Testo Life & Luxury - MC Lyte feat. Eric Dawkins
Testo della canzone Life & Luxury (MC Lyte feat. Eric Dawkins), tratta dall'album 1 of 1
Yeah
Here to shed some light
You or them, you're out here getting your paper (yeah)
In this industry (yeah)
Sometimes it feels like the walls be closing in
I stay praying for the door and the opening
I see a lot of fakeness, and y'all toast to them
But I'm real, I never claim to be close to them (so real)
I live a privileged life, I get chauffeured in
Follow rules, good girl, I'm supposed to win
But in between times, some of the lines, they get blurred
Words and doubt can leave you so discouraged
Nothing good could ever come by way of a hurry
And I'm sure God don't move quicker just 'cause you worry
But the pitfalls that I saw, the time with the see-saws
The blind leading the blind, the creed with the cheap talk
The traps they set, life ain't tough enough (word)
They wanna test you, see if you're walking to rough
For all I sacrificed, truth is all is a I got
And the plaques I stock, some of y'all forgot? (Forgot?)
Life and luxury, so ambitious
Always hustling, don't lose sight of what you dream
Things ain't always what they seem
Life is full, full of messes
Though it's hard, I see the blessing
I'm driven, I have vision
Livin' proof that (yeah) I'm the author of my dream
I lived the finest of life, but understand it came with (yeah)
Playing a pawn, in the palm of the underhanded
So the summer plan is to gain the upper hand
Come harder than the three, the new lots in Sutter Ave
Got my feelings on my sleeve, but they sure to cut a hand
When they hear the goal is for me to blow up and expand
Been planning while I'm tanning down in Ocho Rios (yeah)
Eternal with my journal and a mug of miso (whoa-oh)
Keep it trim with the keto and the shot of Tito's (I gotta trim)
Feeling like I'm home with a flock of my amigos
Been so on my grind (whoa-oh-oh), every line is lethal (yeah)
Sitting in a bistro, crowded, I can see though
My future bright, I can see it from the smallest peephole
And no matter how you play it, baby, we ain't equal
It's whatever, be this, not one instead of me
One of one, get it done, I run from no one
Life, life and luxury, so ambitious
Always hustling, don't lose sight of what you dream
Things ain't always what they seem
Life is full, all full of lessons
Though it's hard, I see the blessing
I'm driven, I have vision (yeah)
Livin' proof that I'm the author of my dream (yeah)
Forget accepting anything that they hand to you
It's a shame, some of them programmable
Oh, put your ethics aside, along with your pride
Now they got you doing things you can't stand to do
Monkey see, monkey you been the tail on the donkey doo
I call them out, call me rude, sistas with this bad attitudes
I did that, hope you never burn a bridge
Fire hit and you toast 'cause the ghost is permanent
Free yourself on the way up, why you play tough?
They'll pop you like a good year and watch you shake up
Spend the rest of your days tryna get it back
No more fly cars or Cartier bags
The game chewed you up and spit you out
Never thought there'd be a day that it's you they talk about
So ungrateful, you were the best
But the best can become the most hated for less
I seen it with my own eyes
Life and luxury, so ambitious
Always hustling, don't lose sight of what you dream (what you dream)
Things ain't always what they seem
Life is full, full of lessons
Though it's hard, I see the blessing
I'm driven, I have vision
Livin' proof that I'm the author of my dream
Don't lean back
Homie, lean into it
Groove so you in it
Gotta move to it
Got everything to prove with
Everything's on the line every time
Everything's on the line every time
Bring your best to it
Bring you to it
Be you with it
Yeah
Telling the shit someone told me, you know?
Be on your best game
Yeah
This is dedicated to all the kings
And all the soon to be kings
