Lyrics

Live and learn Life is a lesson And I'm gonna teach it First I'm gonna crawl, then I'm gonna walk Then I'm gonna stand, then I'm gonna talk But I gotta learn in order to teach Then I gotta burn in order to reach My niggaz Yo, I see what I see day by day Hoping that the Lord will pave my way (What!) Have I been forgotten? Have I forsaken? Or maybe I'm just wrong with the moves that I've been makin' Hatin' others 'cause they hate me over envy They want to send me, when we use to be friendly Think I started off on top with two platinum albums? Naw dog, I started off from the block I just did shit to get shit (Ugh!) Niggaz always knew I was down to hit shit that's why I stayed rich shit (What!) Played with shit but it wasn't a game; first time locked down (Ugh!) It wasn't the same, my whole world, nothing but clothes to steal Niggaz getting split for real, miss a good meal (Damn) Didn't called nobody cause don't nobody care They got my back against the wall Fuck it, I'm just here First I'm gonna crawl, then I'm gonna walk Then I'm gonna stand, then I'm gonna talk But I gotta learn in order to teach Then I gotta burn in order to reach First I'm gonna crawl, then I'm gonna walk Then I'm gonna stand, then I'm gonna talk But I gotta learn in order to teach Then I gotta burn in order to reach My niggaz Dog, it's like this: when the fog is type thick, a nigga might flip And a nigga bite quick, but I stay focus to what's important (What's that?) Supportin' my family, fucking with my dogs and recording According to the man upstairs, we all got our own problems So you, stop worrying about bail (Aight) Learned a long time ago, to look away and niggaz will leave you I hear no, speak no, see no evil All I can do is teach you, what I know, how I flow how I get down, where I go (What!) Maybe what I been through will send you somewhere other than (Where?) Dreams go out the window, I love my people, all of my people (Ugh) And God gonna keep me callin' my people (Ugh) You gots to live life to the fullest Ain't always about the size of the gun sometime it's the bullet First I'm gonna crawl, then I'm gonna walk Then I'm gonna stand, then I'm gonna talk But I gotta learn in order to teach Then I gotta burn in order to reach First I'm gonna crawl, then I'm gonna walk Then I'm gonna stand, then I'm gonna talk But I gotta learn in order to teach Then I gotta burn in order to reach My niggaz Everyday we live and learn, take it step-by-step We create our own path until there's no life left I hold my death (Ugh) all for as long as I can Knowing my man (What!) plottin' with the chrome in his hand Holdin' me back, niggaz gettin' shady over money MY NIGGA! Pull out the 380 over money (Damn) Crazy over money, can't do without it I got other shit to deal with, I'm like forget about it It's when I don't know with much tease that comes first because it comes with the thirst of a nigga that's had it the worst It's like a curse that should be lifted He was there but he drifted, got a call and he shifted Once he felt that he was gifted Got to kick it the hardest and I hope you got it It was there from the start, I just hope you spot it 'cause it's my blood on paper, my soul on paper Words to live by will leave a hole in the paper First I'm gonna crawl, then I'm gonna walk Then I'm gonna stand, then I'm gonna talk But I gotta learn in order to teach Then I gotta burn in order to reach First I'm gonna crawl, then I'm gonna walk Then I'm gonna stand, then I'm gonna talk But I gotta learn in order to teach Then I gotta burn in order to reach My niggaz Crawl, Walk Stand, Talk Learn, Teach Burn, Reach Crawl, Walk Stand, Talk Learn, Teach Burn, Reach My niggaz
