Lyrics
You don't get to choose the life that you're given
So the life you're living, after lonely nights, will keep hitting
You square in the chin with
Uppercuts and the punch never healing
Puffing blunts barely touching the ceiling
You only live once embrace the wonderful feeling
Although sometimes, it may not be a comfortable feeling
When the sun shines, you have to make the fucking decision
To get up out the bed and witness all the stuff that you're missing
You only live once so aim for the top position
Fuck the opposition, life is not a competition
And as I sit and jot these rhymes in my composition
I can't help but notice everyone don't got a mission
Cause they gave up
While I came up
Fuck the game up
Surrounded by the money while they stuck bankrupt
(Fuck, uh)
And as beautiful as you are, ladies you don't need the makeup
Put down the paintbrush
See, you don't need to cover your bruises and all your scars
Flaunt the stretch and birthmarks, all the above
Fans asking "Ain't you that dude that be rapping bars"
Nah I'm just another nigga
Tell me do you mind if I rhyme bout this
Tell me do you mind if I rhyme bout that
Tell me do you mind
Tell me do you mind
So tell me do you mind if I rhyme bout this
Tell me do you mind if I rhyme bout that
Tell me do you mind
Tell me do you mind, do you mind, do you mind (yeah listen)
I'm just another nigga
You don't need a hug or picture
You don't need an autograph
I am just another human stuck here with ya on this world
Who had to see the bigger picture
If you need somebody, hit me up and I'll be sticking with ya
And together we can stick up middle fingers
To the little things that broke us in the past like
Damn I don't even want to get into it
Fuck it
Like insomnia in late nights
Slaving during daylight
You will have fans if you make the music they like
Is what they said to me
Now I'm performing with this stage fright
Drowning in my sweat like I'm swimming with the great whites
Standing on stage, feel a sense of hopelessness
Started rapping and they booing like it's Ghostbusters
So I decided to change what I provided
They want me to play the music that they like but I don't like it
Now this fight or flight sense that I feel, I'm tryna fight it
Cause I might get too excited when they hyping what I'm writing
But the audience is quiet
And my grip on the microphone tightens
You can see my knuckles start to whiten
Then I run off tryna hide it
But while I sit in private
I'm reminded when it comes to time I am nearsighted
Cause I'm blinded by the future and what it holds inside it
Open it to find that
Nothing is inside it
They said the present is a gift and yet I still don't know what I'll get
Shaking the box, I should've wished to be a psychic
When I blew out the candles
And I was so delighted
Now the candles are de-lighted and it's really dark and silent
LiL
Tell me do you mind
Tell me do you mind, do you mind, do you mind
You only live once
Make it count
