[Chorus: M-Nizzle]
One life to live, so Iâm slidin' with my steel (With my steel)
Grew up in them war zones, where them youngins trained to kill (Trained to kill)
Ainât no peace up in my heart, too much trauma I conceal (I conceal)
Seen my homie on the news, that pain hit me like a drill (Like a drill)
Put my pain into these verses, this my letter to the game (To the game)
Tired of losinâ to the system or to bullets with no name (No name)
Bro prayinâ every night, hopin' I donât catch a flame (Catch a flame)
But I canât lĐ”t no opp put M-Nizzle in a frame (NevĐ”r that)
[Verse 1: M-Nizzle]
They ain't never feel this pain, had to thug through every season
Broski died without a reason, thatâs why my heart steady bleedin'
Catch me clutchinâ on my heater, fuck a opp, I don't do peaceinâ
Lost my brother to these streets, now revenge the only meaninâ
Had to make it out that jungle, now my soul stuck in that trap
I ainât never been no bitch, boy, I was raised to bust it back
Lotta nights I slept in war zones, trust was dead, I watched my back
You can see it in my eyesâainât no love, this heart too black
They said âNizz, you movinâ reckless,â but they ainât walk inside my shoes
I was starvin' with the wolves, tryna turn this pain to jewels
Every corner full of shooters, every step could make the news
So I live like thereâs no tomorrow, âcause this life donât ever choose
[Chorus: M-Nizzle]
One life to live, so Iâm slidin' with my steel (With my steel)
Grew up in them war zones, where them youngins trained to kill (Trained to kill)
Ainât no peace up in my heart, too much trauma I conceal (I conceal)
Seen my homie on the news, that pain hit me like a drill (Like a drill)
Put my pain into these verses, this my letter to the game (To the game)
Tired of losinâ to the system or to bullets with no name (No name)
Mama prayinâ every night, hopin' I donât catch a flame (Catch a flame)
But I canât let no opp put M-Nizzle in a frame (Never that)
[Verse 2: Polo G]
Had to learn the hard way, streets don't love no one, thatâs facts
I done seen too many real ones zipped up in body bags
Ridin' with a .30 stick, I ain't tryna go out sad
Catch a opp, we do him dirty, leave him folded on the grass
Switched my lane but not my ways, still gon' blow if they try me
Told my shorty, âKeep that blick,â don't be lackinâ in this climate
I was broke, they ain't believe, now my neck got perfect timinâ
Still remember nights I cried, now itâs Pateks when Iâm vibinâ
They be cappinâ in they verses, that ainât real, them boys just actinâ
We was really on them missions, tryna turn pain into action
All them losses turned me savage, heart froze, no more attachments
He got caught up tryna flexâshouldâve stayed up out that caption
Bitch, Iâm Polo, never folded, from them trenches to the top
I was duckinâ helicopters, dodginâ time behind that Glock
Seen my homie catch a bid, 20 years, he lost the clock
Thatâs why every time I slide, Iâm prayinâ I donât get caught
[Chorus: M-Nizzle]
One life to live, so Iâm slidin' with my steel (With my steel)
Grew up in them war zones, where them youngins trained to kill (Trained to kill)
Ainât no peace up in my heart, too much trauma I conceal (I conceal)
Seen my homie on the news, that pain hit me like a drill (Like a drill)
Put my pain into these verses, this my letter to the game (To the game)
Tired of losinâ to the system or to bullets with no name (No name)
Bro prayinâ every night, hopin' I donât catch a flame (Catch a flame)
But I canât let no opp put M-Nizzle in a frame (Never that)
[Verse 3: M-Nizzle]
Every block got a story, mine was written with them tears
Had to fight for every inch, had to kill off all my fears
Now itâs death behind that curtain, every knock can end a year
So I keep it on me close, that iron my volunteer
Fake love all around me, had to purge that shit from near
Now it's only day ones, real soldiers in my tier
See, they label us as threats, but we survivors out the dirt
Built this empire from pain, every lyric from the hurt
I don't glorify this life, but I ain't duckinâ from my scars
If they play, then we gonâ slideâainât no mercy in these cars
Told my youngins, âMove in silence,â play it smart and aim for stars
But if you ever in that war, go out banginâ like you Mars
