Lyrics
Countin' every blessing while I'm screamin' out
UpFront (UpFront), Akon (Akon)
Konvict Music (Music, Music)
Oh
(Yeah)
I realize it ain't the life for me
Always gettin' into trouble 'cause (I'm so fly)
I'm on a whole 'nother level
Left the block and now I'm smilin' countin' money like
(Yeah)
Realize it ain't the life for me
I haven't found another hustle 'cause (I'm so fly)
I'm livin' life a lot better (A lot better)
Still keep a Glock in case the jealous wanna hate tonight
Another day up in the hood, can't believe these cats still bangin' (Bangin')
Look at the years we wasted on the corner block still slangin' (Slangin')
No matter how much we try to make peace, gunshots still ringin' (Ringin')
'Cause to be a hood legend, you die first then become famous (Famous)
'Cause I done seen this type of thing before (Before)
Just hangin' out up by the corner store
(C'mon, c'mon, c'mon)
Stick-up kids with them guns galore
Layin' e'rybody down stretched on the floor (The floor)
I thought about it man, I'm way too fly (Fly)
To have a fella robbin' me outside ('Side)
That's why I keep that thing by my side
And count every blessin' while I'm screamin' out
(Yeah)
I realize it ain't the life for me
Always gettin' into trouble 'cause (I'm so fly)
I'm on a whole 'nother level
Left the block and now I'm smilin' countin' money like
(Yeah)
Realize it ain't the life for me
I haven't found another hustle 'cause (I'm so fly)
I'm livin' life a lot better (A lot better)
Still keep a Glock in case the jealous wanna hate tonight
I hate to say it but the people that's surroundin' me are way too shady (Shady)
The only people I could trust, that's my family and my lady (Lady)
(Blewz, Blewz, Blewz)
All my dawgs got guns ready for action, they won't betray me ('Tray me)
Ain't the type to run or to hold my tongue when it gets crazy (Crazy)
See, I been through this type of thing before (Before)
Even had trouble with the law (The law)
On the couch when they smashed my door
With a warrant, found the cash stashed under the floor (The floor)
I never could understand the cause (Cause)
I was the one that pulled the shortest straw (Straw)
I couldn't live this type of life no more
So I had a part of me screamin' out
(Yeah)
I realize it ain't the life for me
Always gettin' into trouble 'cause (I'm so fly)
I'm on a whole 'nother level
Left the block and now I'm smilin' countin' money like
(Yeah)
Realize it ain't the life for me
I haven't found another hustle 'cause (I'm so fly)
I'm livin' life a lot better
Still keep a Glock in case the jealous wanna hate tonight
(Blewz, Blewz, Blewz)
I'm in blue with them BF frames (Frames)
Walkin' on lean while my chain hangs (Hangs)
Drivin' somethin' pronounced mad strange (Strange)
Yeah, I'm mad cool 'cause I been through flames (Flames)
Walk with a limp 'cause I been through dames (Dames)
Now she's a ho, 'cause she been through gangs (Gangs)
Beef with cats for a small chump change (Change)
I'm rich now, that's more chump change (Change)
(Bitches laugh at me)
The cops know slang (Slang)
Man, get the picture, before you buy the frame (Frame)
Call me heartthrob, 'cause I'm so vain (Vain)
Couldn't come close if you sat in my Range (Range)
My scars can prove it, I'm passion and pain singin' (Singin')
(Yeah)
I realize it ain't the life for me
Always gettin' into trouble 'cause (I'm so fly)
I'm on a whole 'nother level
Left the block and now I'm smilin' countin' money like
(Yeah)
Realize it ain't the life for me
I haven't found another hustle 'cause (I'm so fly)
I'm livin' life a lot better
Still keep a Glock in case the jealous wanna hate tonight
