Rittz - Live and You Learn lyrics

Motherfuckers taking pics with their phones
The lights flicker and trip
'em like strobes flashin' on my throne
Sippin' Manhattans and Old Fashioneds
Hard to fathom when my holster
Get shattered like broke glasses
Smoke pass the Road Chassis
Road map and slowed traffic
No classes, so absent, IQ is below average
Growing up knowing that no one is proactive
Soak up my emotions
They lowered this closed casket
My homies are throat slashers, gold snatchin
Old masses, gold fashion, throat bash
Girbaud for the Bo Jacksons coke addicts
All that they know is the gold habit's
Won’t catch a break
Fumble the ball when they’re throwing passes
No ladders, hit a low
You should know what the vocab is
Hoes flashed us back then
Now they show us the whole package
Spin into the tree just
Like Jacqueline Onassis
Blow rappin', they told me it won’t happen
Wished they would have told me
I would owe taxes i should own my own masses

Growing up, you gon' live and you learn
One day the lord above gonna give you a turn
And when he finally does are
You willing to work?
To go and get what you're worth
Cause, I can give you my word
You gotta live and you learn
You might've been through the worst
And it can make you stronger
So forget what you heard
Just focus on the future
Not the shit that occurred
This worm slither and squirm
The more you dig in the dirt
You gotta live and you learn

Fuck diplomas, we ain't study much
Plus the drugs corrupted us
Fuck instructions
We ain't know what structure was
Hustlers with dreams, my team would scheme
Then go stick up the plug
Take a shit then run out
We ain't cut out for construction jobs
Rhyming ain't my hobby
Couple of my homies love the rush
Like the sight of blood and guts and fighting
Guys would knuckle up
Think cause you got muscles you
Gon' win this scuffle?
We gon' sucker punch you, jump you
What the fuck
You thought that we was touching gloves?
Usually dudes would grab they gun and
Bust you when they buttons push
Murders and abductions
Seeing shit you can't recover from
Trust is gone the moment that your
Homie fucked the one you love
So now you're drunk as fuck and paying
Aces at the rub and tug
I got it coming cause I used
To rub my nuts and cuss
Spittin' in the food when I was
Cooking at the country club
But, I was young and dumb
Destructive saying fuck so and so
Such and such, who is who, enough's enough

Growing up, you gon' live and you learn
One day the lord above gonna give you a turn
And when he finally does are
You willing to work?
To go and get what you're worth
Cause, I can give you my word
You gotta live and you learn

You might've been through the worst
And it can make you stronger
So forget what you heard
Just focus on the future
Not the shit that occurred
This worm slither and squirm
The more you dig in the dirt
You gotta live and you learn

Homies stealin crotch rockets, I watched em
Taking blow torches to vacuums at car washes
The kid that sat beside me in
Class was an armed robber
Our fathers walked off, we lost morals
Lost marbles stabbed David, shot Charles
Who gon’ fall out next?
The chick I went to school with
She a shot out mess
She the type that shouldn’t be
Allowed to pop out kids
She pregnant with another baby while
She shot up meth
We a product of our environment
Why are we so incapable?
Learning from our mistakes to escape
What we afraid to move a slave to all our
Vices, providing the price, we paid to lose
But came to prey the food
For all the lions, tigers, sabertooths
I made it through
I’m like a ragin’ bull inside a china shop
I survived the shots they fired
On the firing squad i just tied the knot
I used to say my timing’s off
Forgot a lot of shit
But I remember I was taught

Growing up, you gon' live and you learn
One day the lord above gonna give you a turn
And when he finally does are
You willing to work?
To go and get what you're worth
Cause, I can give you my word
You gotta live and you learn

You might've been through the worst
And it can make you stronger
So forget what you heard
Just focus on the future
Not the shit that occurred
This worm slither and squirm
The more you dig in the dirt
You gotta live and you learn
