[Chorus]

You can live true, baby,^✦ you can live trife (Live trife)

Whatever^✦ way you choose, you got to live your life

Ayo, you're runnin'^✦ out of time and you 'bout to cross

The finish^✦ line (Ha), the finish^✦ line (Ha)

You can live true, baby,^✦ you can live trife (Word up, right, right)

Whatever^✦ way you choose, you got to live your life

Son, you're runnin'^✦ out of time and you 'bout to cross

The finish^✦ line (Ha), the finish^✦ line

[Verse 2]

Yo, everyday I see you on the block smokin'^✦ (Hah)

With a bunch of niggas^✦ scopin'^✦ on how they can split you wide open!^✦

You don't even^✦ know what's goin' on up in your circle

Awful murder^✦ niggas^✦ itch to leave you black, blue and purple (Ha)

Your man came to put you on and tried to make you breathe

Hit you with some shit that left you flippin' mad in disbelief (Ha)

You just can't believe that niggas^✦ that you smoke with is on it

And the way they rass they really^✦ got to bust yo' shit! (Woo)

Thought your man was joking^✦ (Ha), paid no attention^✦ to the situation^✦

Got with your crew and just continued smokin'^✦ (Boh)

Now your man sit and watch you panic!

In any^✦ other^✦ situation^✦ you'd be frontin'^✦ like you gigantic!

I guess all that frontin'^✦ is your main talent

It's apparent^✦ (Ha), he can see right through you like you transparent^✦ (Ha)

Huuh, ayo, you need to watch your back, you runnin'^✦ out of time

Watch your step, 'cause you only^✦ inches^✦ from the finish^✦ line

[Chorus]

You can live true, baby,^✦ you can live trife

Whatever^✦ way you choose, you got to live your life

Ayo, you're runnin'^✦ out of time and you 'bout to cross

The finish^✦ line (Ha), the finish^✦ line (Hoo)

You can live true, baby,^✦ you can live trife (Can live trife)

Whatever^✦ way you choose, you got to live your life

Son, you're runnin'^✦ out of time and you 'bout to cross

The finish^✦ line (Ha), the finish^✦ line

[Verse 3]

Now, there's^✦ about^✦ a million^✦ motherfuckers^✦ on your trail

Quick to bust your shit for every^✦ single time your words failed!^✦ (Single time your words failed)^✦

I'm watchin' all the moves^✦ you makin',^✦ fuck the speculatin' (Ha)

Super^✦ bitch nigga,^✦ you just be fakin'^✦ if I'm not mistaken (Huh!)

Every^✦ move you fake you dig your grave a little deeper^✦ (Ha)

Come around^✦ me with that shit, I'ma^✦ flip it to my brother's keeper^✦ (Ha)

Listen^✦ to this: overstress my emphasis (Ha)

I insist^✦ to fix and (Huh) bring the noise as long as I exist^✦ (Hah)

Now you walk around^✦ the streets with all that shit you speak

And step inside^✦ the club just to receive the illest ass beatin'!^✦ (Hoh!)

Take a look around,^✦ you get no type of sympathy

Impatiently! I sit and watch you die in your own iniquity! (Hah)

Now you out dead and stinkin',^✦ and your eyes are no longer^✦ blinkin'^✦

Time caught up quick, with your little bitch way of thinkin'!^✦ (Haaa, oooh)

Watch you diminish, while your niggas^✦ have to put a finish^✦

On your misleadin'^✦ false image^✦ (Word up, aahhhh!)

[Chorus]

You can live true, baby,^✦ you can live trife (Word up, hah)

Whatever^✦ way you choose, you got to live your life

Ayo, you're runnin'^✦ out of time and you 'bout to cross

The finish^✦ line (Word up), the finish^✦ line (Haa)

You can live true, baby,^✦ you can live trife (Live trife)

Whatever^✦ way you choose, you got to live your life

Ayo, you're runnin'^✦ out of time and you 'bout to cross

The finish^✦ line, the finish^✦ line

You can live true, baby,^✦ you can live trife (Word up, word up)

Whatever^✦ way you choose, you got to live your life (Uh-huh)^✦

Ayo, you're runnin'^✦ out of time and you 'bout to cross

It will catch up to you player, word is bond

So that's

Specifically to all those fake motherfuckers^✦

Livin'^✦ out here on that bullshit

Trying to act like they know what the fuck is going on
