Isaiah Rashad Lyrics

This life I live like, baby don't drink like
The way I live my life involves not drinking excessively.

Baby don't think too much, don't drive
I advise my Baby not to overthink or drive recklessly.

I got here, I can't even tell my nigga
I made significant progress, but I can't even share it with my friend.

Ain't a damn thing parked outside
I don't have a car parked outside.

Size of my cup, nigga I'm Gucci
The size of my cup indicates that I'm doing well financially.

Sides of my hair, nigga I'm Boosie
The way my hair is styled represents my identity and my background like the artist Boosie.

Nigga burnt out, can't even catch fire no more
I am exhausted and unable to regain my energy or motivation.

Figured it was just a West Side movie
I thought that my life and struggles were unique to the West Side, but I realized they are universal.

But thank God I got my bank, where I keep my heart inside
I am grateful for my finances, where I can keep my emotions and values safe.

And I keep it far away from all these hoes and flashin' lights
I keep my emotions and values away from temptation and superficial distractions.

I'm like Granny with the whip, I'm not Oprah with these hoes
I am like an experienced driver, not someone who is easily swayed by others.

And I keep a snoopy broad because it keep me on my toes
I keep a curious woman around to challenge me and keep me alert.

We been ridin' for ten exits and I still been in your door
We've been driving for a while and I'm still close to you.

We get better by the steps so if I ever let you go
We improve by taking it one step at a time, so if I were to let you go...

Baby you classy, baby you got it
You are elegant and successful, you have it all.

Baby you ain't really 'spossed to do the whole thing
You don't need to do everything to be successful.

Bitch too smart, got lost just fuckin' with a nigga
The woman was too intelligent and lost herself while only focusing on her relationship with a man.

Got tossed cause a nigga couldn't think
The relationship ended badly because the man couldn't think clearly.

I was billin' in the back, I was chillin' in the back
I was making money in the background, staying relaxed.

Cause I always really wanna be that nigga in the back
My preference is to stay behind the scenes, and not out in front.

You don't live it really, I can show you how to live
You haven't really experienced life, and I can show you how to live it well.

But I promise I can show a pussy nigga how to act
I can also teach someone who is cowardly how to act bravely.

Junked out smokin' from the side door
I'm smoking and feeling good from a side entrance.

With a bitch I wanted in the eighth grade
I'm with a woman I had a crush on back in eighth grade.

Hope you got an ass like Nori
I hope the woman has a voluptuous behind like Kim Kardashian, nicknamed Nori.

Hope you pussy niggas never see me
I hope those who are cowardly or weak don't cross paths with me.

This is why I never wanna feed ya
This is why I don't want to support you or your behavior.

Cause I can tell you bitches got a limit
I can tell you women have their limits.

I can be subjective 'bout you fuckin' up the highway
I can have a personal, biased opinion about you causing problems on the highway.

You fuckin' up the ride, why you fuckin' up the heist?
You're messing up the plans and the opportunity, why are you doing this?

I remember lookin' from the outside
I remember being an outsider looking in.

I remember workin' up the work day
I remember working hard every day.

I remember nigga havin' nothin' but my momma
I remember when I had nothing, only my mother.

And some starter on my mothafuckin' birthday, birthday
And I only had a starter jacket on my birthday.

Baby can I live it like a body?
Can I live my life to the fullest, like a corpse at rest?

Let my momma smoke it 'til she finish
Let my mother smoke, until she's done.

Let a nigga sip it all alone babe
Let me drink, by myself.

It's been a long day, I'm in a high 10:30
It's been a long day, and I'm feeling intoxicated.

All my niggas tell me that they want it
All my friends tell me that they want success.

Hope I see my niggas at the finish
I hope to see my friends at the end of our journey.
