Jay Rock, Ab-Soul - Lifestyle lyrics

Ayethis thing on?
Yeah, what's going on y'all?
Once againsoul! Just want to give you a
Piece of how I'm living

Lets talk about my lifestyle
I'm broke but almost famous how
Can I explain this?
I'm so close but yet so far
They say I'mma a star but
That ain't quite my lifestlye
I'm broke but almost famous how
Should I explain this?
I'm so low thats why I get
High, and that ain't a lie
It's just my lifestyle

Fresh off the LAX tour no pay, no per diem
No shutting down stores
Hype manning for Jay Rock yeah
It was fun of course


But the set was too short
To perform one of my songs
I reaped a few benefit's and
Met some important people
That if people see you with they
Gonna' want to meet you
We torn down stages, got groupie
Love, got high, stupid drunk
Even scuffled in the club
I made it back in one
Piece thank the man above
Hadn't come to grips with niggas
Thinking I'm a blood
It's over when your neighborhood
Is full of crips
Luckily for me they shoes tied
And niggas never trip
Scrapped up enough change to
Pay my phone bill
I got a past due balance but it's owed still
That's the shit I write about
I swear I'm so real

Lets talk about my lifestyle
I'm broke but almost famous how
Can I explain this?
I'm so close but yet so far
They say I'mma a star but
That ain't quite my lifestlye
I'm broke but almost famous how
Should I explain this?
I'm so low thats why I get
High, and that ain't a lie
It's just my lifestyle

Chyeah, Soul!
Roll us a swisher up, lets get high
My mind right, im focused now
I know the trials, and tribulations
I ran wild, threw on an apron
Dishing birds out
Imagine a boston market in
A nickerson gardens
You ever seen a blood bargain?
Got fed and saw them Feds often
I never sleep you do that in coffins
Now, I can recall being down to my last straw
Thirsty for a burglar gun in my draws
Now I step on stage, people applaud
That alone should show you hard work pays off
My daughter is my world thats
A blessing from god
And even when she cries I
See myself in her eyes
For her I got to provide, till my demise
Shit even if I died I'd
Probably come back to life
Nothings gonna stop me

Lets talk about my lifestyle
I'm broke but almost famous how
Can I explain this?
I'm so close but yet so far
They say I'mma a star but
That ain't quite my lifestlye
I'm broke but almost famous how
Should I explain this?
I'm so low thats why I get
High, and that ain't a lie
It's just my lifestyle

The homie hit me said he seen me on BET
Like whats the deal with that?
You getting big homie
I use that type of shit as motovation
Which is important as a
Lawyers opening statement
If I bet a dollar bill my
Flow is worth a fortune
Would that mean I was cheap or
That I can't support it
Some people see me as an icon
Half of them show me
They got me in their iPod (good lookingyeah)
But still my stories more relateable
Cause real is relative
As you and yo' momma's kids
An no I ain't as big as drake
But I'm capable an I may not smoke an ounce
But an eigth will do
An I promise you're safe
Where I'm taking you
On a journey through a day in my shoes
Where everybody thinks you're some
Kind of celebrity
But you can't even take your
Girl out for some food
Many would argue that i made
A lot of wrong moves
But i stand behind myself like a shadow
When I'm in
A certain position under the moon
Just think it all started from a text battle
What up DCash my nigga novik to
Snake hollywood i got it my nigga
Swear to god I'm a phrophet
Like Elijah my nigga
And ain't nothing gonna stop it my nigga

Lets talk about my lifestyle
I'm broke but almost famous how
Can I explain this?
I'm so close but yet so far
They say I'mma a star but
That ain't quite my lifestlye
I'm broke but almost famous how
Should I explain this?
I'm so low thats why I get
High, and that ain't a lie
It's just my lifestyle
