[Verse 1:]
The future started yesterday, nigga,
Every minute feelin' different, I am not the same nigga.
I admit that I was timid at a younger age, nigga,
Daddy asked me what I wanna be, I said, «A paid nigga.»
With them extras out the pot, I gave myself a raise, nigga,
Heaven sent I can't remember the last time I prayed, nigga,
So the Devil introduced me to cookin' cocaine, nigga,
On the blade, seven days, ain't bathe or shave, nigga.
I was thuggin' with my trey eight,
Mothafuck a president, I got a Presidential Day-Date!
I run a check up like a Chase bank,
The police open up the package if your shipment come a day late.
I just beat a rape case, groupie bitch I never fucked,
Tryna give me ten for some pussy that I never touched,
At a certain level, system tried to test a nigga's nuts,
Nigga hire like eleven lawyers, had to level up.
[Chorus:]
Livin' this life, just me, myself and I,
Level up, you know a nigga had to level up,
If I gotta be by myself, I'ma be alright,
Level up, you know a nigga had to level up.
Livin' this life, just me, myself and I,
Level up, you know a nigga had to level up,
And if I gotta be by myself, I'ma be alright,
Level up, you know a nigga had to level up.
[Verse 2:]
The future started yesterday ,nigga,
Every minute feelin' different, I am not the same nigga.
Had a baby, now my daughter getting up in age, nigga,
When I die I bet she say, «My daddy was a paid nigga.»
'Round the world jail system like a slave trade, nigga,
Got me in this foreign prison, monkey in a cage, nigga,
Bail paid, locked me up for an extra 30 days, nigga,
Barely let us use the shower ain't bathed or shaved nigga.
I was sittin' in a cell missin' show dates,
Commissary late, I'm postin' pictures with the toothpaste,
Barely eat the food, stress'll make a nigga lose weight,
Enter the mental of a nigga that wish he knew his fate.
Shit, these bitches do to try to get your cash,
Erica visit, can't wipe her tears from behind the glass,
Choppin' the porcelain up for years, said, I'm suckin' glass,
I beat the DEA and the task, now I'm on my ass.
[Verse 3:]
Future started yesterday ,nigga,
Every minute feelin' different, I am not the same nigga.
Donald Trump gon' chain us up and turn back to slaves, nigga,
Got the recipe for dope, my reparations paid, nigga,
Feel like that at some point, really I should feel ashamed, nigga.
They kill us, we killin' us, but that is not the way, nigga,
Money tree up in the stripper club, I'm throwin' shade, nigga,
Did destruction on your flow when I paved the lane, nigga,
Chest to chopper, blow your chest out where your heart at, nigga.
Black Tony, Babyface, better scar that nigga,
Sent the hit out, I'm just waitin' on the call back, nigga,
Shoot them pussies, burn it up, don't bring the car back, nigga.
Gangsta G, I fucked the industry, them crackers say I'm too aggressive,
I turned myself into a boss without a fuckin' question,
Six whips, ghetto nigga gotta be excessive,
I came up on fried bologna, boy what you expected?
What you expected?
[Chorus:]
Livin' this life, just me, myself and I,
Level up, you know a nigga had to level up,
If I gotta be by myself, I'ma be alright,
Level up, you know a nigga had to level up.
Livin' this life, just me, myself and I,
Level up, you know a nigga had to level up,
And if I gotta be by myself, I'ma be alright,
Level up, you know a nigga had to level up.
[Outro:]
Ooh, I will be alright,
Ooh, I will live my life.
Ooh, I will be alright,
Ooh, I will live my life.
