Life
[Chorus]
Take a look in my life and see what I see
Take a look in my life and see what I see
Take a look in my life and see what I see
Take a look in my life and see what I see
[Verse 1: Yo Gotti]
M-E-M-P-H-I-S, 3-8-1-2-7
Shady vista, segshaw lane
My ghetto game, where it all started for Gotti
Little summin', running 'round here, we're naughty
Asking for dollars from niggas I assumed was ballin'
Twelve years old, and talking 'bout 'em flippin' tomorrow
Counting my cheese, think I had 'bout thirty-seven bones
I made up my mind, tomorrow Gotti's starting to cone
Bought me a deal, posted up on top of the hill
Throughout these years, I've seen a lot of niggas get killed
My life is the truth, I'd rather rap outside a booth
Y'all ain't talking 'bout shit, I'm one hundred proof
That's what my life like
[Chorus]
Take a look in my life and see what I see
Take a look in my life and see what I see
Take a look in my life and see what I see
Take a look in my life and see what I see
[Verse 2: Yo Gotti]
I'm from the projects, jaded in, fence surround
I'm a normal teen black, but these chinks around
'Cause they on the corner stores, like how can they afford
Something we can't? They never seen these dollars before
I wrote this here for the government, me and my people sufferin'
Break bread with the immigrants, not word for recipients
Tell me what my benefit, long jazz, fifty cents
Eighty-five percent with no parole in parenthesis
The North Memphis president, here to set the record straight
Rob, steal, kill, put some food on yo' people plates
Going lethal, thrill me, before these people kill me
Gotti's just a spokesman for the North and they gon' feel me
My block consists of lost hope
Gangbangers and street thugs plus coke
There's one way in and one way out, take summin'
A cop working, wait for drought, like Yo Gotti
[Chorus]
Take a look in my life and see what I see
Take a look in my life and see what I see
Take a look in my life and see what I see
Take a look in my life and see what I see
[Verse 3: Yo Gotti]
Back in the day, used to cut the five off twenties
Back in the day, I used to cut the two off of tens
Back in the days, I thought everybody was friends
Back in the day, the hood had me trapped within
Back in the day, used to play "pick up and run"
The shit was fun, but nowadays we pickin' up guns
Back in the day, me and my niggas fought with each other
Shared with each other, but nowadays we bust at each other
Trust in each other just like we done sealed-up leather
Never, we all clever, but on different levels
Back in the day, used to play "that's my car"
Back in the days, I never thought I'd make it this far
Back in the day, used to play "catch a girl, get a girl"
Nowadays, niggas let a girl ruin they whole world
Last days, it was existing in the dirty south
Ridiculous in the dirty south, come get me out this dirty south
My life like
[Chorus]
Take a look in my life and see what I see
Take a look in my life and see what I see
Take a look in my life and see what I see
Take a look in my life and see what I see
Take a look in my life and see what I see
Take a look in my life and see what I see
