What Your Life Like
Lil Durk Lyrics

What your life like?
Durk is curious about the lifestyle of the people he comes across.

The streets is my hustle, I've been through the struggle
Growing up on the streets was his way of life, and he has faced many hardships.

Where them people be with you, but they really don't love you
People may show you support, but it's not always genuine.

I'm addicted to sidewalks, I'm workin', no time off
Always on the move, hustling to make money with little time for rest.

Gotta gain that time lost
He has wasted time in the past, and needs to make up for it now.

I'ma ask them niggas, tell me what your life like
He wants to hear from others about their experiences and struggles.

You can't turn up on them social sites, thinkin' it's gon' be alright
Posting about a lavish lifestyle on social media won't solve real-life problems.

Beef at 6, he dead by 6 o'clock, on the dot that night
Violence can escalate quickly and have deadly consequences.

Ain't easy where I'm at, why? Stick up man, he love that shit
Living in his neighborhood is risky because people rob and steal frequently.

Go to jail, she fuck your man, you write and call, don't love that bitch
Women may not be loyal when their men are incarcerated and should not be trusted blindly.

I ride with too much auto-tune, I heard that shit before
Other rappers use auto-tune heavily, and he wants a more unique sound.

This my life, I run my life, your life, I seen that shit before
He is in control of his own life and has seen similar struggles in the lives of others.

My mixtape drop, I crash the site, don't be lurkin' after night
Fans should download his mixtape as soon as it's released to avoid crashing the site.

Shooters hungry and these snakes is bologna, that's their appetite
People around him are willing to do whatever it takes to make money, including violence.

Welcome to these city streets
An introduction to the dangerous streets he grew up on.

No gang related car crash
Car crashes are not uncommon, but they are not always gang-related.

And he still won't get no money from these city streets
Despite the danger, people do not always profit from living on the streets.

My crazy life, no YG
His life is full of chaos and danger, like YG's life.

Ask the Lord, why me?
He questions why he had to grow up in such a difficult environment.

I know my name, it's on my ID
He is proud of his identity and where he comes from.

They say the murder started after Ls, now my phone got shit to tell
He has heard rumors that murders in his area are connected to a specific drug.

Take it wrong, they got it after "Dis Ain't What U Want"
His message is often misunderstood, especially with the release of that particular song.

Nigga this ain't what you want, got that call, they cancelled 20 shows
People don't always understand his message, leading to canceled performances.

That's money down the drain, I got kids, don't take it wrong
Canceled shows mean he loses out on money, causing him financial stress.

Fuck all this peace shit, I'm with this beef shit
He is tired of promoting peace and is ready to fight back.

Don't ask me to leave shit, if I do it won't mean shit
He won't back down, and leaving won't make any difference in the long run.

Like will I be rich? 10 years, will I be shit? After all I am the shit
He wonders if he will ever achieve financial success, but remains confident in his ability.

Got the label all on my dick
His success has caught the attention of his record label.

Name my niggas' names in a song, police mask the face
Naming his associates in a song could lead to their arrest or harm.

I do it for the Vine not knowin' that it's buildin' case
Recording actions for social media could incriminate him without him being aware of it.

Started from the building base, I got a bill to pay
He came from humble beginnings, and has financial obligations to meet.

Why the fuck these niggas steady hate?
He wonders why people continue to hate on him despite his success.
