Turn it up, turn it up

Now turn it up, turn it up

I-I can't live my, can't live my

Yeah, yo, I can't live my

I-I can't live my

Life this way, continually get high

Instead of runnin' 'round, lock one bird down

It's a new day, gotta do it big just to get by

(Right, right)

Show no respect, can't live that way

(Nah, nah)

Yo, hold my check, can't live that way

Without my chick on deck, can't live that way (Yeah)

They way what they like, but I've been that way (Woo)

Our moves calculated through the lens (Yeah) almost here

Success'll be the best revenge (Yeah)

Man, from Clint East' to Kanye West

(What up, what up)

The sun can't chill, but everyday it sets

(Everyday, yeah)

This time, I made up my mind

This time, I'm back on my grind

I know there's things in my life

That I'ma let go, startin' tonight

Yeah, yeah, Kanye to the

My favorite girl wanna leave me just because I got a girlfriend

My freak girl told me now she a Christian

My white girl wanna move back to Michigan (Okay)

I'm pullin' girls off the bench like a sixth man

I'm in the club doin' the same ol' two-step

While Omega's doin' the same ol' Q-step (True dawg)

I have my money on my mind, I was thinkin' green

She a pledge, A.K.A. she was pink and green

I want a good girl, she want a gentleman (Okay)

We sayin' the same thing like a synonym

I wasn't really spittin' game, I was scrimmagin'

My pimp-menship so hard, it needs censorship (Woo)

I'm a Chicagoan till Chicago ends

Till we blow like Chicago wind

I don't know what's better, gettin' laid or gettin' paid

I just know when I'm gettin' one, the other's gettin' away, this way (Yeah)

This time, I made up my mind (Uh, yeah)

This time, I'm back on my grind (Uh)

(This way) I can't live my life this way

Here we go, Rakaa

Go 'head, flip a coin so the game can start

Believe me I know the drama kid, name the part

I learned before the hot flame came the spark

It's like before the pop fame came the park

But this industry'll play wit' your life, man

They playin' wit' your rent, food, water, and lights, man

That's why Rakaa brings it like that ol' Tidy-T jam

The batter ram, then I'm off to Amsterdam

To rest up for strength, to deal with this weight

To deal with these deals, to deal with this hate

I dedicate this to Jam Master Jay

Run-DMC showed me how to walk this way

This time, I made up my mind

This time, I'm back on my grind

I know there's things in my life

(Come on, here we go, all the ladies)

That I'ma let go, startin' tonight

(I can't live my, I-I can't live my) I can't live my

(I can't live my, I-I can't live my) Come on fellas, can't live my

I can't live my, I-I can't live my (Yeah)

I can't live my life this way (Yeah, like that, man, come on)

(I can't live my, I-I can't live my) (Woo)

(This way) (I can't live my, I-I can't live my) Fellas

(This way) I can't live my, I-I can't live my (Yeah, like that, come on)

Dilated Peoples gotta be the sure shot
