|
[Verse 1:]
|
Ya'll never really know me from the stories I tell
|
From the lifestyle I lead and the records I sell
|
Caught up in situations detrimental to me
|
And I been through every war just for the world to see
|
(That time) is always moving situations do change
|
(And Things) don't always work out just the way that we planned
|
(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 neglected spread my wings and fly
|
(Like You) Ive been though struggles so much stress on my brain
|
Actin' out my life on stages and still had to maintain
|
(Question every decision) My intentions were good
|
Twist the story all around and leave me misunderstood
|
(Imagine That) No privacy but that's the price of this fame
|
(Under attack) my destiny to be a soldier through fame
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
Let me live live
|
Let me live
|
In in side inside intelligence
|
Say say say say what you gotta say
|
Always asking you will amazed
|
Let me live live
|
Let me live
|
In in side inside intelligence
|
Say say say say what you gotta say
|
Always ask and you will amazed
|
|
[Verse 2:]
|
Just to make it in the world and go against all odds
|
Come from the gritty inner city to a superstar
|
Number one hits consistently for ten long years
|
Put my soul in every project my blood sweat and my tears
|
Ya'll know my status
|
Left eye the badest
|
Underestimate don't hate and I keep it lavish
|
But it don't mean nothing If I cant find peace of mind
|
Packing all distractions away leave them behind
|
Say goodbye hard times small crimes and felonies
|
A new beginning im winning envisioning the breeze
|
I'm dressed in all white linen and falling to my knees
|
Thankful for all that's been given, I'm living, with ease
|
Tropical trees 90 degrees, please
|
Do like the birds and the bees and start a family
|
So remise on every line that I wrote
|
Know that I never will surrender and its truth that I spoke
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
Let me live live
|
Let me live
|
In in side inside intelligence
|
Say say say say what you gotta say
|
Always asking you will amazed
|
Let me live live
|
Let me live
|
In in side inside intelligence
|
Say say say say what you gotta say
|
Always ask and you will amazed
|
|
I flew I flew like water like water
|
Am I desire like fire like fire
|
I'm picking up the dirt from the earth the earth
|
Imaging I'm the wind redelivering from people within
|
I flew I flew like water like water
|
Am I desire like fire like fire
|
I'm picking up the dirt from the earth the earth
|
Imaging I'm the wind redelivering from people within
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
Let me live live
|

|
In in side inside intelligence
|
Say say say say what you gotta say
|
Always asking you will amazed
|
Let me live live
|

|
In in side inside intelligence
|
Say say say say what you gotta say
|
Always ask and you will 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 see
|
Let me say say, let me say
|
Let me smile smile, let me smile
|
Let me ask ask, let me ask
