This Is What We Live For

See I deserve what I worked for
Might sin, still pray, ain’t that what Church ⛪️ is for, nah!
This cold world, it can hurt us all…
Before we called him 50 Cent, his name was Curtis y’all…
Yeah, way before Power he was trying to earn some dollars
He was shot 9 times in the year 2000
Queens, I think Hollis, Queensbridge, and projects
Maybe it was God, telling him to get up out that
Before your story climax, you gotta hit the ground hard
Never see my shadow for the Spring, like a groundhog
This is what we live for, gotta raise our kids more
Working double shifts, so I can hop up out that Benz more
Time to put my friends on, so we can move properly
We done with buying shoes and clothes just more properties
This ain’t no Monopoly, we good across the board
Jeezy and Young Hov, cause I done seen and done it all, it’s on
This is what we live for
Gotta raise our kids more
This is what we live for
Gotta raise our kids more
This is what we live for!
Gotta Stop making excuses, for not being in yo kids life
You laid down with her once, then you hit twice
The third time was a charm, it was magic
Conceived your first child now everything causing static
Your Mom’s let you have it, cause you living in her attic
Never had a job, still trying to make it rapping
Little do they know, that you cooking up a classic
Don’t let it consume you, your breakthrough is sure to happen
Everybody was laughing, sending pictures to your phone
Got the call from Curtis Jackson like nigga it’s a go
You’re life style change, and you’re friends ain’t the same
Now you’re screaming through the sunroof, money ain’t a thing
Been through the pain, all he Sunshine ☀️, and the rain ☔️
One thing about life, sometimes your friends change, huh
A thug changes, and love changes
And best friends become strangers, we dangerous
And that’s on God, you hear this story full circle ⭕️
The Family always Matters, I ain’t talking Steve Urkel
Everything is Black and Purple, I’m Lamar in the huddle
Straight from Pompano beach, yeah, he made it out the struggle
And that’s the same place my Great Grandmama came from
Sometimes your Day 2's, keep it realer than your Day 1's
I know where I came from, and where I got my name from
It’s all in God’s Plan, I pray it about it everyday son, ugh!
