Plies - How I'm Living lyrics

This is how I'm living, how I'm living
How I'm living, how I'm living
How I'm living, how I'm living
It ain't nothing like you've seen on BET
How I'm living
How I'm living, how I'm living
How I'm living, how I'm living
It ain't nothing like you've seen on BET

Where I'm from
It's a couple things that you won't see
You ain't gon' see no Maybachs or no Bentleys
And you ain't finna see no cribs
Worth a half a million
But there's a couple things, nigga
That you will see
Niggas riding around with choppers
On the front seat
And niggas posted in the dope
Hole trying to eat
And the police riding back to back, six deep
'Cause what you see and what I
See is two different things
I see niggas riding Chevys, a lot of cocaine
And where I'm from, niggas don't drink Cris
Mane
Niggas drink yak, crackers drink champagne
And when you niggas get rich
It's funny how shit change
With that $200 for that Cris
I can get into the game
And cop me some of that hard
Or some of that white thing
If you've been in the hood
Then how I'm living, why concern about you?
Now that you got a little money, nigga
You've been flipped this shit for crackers

This is how I'm living, how I'm living
How I'm living, how I'm living
How I'm living, how I'm living
It ain't nothing like you've seen on BET
How I'm living
How I'm living, how I'm living
How I'm living, how I'm living
It ain't nothing like you've seen on BET

And in the hood
We want you impressed by 9: 11
'Cause every day in the hood is fucking 9 11
When 9
11 happened, it was just a couple killers
You'd find more killers around this
Bitch sitting in trucks, nigga
These boys like Bin Laden, but behind tint
Nigga the only difference is Bin Laden
Just gon' send them
A true killer will get you himself
Last I remember a plane got to hit the World
Trade a couple of more times
To catch up with all of
These motherfuckers around here dying
And God
I want you to stop me if you think I'm lying
I bet there's 10, 000 open cases right now
And y'all depicted a couple
Off a thousand cases
Me and your motherfucking family
Need to trade places
So you can look around the hood
And see all the sad faces
As soon as a nigga get killed
You hollering "drug related"
I know you can hear it in my
Voice, you can tell I'm hot, too
I feel the same way you feel, cracker
Fuck you a lot of men died in two days
But it don't make the news
A little white girl come up missing
It's all over the news
And you would give a bitch a
Million for a couple crews
I bet you need my people, cracker
Before we need you

This is how I'm living, how I'm living
How I'm living, how I'm living
How I'm living, how I'm living
It ain't nothing like you've seen on BET
How I'm living
How I'm living, how I'm living
How I'm living, how I'm living
It ain't nothing like you've seen on BET

The same shit happening everywhere
Around the world, dog
Your motherfucking hood ain't no
Harder than mine
And my hood ain't no harder than yours
Fort Myers, dog, AKA Pakistan
You already know what we call it
Duval, Tallahassee, Gainesville, West Palm
Lauderdale, Dade County, Tampa, St pete
Clearwater, Orlando, Polk County, Mims
Titusville
And all surrounding areas in between, dog
This how we living in Florida, nigga
Please believe it, baby
Florida, I told you I got you, my nigga
And when them motherfuckers put me
On how I'm living
I'll take you in my hood, nigga
'cause that's how I'm living
