[Intro]

Yeah, now digg. You got, rich niggas right, they do what they wanna do. And you got broke niggas, you heard? They do what they gotta do. Now ask yourself, which one are you? Fall back


[Verse 1]

Soakin' in Remy, sittin' back, smokin' a twenty

Shit is scabby, the hustlin' is so in me

Never show envy, got a style I maxed

I'm like po', back in eighty four, now smile at that

Unseen when I'm low but still right in your face

I'm so skinny, but that semi-auto's right in my waist

From Jags to Jeeps, hoopties with the raggedy seats

Just imagine how I'm movin' if we had any beef

Beats relax me, good cheeba keeps me nasty

Lower the smoke when I see the Ds creepin' past me

Duckin the NARCs, born bustin' Dutches apart

Love pussy with pretty lips, when you fuck it, it fart

Friend or foe, freak for the rims that glow

Rock Timbs if it's summer or ten below

Love the streets, the science of the drugs that's deep

I'm just another nigga next up, tryna eat


[Chorus]

Been in the game for a while, you all know my style

You know, you know, you know

(Myself are tryna carry on tradition)

Been gone for some time, waitin' to shine

Now it's on, it's on, it's on

(I'm destined to live the dream)


[Verse 2]

But it seems y'all would rather see me hit than see my rich

Get bagged over some bullshit and see me snitch

Hopin' some AIDS hoe bitch'll leave me sick

Like I'm a sucker for love with some easy dick

I did dirt through my days but hid my work

Even then I still made sure no kids got hurt

Sweep the next, been knowin' since my feet got wet

From the best turned vet learned to speak direct

My game's sharp and we all had our days of barkin'

You could tell niggas styles by they ways of parking

Why dispute it? Dough got us so polluted

Paranoid to the point it's like we overdo it

Police pressure, peep how the beasts arrest ya

Rough up, handcuff, then treat you lesser

Toast on me, smoke spray our potpourri

Y'all can bet imma rep how it's supposed to be


[Chorus]

Been in the game for a while, you all know my style

You know, you know, you know

(Myself are tryna carry on tradition)

Been gone for some time, waitin' to shine

But now it's on, it's on, it's on

(I'm destined to live the dream for all my peeps who never made)


[Verse 3]

Infinite game, get chills on the strength of my chain

It's only real, certain niggas mention my name

Some relate, others stay numb in the face

Tryna keep steps ahead like we runnin' a race

Nikes and Timbs, lady friends, like 'em slim

Light makeup, that shit that blend right with they skin

So what's the issue? All dick sucks is still official

Cold-steel nickles, and Phil I'm still with you

Iceberg-in, on the Turnpike mergin'

Late night, right brake lights, black Excursion

Tree smokin', hustle the rap imma keep ropin'

Too many niggas got deep emotions

The stress got em, who else wanna express they problems?

Get upset, but real vets respect the bottom

True a false, feel a fake love or hate

Right or wrong as long as the thugs relate


[Chorus]

Been in the game for a while, you all know my style

You know, you know, you know

(Myself are tryna carry on tradition)

Been gone for some time, waitin' to shine

But now it's on, it's on, it's on

(I'm destined to live the dream for all my peeps who never made)

Been in the game for a while, you all know my style

You know, you know, you know

(Myself are tryna carry on tradition)

Been gone for some time, waitin' to shine

But now it's on, it's on, it's on

(I'm destined to live the dream for all my peeps who never made)

Been in the game for a while, you all know my style

You know, you know, you know

(Myself are tryna carry on tradition)

Been gone for some time, waitin' to shine

But now it's on, it's on, it's on

(I'm destined to live the dream for all my peeps who never made)

(My mentality, I'm destined to live the dream for all my peeps who never made

Cause yeah, keepin' it real)

(Myself tryna carry on tradition)

(My mentality, I'm destined to live the dream for all my peeps who never made)


[Outro: AZ speaking over the Chorus]

Yeah, y'all haters better get a hustle, man, stop fuckin' with me. I'm tryin' to live man, nah mean? I been at the bottom, I was risin', fell back down, I'm tryna climb up, man. Get off my back, baby. It's all a game, man, don't hate me, hate the game. AZ the Visualiza return, once again. Love life, hey
