How We Living
Abra Cadabra [feat. Kush] Lyrics

Yo, I started from the flats, nigga
I came from a low-income area and built up my own success

Gave out some straps to some tapped niggas
I provided weapons to unstable individuals

Any violation, let it slap, nigga
If someone disrespects me, I retaliate with violence

Goon to a trap nigga
I am a criminal who sells drugs

Circlin', I'm flyin' out these packs, nigga
I am constantly moving and selling drugs

Only watch myself, not a fuck nigga
I only care about myself and not others

I trap, get my stack bigger
I sell drugs to accumulate more money

Run off on the plug, I need the stuff quicker
I steal drugs from my supplier to sell for more profit

Never watch karma, I'm a tough hitter
I don't believe in karma and am willing to use violence

Pray, I done a nuff sinner
I have committed many sins, but still pray

Bake of my brain like I'm stuck in a maze
I am constantly stressed and worried

Ain't do this shit for fame, I do it all for a change
I am not trying to become famous, but rather make enough money to change my circumstances

Broadwater Farm where I learned to tap triggers and slap niggas
I grew up in a dangerous area and learned how to use weapons and fight

I roll with tapped niggas
I associate with unstable individuals

Growing up I only tried to make my stack bigger
Since a young age, my main goal was to make money

Don't remember givin' a fuck 'bout bein' that nigga
I never cared about becoming popular or famous

But I'm still that anyway
Despite not trying to be popular, I still have a reputation

My man was bad, but back in the day
My friend was dangerous in the past

He a grandad now, I'll put my strap in his face if I'm feelin' a way
If my friend disrespects me or if I feel angry, I am willing to threaten him with a weapon

We runnin' up, slappin', we clap him
We attack our enemies by using violence

We hangin' and pullin' in cars
We use vehicles to commit violent acts and intimidate others

I'm bangin' and slappin', the laser beam's on his ass
I use guns and aim for my enemy's most vulnerable area

Been trappin' and stackin', I'm makin' it happen, I'm charged
I sell drugs to make money and am motivated to succeed

No chittin' and chattin', I'm doin' this all from my heart
I am committed to this criminal lifestyle and do it all voluntarily

Banged that wap on the block and got rid of it
I sold drugs on the street and quickly got rid of them

Went home and prayed to my God 'cause I'm sinnin' in it
Despite committing crimes, I still pray for forgiveness

Still see a opp the next day and go fill him with it
I am willing to commit acts of violence against my enemies

Very vicious cycle, my bruddah, I'm still livin' in it
This lifestyle of crime and violence is difficult to escape and I am still involved in it

Pick a certi' gunner when we stand on the block
We choose an experienced and trusted person to protect us while we are selling drugs

'Cause if a nigga run up, we ain't tryna get shot
If someone tries to attack us, we will use violence to protect ourselves

It's them, never us when it's gettin' on tops
We believe that others are responsible for the violence in our community, not us

Free up all my bruddahs that is locked behind locks
I want my friends who are in jail to be released

I grind nonstop, twenty-fours 'round the clock
I work hard all day and night to make money

Shorty in my ears, askin' when it's gonna stop
My girlfriend is constantly questioning when I will stop being involved in crime

But it ain't gonna stop 'til I'm satisfied with guap
I will continue to sell drugs until I have enough money to be satisfied

And them boys R.I.P. over there, hope they drop
I hope my enemies die or get arrested

We don't understand why we livin' how we livin'
We are unsure of why we are living in such a dangerous and violent community

But we livin' how we livin' cah we have to
We are living this way because we feel like we have no other choice

There's a difference when you livin' how you livin'
There is a distinction when you are living in a dangerous and violent community

And you don't know why you livin' like this when you don't have to
If you are living in a safe and stable community, you might not understand why we choose to live this way

We in this for real, my bruddah
We are seriously committed to this lifestyle

To be safe, I gotta pick my gun up
To protect myself, I need to carry a weapon

Just in case cah they just might run up
I need to be ready in case someone tries to attack me

They want me dead and I just can't let up
My enemies are trying to kill me, so I have to stay alert

That's just the usual, oh
This is a common occurrence in our lifestyle of violence and crime
