Me or My Way of Life

If I wasn’t in the rap game, and been shakin' lot of hands
If I didn’t do these concerts, and take pictures with the fans
What if people never heard of me, and what I done I never did?
What if I was just a brother with a low profile and a nine-to-five gig?
Tell me would you still call me and check on me?
Or would it be like, «Oh well, see ya later,» on to the next homie?
If I couldn’t spit a verse tight
Wonder if you woulda still let me take you to the movies on the first night
Were you just waiting for a lick to come?
I heard you talking to your friends saying, «Girl, I think this the one»
What if I went into some new ventures?
What if I gave up music? Would you lose interest?
I’m starting to doubt you
Is my life really about me or is it really ‘bout you?
Got a question in my head, hope I say it right
Do you love me or my way of life?
Do you love me or my way of life?
Do you love me or my way of life?
Do you love me or my way of life?
Do you love me or my way of life?
Do you love me or my way of life?
You said it ain’t about money, that’s a true sentence
But you ain’t hollered at your boy in a cool minute
When the bright lights die down
Would you still ride and chill right by my side now?
What if I decided to leave the game?
Fade out of the picture, say «I don’t need the fame»
Let the world know I’m bailing out and then dip
Was it about the lifestyle or the friendship
No microphone to put my hands on
What if it wasn’t any more stages to stand on?
Low shows out of town, I’m just staying home
What percentage of y’all would leave K alone?
Take the value away from everything I touch
Probably overtime, my phone wouldn’t ring as much
I understand certain people do influence
Hardly ever ‘bout the man, it’s more about what he can do
I’m starting to doubt you
Is my life really about me or is it really ‘bout you?
Got a question in my head, hope I say it right
Do you love me or my way of life?
Do you love me or my way of life?
Do you love me or my way of life?
Do you love me or my way of life?
Do you love me or my way of life?
Do you love me or my way of life?
When I look at it in hindsight
See those ways are what made me get my mind right
When all you see is the surface, you can’t define sight
The long nights I grinded to make these lines tight
Where is your loyalty honestly?
You my homie but listen to everyone but me
Funny we never discuss it so I blow it in
‘cause it’s something that for the longest I been noticing
Reaching my limits so just take it in for a minute
My whole day I don’t spend it industry-oriented
I need barriers to keep certain areas free
You living your life through me vicariously
If it ended today, could you withstand the loss?
Who gon' be down with me when they cut them cameras off?
You gonna get stronger, gotta do reps
Are you with me for the whole race or just a few steps?
I’m starting to doubt you
Is my life really about me or is it really ‘bout you?
Got a question in my head, hope I say it right
Do you love me or my way of life?
Do you love me or my way of life?
Do you love me or my way of life?
Do you love me or my way of life?
Do you love me or my way of life?
Do you love me or my way of life?
