What's Life? - TAN

Ain’t nobody deep down when I look

Ain’t nobody know I’m scared when I’m shook

Coz my heart beat fast but I stay cold

So composure stay set in the room

My friends never really know when I’m hurtin'

Put my mask on, stay strong and it’s working

Turn the beat on, be gone for a second

Then I reach home, peace gone for the moment

Man screw a best friend, I don’t need that

When I was suicidal, I ain’t see them

When I ain’t gettin' viral, they don’t greet back

But now I’m homicidal, finna kill them

Sit back, feel that, when I’m depressed

«Relax, you ain’t bad.

You a bit sad»

Like he felt like I felt when my G’s fell

Like he bled like I bled from that deep blade

He jus' ran his meth mouth he ain’t relate

Like everybody else I know he a cheap fake

Always finna sell you out like its retail

Your soul ain’t safe coz the devil in the detail

Kneel, pray each day for Him to keep safe

Be great, shift weight, while I get paid

Replay, freeze frame, later next grade

Team great, 'nuff said, I’m an upgrade

Back laid, hell raised, but I’m not crae

Get baked, breathe in then I exhale

Think back, reflect to this bad day

Then I turn the volume up and I escape…

What’s life for a nigga like me?

Why life when they wanna kill me?

What’s rhymes for a nigga like Deë?

Why lie when you wanna be free?

Why try when you’ll never fit in?

What’s life for a nigga like me?

Hey…

Why life when they wanna kill me?

What’s rhymes for a nigga like Deë?

Why lie when you wanna be free?

Why try when you’ll never fit in?

Hey

What’s life for a nigga like me?

Hey…

Ain’t nobody deep down when I look there

Ain’t nobody know I’m scared when I’m shook here

Coz my heart beat fast but I stay cold

So composure stay set in the room, yeah

My girl sad, she say that I’m distant

She say we only speak when I’m lifted

What’s sad is that it’s true and I know

But sometimes I don’t feel like I’m really that gifted

Coz a lot woke last summer when my heart broke

My eyes opened like that season when I lost hope

I got choked, she ain’t notice when I last spoke

It’s nice though, let’s keep singin' over blunt totes

I do my best to ignore these problems

She brings the stress she try to resolve 'em

I’m in a mess she try to restore me

Maybe she should understand;

I don’t wanna be saved (I don’t wanna be saved)

Maybe I don’t wanna be changed

Hell no, I don’t wanna be caged (I don’t wanna be caged)

Or be told what to do in a situation where what I love is making me wail

(Gettin' me to wail…)

Coz the silly banter, with the silly nonsense

It be gettin' in the way of our timid progress (Gettin' in our way)

But I really want ya, you jus' need to know that;

Sometimes I don’t want to be really smothered…(I jus' want my space…)

So what’s life for a nigga like me, hey.

Why life when they wanna kill me?

What’s rhymes for a nigga like Deë?

Why lie when you wanna be free?

Why try when you’ll never fit in?

Hey…

What’s life for a nigga like?

What’s life for a nigga like me???

Ain’t nobody down there, coz I be livin' up here

Ain’t no reason to belittle what we buildin' out’ea

My enemies got scared, get rid of their conscience

They be seeing what a god is living among them

They were hatin', goddamn

But then when the gun jammed

I realised I was really livin' in God’s plan

G knows coz he was a witness

He seen growth and he cav' that I been blessed

We been grown, man it’s all in the pictures

When we hit gold man it’s all gonn be different

Lalela the flows dude, my enemies so shook

The be thinkin' that they next when I’m ready to go shoot

What’s life for a nigga like me?

Why life when they wanna kill me?

What’s rhymes for a nigga like Deë?

Why lie when you wanna be free?

Why try when you’ll never fit in?

So what’s Life for a nigga like me, hey.
