One Life Ta Live
[Intro]
Uh, the big AK Skill from raw Queens, uh
The whole Queens fam, that's how we doin' this, uh
Everyday uh, it's like this, check it

[Chorus]
I say maintain and get this money kid (Uptown)
Everyday pal, you only got one life to live (The whole Queens fam)
Make 'em ends meet for hustlin', upholdin' heat (Make this cheddar)
And watch the game, brothers talk in the street
I say maintain and get this money kid (Everyday)
Everyday pal, you only got one life to live
Make 'em ends meet for hustlin', upholdin' heat (Word)
And watch the game, brothers talk in the street (What you say son?)
Now check it

[Verse 1]
I grab the mic and express thoughts that's deep
And on my side, I keep heat 'cause n***as is trife in these streets
The AK Skills will wreck and damage competitors (Uh)
Eyes stay red from L's sparked on the regular (Word)
Brothers that know a flow, I know your feelin'
It's n***as they talk a good one but they don't know how real it is
Frontin' around the PJ's like it's a joke while I'm baggin' up everything
From cracks to weed smoke while chumps stay broke
That's just the daily routine, extortin' fiends (Uh)
Plottin' schemes to see bigger dreams involvin' cream (Uh)
Seein' papes and stacks, rippin' tracks with raps
And still maintainin' my wax for my duns and AK packs the cracks (Word is bond)
A lot of old folks can't stand me 'cause I used to sell grills
Around my build to help the people and they family (Word)
Don't blame me, you n***as ain't payin' me, I need this cabbage
I got to have it even if it's all for fiends habits
'Cause every day with these addicts, I'm tusslin'
So while these chumps run with, I'll be makin' hits and hustlin' (You know what I'm sayin'?)
Doin' my thing on the low, I got plans to blow
Up in my rest but the cess crackin' the Moët
Dodgin' these crooked Jakes, doin' what it takes
And turn goals to reality on this spin for stackin' papes (Word)
I do n***as dirty 'cause my Glock kills
This brother gets props and bills over hot deals, slingin' grills for mills
Ain't nothin' changed but the weather, however
Still pack gats that's concealed inside my Avirex leather (Yeah)
24/7 I get this cream kid, dodgin' extreme bids
It's the plan, you only got one live to life
[Chorus]
So maintain and get this money kid
Everyday pal, you only got one life to live
Make 'em ends meet for hustlin', upholdin' heat (Word is bond)
And watch the game, brothers talk in the street
I say maintain and get this money kid (Uptown, Queens fam)
Everyday pal, you only got one life to live
Make 'em ends meet for hustlin', upholdin' heat
And watch the game, brothers talk in the street

[Verse 2]
It's all about gettin' this money consistently and keep it pilin'
I represent for my peeps up North in Riker's Island (Uh)
And if they want, they gets another one
Surrounded by fake brothers, the lover's n***as snitchin' (Yeah)
The undercovers rappers better see it my way
It's like Carlito 'cause AK see dough like them Las Vegas casinos
Brothers they try to copy the styles that's sloppy
'Cause this n***a got a deal and still puff L's in the lobby (Word is bond, uh)
Ain't nothin' changed, I get the loot and stack it
And keep cheddar in all the pockets up my Northface jacket
Everyday's a struggle, gats bust, you hear a block away
Me and my team get cream, a land bought in Far Rockaway (Raw Queens, boy)
'Cause AK Skills is all about stackin' bills
My crew got big steel for fake thugs that wanna be real
I was ill before they signed me, nowadays it's hard to find me
I stay lowkey dressed in Gore-Tex, Guess and Armani
I'm in it for cheddar, not the move fakin' god jewels
For n***as that like takin' it, think they know we're brothers makin'
That's why I'm on the DL, for doubters, too many brothers I know
We tryna act like everybody except for they self (WOrd)
I take tokes up for that good lye smoke
And puff L's so strong that if you smell it, your ass might choke
Doin' my thing to get this loot kid
No one's promised tomorrow, you only got one life to live
[Chorus]
So maintain and get this money kid
Everyday pal, you only got one life to live (Word is bond)
Make 'em ends meet for hustlin', upholdin' heat (Everyday)
And watch the game, brothers talk in the street
I say maintain and get this money kid
Everyday pal, you only got one life to live
Make 'em ends meet for hustlin', upholdin' heat
And watch the game, brothers talk in the street
