Hold up

Me and my dawgs so day one

You would think we didn't, grow up

Cause all they say

The good die young, all the good don't last

So what? I brought a record deal to the middle of the map

And I still, ain't blow up

Fuck fame, we don't need no one, me and my team pour up

All day roll up, celebratin' every day we don't spend poorer

Hesitation never get a closed mouth fed

Hesitation never booked a ten day tour, but I did, I did

And that was as a motherfucking kid, in the hood I was a young Brad Pitt

Cause I was that shit, and that's when I was hopping on the 19, grinding, plotting on this, so I need that pronto

Dreaming of the view on the top floor, three million views on a talk show

Now I'm finna tell the world who I talk for, this is for the ones

Riding around, smoking that dope

Riding around, smoking that dope

This is for the ones

High cause the flow so dope

High cause the flow so dope

If you been a real motherfucker your whole life

Live the hard-knock life and you can't pay bills, shit, that's all right

I feel that

But if you're gonna chill motherfucker, don't hold back, smoke up

And we can live a little bit, cause we ain't worried about shit

We ain't worried about shit

You ain't living this life though

You ain't living my life

You can't do it

You ain't living this life though

You ain't living my life

I've been through it

You ain't living this life though

You ain't living this life

You can't do it

You ain't living my life though

You ain't living my life

I've been through it

Let me talk

I remember you when you were just a teen

Battle rapping on 116th

Take the rapid to the square, I meet B

Posted in the trap with the shrimp for weeks

(What happened?)

I love you C-L-E, that's why I'm trying to take us to the T-O-P

I'm sick of seeing suckas busy, always trying to leech, lucky I ain't never charged a hundred fifty for a feat, cause

Everybody want some

Seen me on the television once, think I'm balling but really I ain't got none

Why you think I never changed?

Y'all don't get it

Tell me, how would you feel?

If you went back home and the love's all gone cause you always kept it too real

Tell them bum motherfuckers go and get it on your own

This is for the ones who stuck with your boy like glue

One time for the crew, the ones who'd never leave me for the loot, the ones who, if I need, gon' shoot

This is for the ones who smoking that dope

Riding around, smoking that dope

This is for the ones

High cause the flow so dope

High cause the flow so dope

Kells

If you been a real motherfucker your whole life

Live the hard-knock life and you can't pay bills, shit, that's all right

I feel that

But if you're gonna chill motherfucker, don't hold back, smoke up

And we can live a little bit, cause we ain't worried about shit

We ain't worried about shit

You ain't living this life though

You ain't living my life

You can't do it

You ain't living this life though

You ain't living my life

I've been through it

You ain't living this life though

You ain't living this life

You can't do it

You ain't living my life though

You ain't living my life

I've been through it

Ladies and Gentlemen, Mr. Machine Gun Kelly

Ha ha, ow

Ain't nobody love me as a broke motherfucker

When I was a youngin' from the O, motherfucker

See me on the come up, never spoke, motherfucker

Tell me how you figure that I owe motherfuckers

Now I think about them, man I own motherfuckers

I be charging twenty just to host motherfuckers

I was just with *beep* in the Ghost, motherfuckers

Y'all need to worry about your car notes, motherfuckers

Aye, can I live?

Maybe I could if everybody put one foot in my kicks

And realize I own this shit

Give me one good spliff, to the face

Put the city on my back like capes

Super OG in the papes, realEST motherfucker in the race

Young Kells, put the name to the face

Uh
