[Ikay:]
But it's not y'all, it's Lifestyle!
Uh... Yo! Turn my voice up in da head phones, can you hear me?
Yeah! Uh... That's good, perfect,
Uh! Just need y'all to feel me, ya feel me right?
Come on... vibe with ya boy.
[Verse 1:]
Fame and glory,
Just kick back and listen, I'm a tell you a story,
How my life changed, why I'm like this,
Why I write this,
You can't understand,
Why I'm a man,
And you a boy,
You think money and fame can bring you joy,
Just like your first child,
Can it make you smile?
Can it make you feel?
Da same way my baby girl would make me feel,
When I see her with her arms open,
Nah! It ain't like that, she got me heart broken,
Close my eyes and I start floatin,
When I call, you never call back,
Then you tell me you love me and all that,
Emotions start takin over, tears and all that,
I can't understand you,
Damn you!
Messin with my heart like that, how can you?
Huh.
[Chorus:]
You said you love me but you lied,
If ya love so real, why are there tears in my eyes?
Huh, uh,
You said you love me and it's true,
What a man to do with friends like you?
Huh,
You said you love me but you lied,
If ya love so real, why are there tears in my eyes?
Huh, uh,
You said you love me and it's true,
What a man to do with friends like you?
Huh.
[Verse 2:]
Six years back, my boy died,
Every boy on my block, they all cried,
Six years later, not even a rose by his grave side,
Disgusting!
It's like he was livin for nothing,
Take a look in my eyes,
Look closer, take a look in my life,
I'm a soldier, I'm just livin to die,
I pray some day I'm gon live in da sky,
The last few months been da hardest,
Still I try and remain flawless,
Who helped me to get by?
Just two persons, my boys Jennings and Craig,
Still I ran from da pain like a mobster runnin from feds,
My heart cold, my wrist froze,
Every chick knows,
Kay gon keep shining as long as da wind blows,
I see death through my windows,
Come on.
[Chorus:]
You said you love me but you lied,
If ya love so real, why are there tears in my eyes?
Huh, uh,
You said you love me and it's true,
What a man to do with friends like you?
Huh,
You said you love me but you lied,
If ya love so real, why are there tears in my eyes?
Huh, uh,
You said you love me and it's true,
What a man to do with friends like you?
Huh.
[Verse 3:]
Can I apologize to a special friend?
Wanna let you know my love will never end,
Sashay! I'm sorry for da way I been,
Sorry for blaming you for everything,
That's not going right,
Promise I'm gon change my life,
You more than a friend, but less than a lover,
Some people not real, that's why I only got two brothers,
Trish always there for me, it's like I got two mothers,
So I gotta let you know,
When life gets hard and you ain't got nothing left to show,
I'll never let you go,
Let me say this,
I know some people gon hate this,
But Nas is my role model, nothing but greatness,
When I'm facing my hard times,
He always sing some smart rhymes,
That makes my heart shine,
Da greatest of all times,
Uh!
[Chorus:]
You said you love me but you lied,
If ya love so real, why are there tears in my eyes?
Huh, uh,
You said you love me and it's true,
What a man to do with friends like you?
Huh,
You said you love me but you lied,
If ya love so real, why are there tears in my eyes?
Huh, uh,
You said you love me and it's true,
What a man to do with friends like you?
Huh.
[Outro:]
Uh! Can you feel me?
Uh! I know you feel me right,
Uh! It's Lifestyle,
Just vibe with ya boy,
For real...
Cry Nation.
