Intro

Yeah

Uh

West side

Check it

Verse 1

Woke up to the sunrise on cracked pavement

Mama worked doubles just to pay the rent

I ain't have a bike so I ran through the block

Learned early that the quiet ones get got

Now I move different when I step outside

Keep my circle tiny and my eyes open wide

They smile in my face then they talk behind

I peep the whole act I ain't blind

Pre-Chorus

So who really riding

Who really sliding

Who gonna fold when it's time to decide

Chorus

I do this to live not to prove nothing to you

I do this to live every scar every bruise

I do this to live put my people on too

I do this to live that's the only thing true

Post-Chorus

Live

Live

That's the only thing true

Live

Live

Verse 2

You claim you the hardest but you never been tested

Bragging on a block that you never invested

I built mine from nothing with patience and nerve

You borrowed your story you don't deserve

My cousin did years for a bag that ain't his

So don't tell me nothing about how real it is

I feed four mouths before I feed my own pride

You flex for the cameras I grind for the tribe

Pre-Chorus

So who really riding

Who really sliding

Who gonna fold when it's time to decide

Chorus

I do this to live not to prove nothing to you

I do this to live every scar every bruise

I do this to live put my people on too

I do this to live that's the only thing true

Bridge

Patience

Pressure

Prayer

I ain't chasing nothing that'll leave me bare

Count your blessings count your losses

Then count who stayed when it cost you

Chorus

I do this to live not to prove nothing to you

I do this to live every scar every bruise

I do this to live put my people on too

I do this to live that's the only thing true

Post-Chorus

Live

Live

That's the only thing true

Live

Live

Yeah

Uh

West side
