Underground Hip Hop Artist with West Coast and East Coast influences.
I HAVE BEEN RAPPIN AND MAKIN BEATS FOR OVER A DECADE AND I FUCKIN LOVE THIS SHIT!!!
Story behind the song
This was at a time when I was trying to get my life on the right track.
Lyrics
Why Do We Live This Way
-------Chorus-------
How Can I Sceam To Get Over
There’s A Price You Must Pay Everyday
So You Do What You Can To Get Over
Why Do We Live This Way
--------Chorus--------
I wake up every morning
lift my eye’s to the sky
The horizon looks black and I always wonder why
Is it the lying, the thieving, the stealing
or is it Jay -roc on the corner cocaine dealing
So many reasons why conception is twisted
it’s not my sister
The devil’s double fisted
So I pause, chill back, and reflect
while I flip the universe with the whisper of my breath
There’s so much more than this eye can imagine-
A fearless dragon breathing fire,
So what’s really cracking
Is objective spiritual
or in this lifetime kid is it all about stacking
Now that’s a question that you’ll have to answer
you live by the gun spirit, infected with cancer
And ain’t a damn thing funny
putting the work-go out town for some crumbs in some drug money
situations arise-never compromise
realize all true lies
Crazy world that I live in, but till the day that I die kid.. I’ll never Give In
-------Chorus-------
How Can I Sceam To Get Over
There’s A Price You Must Pay Everyday
So You Do What You Can To Get Over
Why Do We Live This Way
--------Chorus--------
The streets is callin us
Me and these kids I’m running with
Barely see one coma, need more o’s in front of it
Head of the class at Ghetto-U a street scholar
Graduation’s a Benz with rims to keep polished, I seek solids
Sick of this life but need dolla’s, and can’t sleep cause enemies creep then heat folla’s
Two deep swolla’s, ready to murder this kid Wallace
A drug runner on corner of 3rd and Leaf Whilis
Still light, hittin the weed to feel right
Me and my man gotta us a plan to build might
Ain’t pretty but gotta control this gang city
I’m the reincarnated Capone and Frank Nitty
Rolled up ready to shoot, but hold up
Over our shoulder all of his troops dun showed up
Started praying to God if I live then I’ll retire
Fell flat, then all in my back I felt fire
My empire was over before it ever really started
and I miss my homeboy dearly cause he departed
I’m paralyzed my whole life to wonder why
He died for green paper, the dollar ain’t all mighty
-------Chorus-------
How Can I Sceam To Get Over
There’s A Price You Must Pay Everyday
So You Do What You Can To Get Over
Why Do We Live This Way
--------Chorus--------
