[Intro: Joey Bada$$]
Check it, word word
What's the word word
Yeah, check!

[Verse 1: Joey Bada$$]
Just got word from my mans on the island
He said he needed guidance
Niggas on the streets is wallin'
He look to God but can't find him
So he demand silence from the glarin' sirens
The sympathy symphony
Only thing playing is the banned violence
No lyin' niggas just won't let go the iron
They wanna burn ya molecules until you let go ions
Treat beef like they let go lions
So don't eye em' you get the wrong message
Wrong methods put you on that long stretcher
Too much pressure God bless ya when the semi wet'cha
They told me "more dress-up" I'm givin' too many lectures
And I'm puttin' in too many effort in my nouns and verbs
Like "they gon' catch up" [bad word] what you must heard!
But I done puffed enough herb
To be listenin' to young birds and dumb nerds
I got enough [bad word] on my mind
So I don't need to be stressin' and shine, it's fine

[Hook: Joey BADA$$]
One day I'm tryna have a wife and kids
So I just can't live my life like this
And I ain't tryna learn what lifeless is
So I just can't live my life like this
I want the gold chains and diamond rings
But I just can't live my life like this
And sometimes I just wanna light this spliff
But I just can't live my life like this

[Verse 2: CJ Fly]
Just got a collect call from up top
My cousin called me and what not
The motto never changed it’s still [bad word] cops
We went from havin' lunch in our lunchbox
Our lungs was hot whenever we puff pot
We'd touch blocks and end up havin to duck shots
But [bad word] dot, ain’t tryna live that life no more
My mind [bad word] but my heart is still pure
Gotta be brave can’t be afraid
Braids and waves never matter when you catch the fade
Trapped and amazed that your faith is your only escape [bad word] a priest’s opinion
Knock the hinges off of Heaven’s gates
Tryna share my cells wit' my mate
Not share a cell wit' mates
Wreckin' [bad word] wit' my wrecklessness
The L get lit that’s when I start second guessin' [bad word] Thinkin' ‘bout Ty and then I reminisce
What you thought you niggas could’ve [bad word] me over
Never [bad word] guess again
I’m street so cross me like pedestrians
And that’s gon be the end of it
Straight revokin’ your membership

[Hook: CJ Fly]
One day I'm tryna have a wife and kids
So I just can't live my life like this
And I ain't tryna know what lifeless is
So I just can't live my life like this
I want the gold chains and diamond rings
But I just can't live my life like this
And sometimes I just wanna light this spliff
But I just can't live my life like this

[Verse 3: Joey BADA$$]
Niggas wanna know what I’m about
I’m bout blowin' loud on the block sporty
GLOCK 40 in a politician mouth
I take [bad word] out
Commission wit' [bad word] Who the kid spittin' behind the bars
Like a con position
Gotta give ‘em time to listen
They’ll soon bump to it they’ll like me
I kick it like Nike they’ll soon adjust to it
But if you hate I know you must do it
I ain’t mad at you I keep my attitude on  [bad word] it
"a million bucks should do it"
I’m out for presidents to represent me
Yo chick keep messaging me
Who the bestest MC?
They be mentioning me
Too hot, I be molestin’ the beat [bad word] math, teachers should teach
To get Smith n Wesson’s off the street
But first class be a lesson for me [bad word] what you teaching for some regents
I'm flying over regions
Reaching, all time highs where Jesus can’t reach us
Step to me and get the recipe to make you rest in peace
This is for my niggas, killers
Hundred dollar billers
On the block in the rock spot
