[Hook]
You know it’s me, who can it be?
Akil The MC, L.I.V.E. (x3)
Who can it be? You know it’s me
Akil The MC, L.I.V.E. (x3)

[Verse 1]
It’s all live, check my mic line
Drop the beat so you can hear my voice in real time
Yea it’s all me, who you thought I be?
Who you thought I was? Just another emcee?
Well I’m from S.C., Los Angeles
California Correctional Facility
In the land of that gangbang mentality
I learned to emcee, L.I.V.E

[Hook]

[Verse 2]
So now you know it’s live, you know it’s party time
Rotisserie flavour for the hungry mind
First encounter of a verse and rhyme
It’s like being in the right place at the right time
Golden, holdin’ on to what I know
Verbally outspoken, a real live showman
Lyrically I’m potent, on point, focussed
Ain’t no hoes hockin’ us
With a little magic dust, really can’t be mad at us
That was just [?] we was brought us
Fuck gettin’ caught up
Stuck, got our luck in the devil’s gut
I ain’t tryna be down if we ain’t comin’ up
Too many under the ground and they ain’t gettin’ up
A black man’s guide “How to survive when shit is fucked up”
Right, right, right
So instead of doin’ crimes I’m wrote rhymes, now I live it up
