Die By It Lyrics
Uh uh uh uh uh
Yea yea
You can
uh uh uh
You can,
Live by the streets but you don’t have to die by it uh uh
Never put your life on it
It ain’t got a lot of people still alive for it uh uh
Never put your life on it
Couple of my brothers in the pen doing life for this uh uh
Missing out on life and shit
I know at times life can put you in situations
But you need to break away from it
You can
Live by the streets but you don’t have to die by it uh uh
Never put your life on it
It ain’t got a lot of people still alive for it uh uh
So never put your life on it
Couple of my brothers in the pen doing life for this uh uh
Missing out on life and shit
Cause life put them in situations
But they didn’t try to break away from it uh
I never liked school much
Rough kid I hung like conductors on the school bus
I really couldn’t do much
Got older and I hung with conductors cause they knew stuff
Tipolo, Wobiya them dudes was in the cool bunch
Ansar-Ud-Deen High
Damian showed me how to pull stunts
OPC burning bodies on the main road
Mikkey got shot everybody had to lay low (hmm)
Armed robbery on the high
For leaking information you got lit up with the tyres
I watched Kazeem’s brother burn
Innocent or guilty
No man should bare the brunt of an angry mob
You live and die for the things you’ve done
Streets of Surulere you can die if you’re misinformed
All they got is hope there
See no be loud na Igbo them dey kpo there
You can,
Live by the streets but you don’t have to die by it uh uh
Never put your life on it
It ain’t got a lot of people still alive for it uh uh
Never put your life on it
Couple of my brothers in the pen doing life for this uh uh
Missing out on life and shit
I know at times life can put you in situations
But you need to break away from it
You can
I started reconsidering
Working on my rap skills hiphop was my medicine
Pato’s shop was the settlement
Kinda like the meeting spot where I hung with Xtrim and Rem
The ultimate music group
Phenom’s raps were clinical
I copied how he keeps it cool
In the midst of the chaos without picking up residuals
Rap music had me skipping school
Names like Ruka and Bilikisu
Had the best boxes like you’re dipping in the swimming pool
XO became Naija review
Mozart taught me the principles
How to be more musical
Rem was making street wears
Xtrim betrayed me I haven’t seen him in some leap years
It all fell apart with no repairs
When you need a hug the streets will always be there
So it was back to what I did there
Hung with Shitta boys for a while I couldn’t think clear
And everything further tanked when Phenom left it all and got a job at the bank no
Mama said “Go live with Frank” cause
Where I dey go I for don dey pull ranks or
My brains blown out on the pillars
I’m not surprised they haven’t found AKA’s killer
You can,
Live by the streets but you don’t have to die by it uh uh
Never put your life on it
It ain’t got a lot of people still alive for it uh uh
Never put your life on it
Couple of my brothers in the pen doing life for this uh uh
Missing out on life and shit
I know at times life can put you in situations
But you need to break away from it
You can
Live by the streets but you don’t have to die by it uh uh
Never put your life on it
It ain’t got a lot of people still alive for it uh uh
So never put your life on it
Couple of my brothers in the pen doing life for this uh uh
Missing out on life and shit
Cause life put them in situations
But they didn’t try to break away from it uh
