"Let Me Live" Lyrics

Let me live
Let me live
Let me live
Let me live

Ya'll niggas really know me from the stories I tell (tell)
From the lifestyle I lead and the records I sell (sell)
Caught up in situations detrimental to me
And I've been through every war just for the world to see
That time is always movin' situations do change
And things don't always work out just the way that we plan
Still stand necessary be my friend and my foe
Either love me or you hate me
That's how the game goes
If it's wrong
To be respected never ever say die
Remain strong
Never neglect to spread my wings and fly
Like you
I've been through struggles so much stress on my brain
Actin' out my life on stages and still had to maintain
Question my every decision
My intentions were good
Twist the story all around and leave me misunderstood
Imagine that
No privacy but that's the price of this fame
Under attack
My destiny to be a soldier through rain

Chorus:
I flow I flow
Like water like water
And my desire
Like fire like fire
I'm kickin' up dirt
From the earth the earth
Imaginin' I'm the wind
Redeliverin' from deeper within

Chorus

I'm just tryin' to become the moment
At the same time overcome every opponent
Yeah I rest on the West but I wanna own it
Sensational rhymer
I was taught to paper chase as a minor
Till my bank account matches the population in China
I'm grindin'
And you might find it funny
That I bought a icy Rolex to show you my time is money
I got rules and jewels you can choose to use if you need 'em
Every day you don't hustle you abusin' your freedom
Gotta execute your plannin' as well
Cuz understand if you fail to plan
My nigga you plannin' to fail
Gigantic cannons in his hand when he bailed
Gettin' panties up in the candy Chavelle
They want me trapped in a raggedy cell
But the bad guy normally wins
I'm the reason these Republicans build so many pens
I'ma live for show
I'm makin' the west coast tighter
I'm Crooked I
Your ghost writer's writer

Chorus

Chorus

Just to make it in this world and go against all odds
Come from the gritty in the city to a superstar
Number one hit consistently for 10 long years
Put my soul in every project my blood sweat and my tears
Y'all you know my status Left Eye the baddest
Underestimated don't hate it I keep it lavish
But it don't mean nothin' if I can't find peace of mind
Packin' all distractions away leave 'em behind
Say goodbye hard times small crimes and felonies
A new beginnin' I'm winnin' envisionin' the breeze
I'm dressed in all white linen and fallin' to my knees
Thankful for all that's been given I'm livin' with ease
Tropical trees 90 degrees please
Do like the birds and the bees and start a family
So reminisce on every line that I wrote
Know that I never will surrender and it's truth that I spoke

Chorus

Chorus

Bridge:
Let me live live let me live
In inside inside intelligence
Say it say it say it say what you gotta say
Always ask and you will be amazed

Bridge

Let me live live
Let me live
Let me love love
Let me love
Let me learn learn
Let me learn
Let me laugh laugh
Let me laugh
Let me see see
Let me see
Let me say say
Let me say
Let me smile smile
Let me smile
Let me ask ask
Let me ask
