Z-Ro - Live Your Life lyrics

You're embarrassing Raymond Washington
And Tookie Williams you're not even part
Of revolutionary progress
They were built in if young G's follow you
It's the blind leading the blind
All you can teach em
Is how to throw up gang signs
Community loyalty united eternally
That's what I claim
Check my back left pocket
And the flag that hang
To me it's a way of living
But to you it's just a gang
Thinking you can get something from me
Cause you say we the same thang
I'm a man first, then my mother's child
Joseph Wayne McVey, then I'm H double O-V-A
I wish I knew who your OG was
Cause I'd smoke him
Leave both of y'all with your eyes open

My OG use to say take your time, young G
My OG use to say
Don't be in a rush, to get striped
My OG use to say
Keep your flag, on the proper side
And as long as you keep it real
You can live your life, live your life

In jail, niggas bang for soups and sodas
But when the real shit hit the real fan
They won't go in the corner
I don't even see the point
Of banging on lock
Cause, I don't know none of these niggas
And this ain't my block
Mr oG you about to leave, please
Don't hand me the keys
I don't wanna be in charge of these wannabe's
I'm not a babysitter
Somebody call me daddy when I'm in the world
I see more go to fo', in my lil' girl
Don't get it twisted
I see if you real B's and C's
And walk it the way they talk it
Not just trying to be seen cool as a fan
But when it get gangsta they'll have
That tool in they hand
Banging up your gang, even swell up your hand

I know I can't sell weed, cause I be smoking
I know I can't see a pimp either
Because I'ma be doing too much poking
And I can't turn a hoe, into a housewife
Although I tried, guess I got caught up in
Them thick ass thighs
You live and you learn
Sometimes my life is like a movie
Even my own loc's, trying to do me
But, I said try
Fucking over Joseph just ain't gon' fly
You gon' need a steak
To put over your eye that's on the H
It's death before dishonor
And I live by the code
I would do you for the slightest reason
My gun is gon' unload so don't run up on me
Talking bout a knowledge check
Nowadays wannabe Bloods and Crips
Getting it off the internet
I guess you can, get the game for free
But homie, you won't get the game from me
And when I pray I pray to God
I don't bow my head to no other man
Keeping that cracking is a part of my plan
Yeeeah
