[Intro: Freddie Gibbs]
Yeah, yeah
Diego, roll me one up, my n***a
Yeah, yeah, Kane, yeah

[Verse 1: Freddie Gibbs]
The future started yesterday, n***a
Every minute feelin' different, I am not the same n***a
I admit that I was timid at a younger age, n***a
Daddy asked me what I wanna be, I said, "A paid n***a"
Whippin' extras out the pot, I gave myself a raise, n***a
Heaven sent, I can't remember the last time I prayed, n***a
So the Devil introduced me to cookin' cocaine, n***a
On the blade, seven days, ain't bathe or shave, n***a
I was, thuggin' with my trey-eight
Motherfuck a president, I got a Presidential Day-date
I run a check up like a Chase bank
The police open up the package if your shipment come a day late
I just beat a rape case—groupie-bitch I never fucked
Tried to give me ten for some pussy that I never touched
At a certain level, system tried to test a n***a's nuts
N***a hire like eleven lawyers—had to level up, yeah

[Chorus: Brittany B & Freddie Gibbs]
Living this life, just me, myself and I
(Level up, you know a n***a had to level up)
If I gotta be by myself, I'ma be alright
(Level up, you know a n***a had to level up)
Living this life, just me, myself and I
(Level up, you know a n***a had to level up)
And if I gotta be by myself, I'ma be alright
(Level up, you know a n***a had to level up)
[Verse 2: Freddie Gibbs]
The future started yesterday n***a
Every minute feelin' different, I am not the same n***a
Had a baby, now my daughter gettin' up in age, n***a
When I die, I bet she say, "My daddy was a paid n***a"
'Round the world, jail system like a slave trade, n***a
Got me in this foreign prison, monkey in a cage, n***a
Bail paid, locked me up for an extra 30 days, n***a
Barely let us use the shower, ain't bathed or shaved, n***a
I was, sittin' in a cell missin' show dates
Commissary late, I'm postin' pictures with the toothpaste
Barely eat the food, stress'll make a n***a lose weight
Enter the mental of a n***a that wish he knew his fate
Shit these bitches do to try to get your cash
Erica visit, can't wipe her tears from behind the glass
Choppin' the porcelain up for years, said I'm suckin' glass
I beat the DEA and the task, now I'm on my ass
Future started yesterday, n***a
Every minute feelin' different, I am not the same n***a
Donald Trump gon' chain us up and turn back to slaves, n***a
Got the recipe for dope, my reparations paid, n***a
Feel like that at some point, really I should feel ashamed, n***a
They kill us, we killin' us, but that is not the way, n***a
Money tree up in the stripper club, I'm throwin' shade, n***a
Did destruction on your flow when I paved the lane, n***a
Chest to chopper, blow your chest out, where your heart at, n***a?
Black Tony, Babyface, better scar that n***a
Sent the hit out, I'm just waitin' on the call back, n***a
Shoot them pussies, burn it up, don't bring the car back, n***a
Gangsta G, I fucked the industry, them crackers say I'm too aggressive
I turned myself into a boss without a fuckin' question
Six whips, ghetto n***a gotta be excessive
I came up on fried bologna, boy, what you expected?
What you expected?
[Chorus: Brittany B & Freddie Gibbs]
Living this life, just me, myself and I
(Level up, you know a n***a had to level up)
If I gotta be by myself, I'ma be alright
(Level up, you know a n***a had to level up)
Living this life, just me, myself and I
(Level up, you know a n***a had to level up)
And if I gotta be by myself, I'ma be alright
(Level up, you know a n***a had to level up)

[Outro: Brittany B]
Ooh, I will be alright
Ooh, I will live my life
Ooh, I will be alright
Ooh, I will live my life
Living this life, just me, myself and I
If I gotta be by myself, I'ma be alright
Living this life, just me, myself and I
If I gotta be by myself, I'ma be alright
