[Intro/Bridge: Dana]

I know that life is short

But we can't move too fast

[Verse 1: Freddie]

Hit the block, dressed in white, same Bo Jackson Nikes

Call my partner Mike, copped a pint, put fo' in my Sprite

55 a line, that's aight cause I'm 'bout that life

Pussy on my mind, bitch you tired, it's that mouth tonight

Weed and waffles in the morning

Downtown Chicago, smoking on some shit that I imported

MDMA, light up a J, sometimes she like to snort it

And shit was too dry with that Tony, bitch now I'm reloaded

Bitch I'm reloaded

And I'm chopping up the hard, dopeboy I played my part

Fuck with the gangsta type, ain't got no stripes, then you's a mark

Smoking Carolina Blue fresh out the Carolina Park

So much gunplay in the day, just might be safer in the dark

And this Glock ain't got no safety, the owner got no patience

So please don't make my finger and this trigger make relations

Said this Glock ain't got no safety, straight make yo ass a patient

Guess I'll slang until my grave or take that federal vacation

Nigga, nigga

[Bridge]

[Hook: Freddie]

These niggas want it so I'm chopping up the hard, I'm chopping up the hard

These niggas say they want it so I'm chopping up the hard

Said I'm chopping up the hard, I'm chopping up the hard

These geekers say they on it so I'm chopping up the hard, nigga

[Verse 2: Freddie]

Whip the crack, dressed in black, just picked up a pack

Feeling great, dropped some 28s, got 'em jumping back

Jumping up, what the fuck, G.I. they don't fuck with us

Most these niggas out the Mid wasn't breathing 'til I bust a nut

Rob a nigga, father figure, dope house was my college nigga

Plus my part time job didn't make no dollars, I'm a water whipper

See through you like windows, basis of your heart is artificial

Mob of hungry niggas like we came straight out of Mogadishu

What's the issue? Stack full of pancakes and my pistol

Shit official, when you see the police, nigga hit that whistle

They out to get you, so fuck all my opponents

They can peel me off this corner cause I know...

[Hook]

[Verse 3: Dana]

I know that life is short

(Life's short, know what I'm saying, you gotta get moving, know what I mean)

But we can't move too fast

(Know what I'm saying, I ain't tryna run a race or no shit like that, you know)

Cause if we go right now

(Nigga just tryna get out here and chop, chop it up and get mine, you know

Piece of the pie)

It will never last

In the morning

When the sun comes up

And everything is cold

It's a new day

And all of it is beautiful

Or so I thought

[Freddie]

Just let me make it to another morning [x4]

[Hook]
