They been stealin' our culture for years

We the ones with the ideas

Tell 'em this is the way that we live

This is the way that we live

I heard that it's kill or be killed

My niggas we stay in the field

Tell 'em this is the way that we live

This is the way that we, this is the way that we live

This is the way that we, this is the way that we live

This is the way that we, this is the way that we live

They been stealin' our culture for years

We the ones with the ideas

Tell 'em this is the way that we, this is the way that we live


[Verse 1: Dizzy Wright]

This is the way that we live

It's my time I got somethin' to give

We creatin' shit but didn't have the money for the funding or the fundamental skills

Took it from us, left us in the field

Now we back and better, smart as ever

Fuck 'em if they tryna take it from us

We gon' build our own shit it's now or never

They gon' judge a young nigga regardless

Movin' quiet, yup we louder than a choir

Can't be out here as a target

I be tryna tell the homies bein' [?]

Keep it real ain't even fascinated

To 2Pac and get assassinated

Give us credit for the culture

Since y'all ran with it and tried to marinate it

Brought the '80s back on purpose

If the laws reversed you wouldn't think that it's worth it

Son downtown I'm in a hurry

You ain't prolly never felt this discouraged

I ain't trippin' look at the shit we invented

All these Hip-Hop sounds that the legends given

I ain't no politician but I wanna inspire a lot of difference

Told the homie

This is the way that we, this is the way that we live

This is the way that we, this is the way that we live

This is the way that we, this is the way that we live

[Verse 2: Price]

I'm feeling like Benjamin Bradley, Benjamin Montgomery

Black man I need my money please

Hold up, let me name drop

They cleaned us out and left us brainwashed

Now he in he hood, lettin' that thang pop

And she in the hood letttin' that thang drop

Go on tour they in the same spot

Young guns won't stop, no they can't stop

Each one, teach one

I learned the blueprint from [?] boy

Pull up on Dizzy and chief one (smoke it up)

Young king of Vegas right next to Floyd

Quit the loud talk, we don't respect the noise

I respect the action and the proof

So don't let that pussy distract you from the truth

See that ass clap on steppin' get trapped up in that Coupe

Hold on, can't be a chicken tryna soar with eagles (do it do it)

I'm on a mission to restore the people (whip it up)

Young Price, free minded and freedom fighting

Bring the pie to my team and we divide it up

We never gon' win if we're divided

I get the tree, I light it then get enlightened

Cause the music ain't leavin' me excited

I can't hide it, but we concocted the start to keep the cycle

[Verse 3: Oktane]

The homies told me to go crazy on this

So it's only right that I go crazy on it

Came prepared for this, you can't be trained

'Bout to run the game, and nothin' sprained

So for real, candy rain

Now we gettin dollars and demandin' change

Fire spittin', nigga, flame flame

Hot lava, Oktane, same thing

This a giant to a midget, I feel Jordan off the pivot

Most of the shit you double tap on Instagram nigga I done did it

I really seen the world, I really lived it

And a lil nigga got the vision

I remember no pot to piss in

And we sat up plottin' mission with not one spot left without the scripture

I'm the never-sober chief that smokes the reefer

The boy that knows your chick and blows the cheese

But how does it do it? The never seen a nigga this fly

Don't kiss and tell, expose the diva

Many occasions I could've chosen singin'

Necessity in the game, it doesn't need you

On the one, why you throw with the close reciever

Praise black Jesus for chosen leaders and I'm gone
