[Intro]
Uh, yeah, uh, yeah, uh
Yeah, woah, yeah, woah
Yeah, woah, yeah, woah
Yeah, woah, yeah, woah
Yeah, woah, yeah, woah
Yeah, woah, yeah, woah
Yeah, uh
[Verse 1]
We on this journey, fuck the destination, uh
For now, yeah
Steph Curry, finna fucking make it
Yeah, yeah, huh, yeah, huh
Coming from that middle class where the main danger is some bad decisions
Half the time it fuck you over, half the time you glad you did it
Five miles away, they wet you up like a baptism
Five miles away it's all trees and some flats, nigga
We come from the in-between
We come from my mama was a scholar and my father was a dealer, addict, and a king
That means niggas at your neck, catch the guillotine
That means you don't fucking know me, I'm Alicia Keys, yeah
Niggas taking risks
Wanted to break ankles, end up breaking wrists
End up in the kitchen, anything but work a shift
If you ain't stay in class then you end up doing this
[Chorus]
I been living life on the limb, oh (If I fall)
Which one of y'all gon' help me swim? Oh (That's what I thought)
Fuck 'em all, fuck 'em all
I been lower than an underdog so fucking long
Type of nigga that be walking 'round like nothing wrong
Knowing if it come with pressure, I come out so fucking strong, yeah, uh
[Post-Chorus]
Woah woah, woah woah, woah woah
Had to tell these niggas
Woah woah, woah woah, woah woah
Had to tell a bitch
Woah woah, woah woah, woah woah
Had to tell these niggas
Woah woah, woah woah, woah woah
[Verse 2]
It be niggas in the room with you praying for your downfall
Niggas want to see you win, won't open they mouth though
Barack got elected, I was selling nicks of outdoor
Bought it 'round the corner but was smoking in the house though, uh
Lost my faith in all
Ain't find it in the church, found it at the mall
If I put in hella work, I could buy my mom a Benz
If I get up off my ass, I can rock designer drawers
Young nigga with a passion for smoking dope and dro, it make me real hard
Found out niggas fake, so what they think don't make me feel numb
Daddy said, "Dikembe, watch your back, but never fear none'"
Ain't no one a threat, look in the mirror, that's a real one
Attitude went from I ain't gon' be shit to
I know who I am, fuck you, suck my dick, uh
I prepare myself, don't wait to get picked up
Never could depend 'cause niggas ain't on shit
[Chorus]
I been living life on the limb, oh (If I fall)
Which one of y'all gon' help me swim? Oh (That's what I thought)
Fuck 'em all, fuck 'em all
I been lower than an underdog so fucking long
Type of nigga that be walking 'round like nothing wrong
Knowing if it come with pressure, I come out so fucking strong, yeah, uh
[Post-Chorus]
Woah woah, woah woah, woah woah
Had to tell these niggas
Woah woah, woah woah, woah woah
Had to tell a bitch
Woah woah, woah woah, woah woah
Had to tell these niggas
Woah woah, woah woah, woah woah
