[Chorus]
Every time I think about it I understand
I could never live without it
Every time I think about it I understand
I could never live without it
Every time I think about it I understand
I could never live without it
Every time I think about it I understand
I could never live without it

[Verse 1]
People be sleeping
I see em peeking
Throw up the peace sign
Then leave em in pieces

But I don’t like wartime
I just want more time
I can’t afford time
To get wasted on more crime

Try to raise hell the streets
I don’t go well with defeat
I am compelled to be great
You’re ignorant, I gotta teach
I’m making it big with my knowledge
I can’t wait to graduate college
If I take a risk, I go all in
They never gon' we ain’t ballin

[Bridge]
'Cause we ballin' now
With some of my friends, I’m falling out
If we made a deal, they would let me down
Not a whole lot I would keep around

[Chorus]
Every time I think about it I understand
I could never live without it
Every time I think about it I understand
I could never live without it
Every time I think about it I understand
I could never live without it
Every time I think about it I understand
I could never live without it

So I’m ballin' now
With some of my fam, they’re not around
It’s so hard to say that we safe and sound
Got people who wanna come take me down
