Akay The Pharaoh - How He Live Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'm walking down the street
High-rise hypocrisy
And I'm hearing what they're saying
They're saying that we're straying
And society's fraying
From these hoodlum games we playing
Can't save 'em...
Just let it breathe

[Verse 2]
When its time to be a man, Its your time to be a man
No more crying every night, you be without it? make a plan
Bills need to get paid mama just don't understand
Why you doing what you doing
That gun, you just carry it
You gotta get it how you live
I'm guessing
Even if mama stressing
She says a prayer when you leave and asks God for a blessing
And she won't know if you live even just to receive the message
But she don't bother you out there because you could be half-stepping
She know if she put that on your mind and you won't be alert
And people preying on your weakness
And what you doing just ain't a secret
She pray every Sunday and go to church
And asks God if he will make it work
This ain't what you wanted for your kid
But this is how it is
He started hanging out with punks and started doing what they did
Even though he gotta be strapped before he leave the crib
I mean, this is how it is: he got to get it how he live
[Hook]
This is how it is
Gotta get it how he live, gotta get it how he live
This is how it is
Gotta get it how he live, gotta get it how he live
This is how it is
Gotta get it how he live, gotta get it how he live
This is how it is
Gotta get it how he live, gotta get it...

[Verse 3]
He said, "mama don't you cry
Wipe them tears from your eyes
I know i'm 'posed to be in school, that ain't keeping us with lights
I know you don't want me out there, but I'm gon' be alright
Your son gon' hold it down, I'm gon' make it home tonight
I keep this pistol for protection
People out there, they also carry the weapon
And they won't hesitate to pull and then send me to heaven
So I have to fight at first; I might not get a second
Yeah, I'm doing this for us so we can eat at night
Its just us, pops ain't around its hard to sleep at night
And they won't give a man a job if he just got a record
And we ain't goin' back to the shelter, I promise, never
I swear
This ain't what you wanted for your kid but
This is how it is
Gotta get you out the 'hood and buy you a new crib
So give me back the gun that you found because I got biz
I mean this is how it is: I gotta get it how I live
And that's why...
[Hook]
