[01:47.008] I know you got love for these city streets

[01:48.754] But, nigga, your GPA is a free admission to the top of the industry

[01:51.912] I know you capable of holding your own

[01:53.584] But if they hating, better pick up the phone

[01:55.210] You got a whole army ready to go

[01:56.882] Before they get you, swear the shit'll explode

[01:58.601] 'Cause I give a **** if I go to jail (Go to jail, go to jail)

[02:02.251] Tell all your enemies go to hell (Go to hell, go to hell)

[02:05.170] 'Cause your big homie won't leave you lonely, he gon' show up and empty out holy grail

[02:08.787] On my Sauconys and fried bologna, they gon' fall when it's 4DL

[02:11.345] I don't care whether I live

[02:11.968]

[02:12.400] Live, die, pray, shine, bitch, I stay true to this (My young homies gon' live)

[02:15.676] Live, die, pray, shine, bitch, I stay true to this (I lay down, just live)

[02:19.005] Live, die, pray, shine, bitch, I stay true to this (Yeah)

[02:22.466] Bitch, I stay true to this

[02:37.682] Stay true

[02:38.146]

[02:39.591] Be who you're destined to be

[02:40.903] Things will entice you, but your life is more than testing the streets

[02:44.051] Sex with a vessel that's empty

[02:46.094] Nest with a skeleton

[02:46.868] Get arrested, then them cells will connect you

[02:49.754] With a lesson, should've picked up when wrestling action figures

[02:52.343] You've been hustling backwards, nigga

[02:54.020] Uphill on a treadmill

[02:55.154] Now they will look like Subzero, they could creep on you, get your cap peeled

[02:58.680] How many more Black lives we gon' lose getting caught in the rap wheel?

[03:01.766] Chasing the money and big cars, pulling up looking like Bat wheels

[03:05.273] Then when you get it and learn that it's never enough, go tell me how that feels

[03:08.528] As kids, we played don't step on the crack, our parents didn't know that crack killed

[03:11.850] Now many of them lay among daffodils

[03:13.813] Put 'em to rest like chamomile

[03:15.238] What if they best life wasn't as stress infested?

[03:17.460] When they got tested, would they live?

[03:18.005]

[03:18.508] Live, die, pray, shine, bitch, I stay true to this (Can you live?)
