Let me live

|
Ya'll niggas really know me from the stories I tell (tell)
|
From the lifestyle I lead and the records I sell (sell)
|
Caught up in situations detrimental to me
|
And I been through every one for the world to see
|
That time is always movin' situations do change
|
And few don't always work out just the way that we plan
|
Still stand necessary be my friend and my foe
|
Either love me or you hate me
|
That's how the game goes
|
If it's wrong to be respected never ever say die
|
Remain strong never neglect to spread my wings and fly
|
Like you I been through struggles so much stress on my brain
|
Actin' out my life on stages and still had to maintain
|
Question my every decision
|
My intentions were good
|
Twist the story all around and make me misunderstood
|
Imagine that, no privacy but that's the price of this fame
|
Under attack, my destiny to be a soldier through rain
|
|
I flow I flow
|
Like water like water
|
And my desire
|
Like fire, like fire
|
I'm kickin' up dirt
|
From the earth, the earth
|
Imaginin' I'm the wind
|
Redeliverin' from deeper within
|
|
I flow I flow
|
Like water like water
|
And my desire
|
Like fire, like fire
|
I'm kickin' up dirt
|
From the earth, the earth
|
Imaginin' I'm the wind
|
Redeliverin' from deeper within
|
|
Let me live live
|
Let me live
|
In in inside
|
Inside intelligence
|
Say it say it say it
|
What you gotta say
|
Always ask
|
And you will be amazed
|
|
Let me live live
|
Let me live
|
In in inside
|
Inside intelligence
|
Say it say it say it
|
What you gotta say
|
Always ask
|
And you will be amazed
|
|
Just to make it in this world and go against all odds
|
Come from the gritty, in the city, to a superstar
|
Number one hit consistently for 10 long years
|
Put my soul in every project my blood, sweat, and my tears
|
Y'all know my status Left Eye the baddest
|
Underestimate don't hate it I keep it lavish
|
But it don't mean nothin' if I can't find peace of mind
|
Packin' all distractions away leave 'em behind
|
Say goodbye part-time small crimes and felonies
|
A new beginnin' I'm winnin' envision' the breeze
|
I'm dressed in all white linen and fallin' to my knees
|
Thankful for all that's been given I'm livin' with ease
|
Tropical trees 90 degrees please
|
Do like the birds and the bees and start a family
|
So reminisce on every line that I wrote
|
Know that I never will surrender and it's truth that I spoke
|
|
I flow I flow
|
Like water like water
|
And my desire
|
Like fire, like fire
|
I'm kickin' up dirt
|
From the earth, the earth
|
Imaginin' I'm the wind
|
Redeliverin' from deeper within
|
|
Let me live live
|
Let me live
|
In in inside
|
Inside intelligence
|
Say it say it say it
|
What you gotta say
|
Always ask
|
And you will be amazed
|
|
Let me live live
|
Let me live
|
Let me love love
|
Let me love
|
Let me learn learn
|
Let me learn
|
Let me laugh laugh
|
Let me laugh
|
|
Let me see see
|

|
Let me sing sing
|

|
Let me smile smile
|

|
Let me ask ask
