[Intro: Lil Keke]
It’s something special about a street n***a
We cut different

[Bridge]
Never left the game, done overcame the pressure
Living like a King, this dream was something special
Aye, yeah
It feel good when you stand strong
Go get the paper, bring it back and put your mans on

[Verse 1]
Suffered, through the pain and sweat, with no regret
These n***as hungry, tell ‘em the tables set
Now say your grace, amen
I remember cooking, hitting stains in a Days Inn
Every day we prayed for better, but got worse
Its feeling like we skipping the gift, to get the curse
So, where the purse, the money first
N***as wanna take the lead, but can't succeed
A rare breed, no greed
Never ever bite the hand that gotta feed
You, be careful how you move and what you do
And you never judge a man unless you walked in his shoes

[Chorus]
Live by it, die by it
I
Live by it, die by it
Why?
If you live by it, you die by it
Don't cry
Keep it solid, look a man in his eye
Because I
[Bridge]
Never left the game, done overcame the pressure
Living like a King, this dream was something special
Aye, yeah
It feel good when you stand strong
Go get the paper, bring it back and put your mans on

[Verse 2]
Comeback with the sack on my back and put the team on
Reminiscing puffing them squares, until the green gone
Now the screens on, and the lights bright
Don Ke, I went self-made to get my life right
Yeah, I can see clearly
My n***as doing time, yeah I’m missing them dearly
Fuck all you haters, man I say that sincerely
And if it ain’t my people, I don’t let them come near me
They movin’ too queerly, its more money herely
I do it for the streets, and I’m happy they feel me
So good Lord steer me, I’m taking a walk
And I just speak it as a legend, and they loving the talk
Don Ke

[Chorus: Lil Keke]
Live by it, die by it
I
Live by it, die by it
Why?
If you live by it, you die by it
Don't cry
Keep it solid, look a man in his eye
Because I
Never left the game, done overcame the pressure
Living like a King, this dream was something special
Aye, yeah
It feel good when you stand strong
Go get the paper, bring it back and put your mans on
