[NLE Choppa, Polo G, DDG - 9 Lives lyrics]
(Makers) (Hey, McNab)
These niggas thinkin' I ain't street
But they don't know, for real
I'm only who I am today because my bro
For real
And they say time heal your grief, well
Why I'm hurtin' still?
I seen my mama stressed all day
How we gon' pay the bills?
It's only cold water in the sinks
I couldn't take no bath
You ever had to boil some water
Just to wash your back?
My family leaning all on me
But I don't sip no Act'
I'm out here taking care of nine
Lives like I'm a fuckin' cat
But for my family, that's alright
I'm doin' anything
It's to the point where I feel
Bad for buyin' any bling i just got rich
So I'm a sucker for the finer things
This Prada shirt and my new
Kicks with these dеsigner jeans
Is it weird that I miss thе struggle?
'Cause when you get the win
It's like the feelin' double
And there's more appreciating 'til
The feeling crumble
But I've been winnin' way too much
So now the feeling subtle
So every time I lose once
I gotta win a couple i stay a step ahead
I be busy
Don't judge me if you get left on read
They say the bike ride to the
Top is not acceptin' pigs
So if you can't ride with me
I hope you understand
These niggas thinkin' I ain't street
But they don't know, for real
I'm only who I am today because my bro
For real
And they say time heal your grief, well
Why I'm hurtin' still?
I seen my mama stressed all day
How we gon' pay the bills?
It's only cold water in the sinks
I couldn't take no bath
You ever had to boil some water
Just to wash your back?
My family leaning all on me
But I don't sip no Act'
I'm out here taking care of nine
Lives like I'm a fuckin' cat
2019, I was on Perky pills
(I was on Perky pills)
All that pain I was feeling
I ain't wanna feel (I ain't wanna feel)
Taking care of everybody
How I was supposed to heal?
(Like how I was supposed to heal?)
I was more way peaceful 'fore
I even signed a deal
('Fore I signed a deal)
Lost some niggas in the field
Hope they get appeals
(Hope they get appeals)
Lost G, know it hurt my soul
Shit ain't feel real
Life was comin' at me fast, Jesus
Take the wheel (Jesus, take the wheel)
No power steerin' in my life
The wrong road kills
Can you pray for me? I need
A shoulder to lean on
(Need a shoulder to lean on)
Music therapy, I get in the booth
I just sing on (I just sing on)
If you feelin' what I'm feelin'
You welcome to sing along
Nobody there for me, but they
Call on me like ringtones, yeah
(Ayy, oh, woah)
These niggas thinkin' I ain't street
But they don't know, for real
(Ayy, oh, woah)
I'm only who I am today because my bro
For real
And they say time heal your grief, well
Why I'm hurtin' still?
I seen my mama stressed all day
How we gon' pay the bills?
It's only cold water in the sinks
I couldn't take no bath
You ever had to boil some water
Just to wash your back?
My family leaning all on me
But I don't sip no Act'
I'm out here taking care of nine
Lives like I'm a fuckin' cat
It's just like lately I've been turnin' up
Was in the trenches, daily faded
Steady burnin' up
I never thought that we'd make it
And that hurt was stuck
But still grindin' every day like
I ain't earn enough
(Like I ain't earn enough)
And I still keep the steel
Really stood on ten, you better
Not question if I'm street, for real
Lil' bro gon' let it blow
Know how we steppin', that's an easy kill
Foenem spinnin' blocks, they
Love them Glocks, they say we need to chill
It's like they need to drill, uh
Wonder would I still love the money
If I ain't have fame? Say she love me
Don't know her first or her last name
I barely made it out
This just how far my past came
That Richard Mille on my wrist
Now look how times changed
These niggas thinkin' I ain't street
But they don't know, for real
I'm only who I am today because my bro
For real
And they say time heal your grief, well
Why I'm hurtin' still?
I seen my mama stressed all day
How we gon' pay the bills?
It's only cold water in the sinks
I couldn't take no bath
You ever had to boil some water
Just to wash your back?
My family leaning all on me
But I don't sip no Act'
I'm out here taking care of nine
Lives like I'm a fuckin' cat
These niggas thinkin' I ain't street
But they don't know, for real
I'm only who I am today because my bro
For real
And they say time heal your grief, well
Why I'm hurtin' still?
I seen my mama stressed all day
How we gon' pay the bills?
It's only cold water in the sinks
I couldn't take no bath
