About That Life

Hey, look here, Hank, we got us another one
Hey, it's Carter Country, and I'm about that life, boy (I'm about that life, boy)

Some boys say tombstone, some say true grit
Some say that George Strait, he's still the king of this shit
Some really been there, done that
Some ain't seem to live
Some boys they fall of the bull
Scrape their knee and then they quit

Tell me, are you about that life? (That life, that life, that life)
Tell me, can you pull the trigger, kill a buck with a knife?
Drunk as hell, high as a kite
Ain't no bitch in my blood, yeah, we gon' fight
Yeah, it's a way of life, of life (of life)
Come on (come on, come on, come on)
A-B-O-U-T-L-I-F-E
Yeah, we about that life

Some girls drink whiskey, some vodka and Sprite
Some like it prissy, some like to fight
Some got big titties, some say it just right
Some of them I'll see at the back of the bus
At the end of my show tonight

Tell me, are you about that life? (That life, that life, that life)
Tell me, can you pull the trigger, kill a buck with a knife?
Drunk as hell, high as a kite
Ain't no bitch in my blood, yeah, we gon' fight

Some wish for money, some wish for fame
Some are straight trailer trash, always have and will remain
Some of y'all smoke hydro (hydro), some do cocaine (cocaine)
Some of y'all need to quit your bitchin'
Pop a top, drink your problems away

Yeah, are you about that life? (That life, that life, that life)
Tell me, can you pull the trigger, kill a buck with a knife? (Yeah)
Drunk hell, high as a kite
Ain't no bitch in my blood, yeah, we gon' fight
Yeah, it's a way of life, of life (of life)
Come on (come on, come on, come on)
A-B-O-U-T-L-I-F-E
Yeah, we about that life

You hit women and abuse kids
Talk big with loose lips, but face to face, won't do shit
I'm talking to you, if the shoe fits
Better move bitch, I got two cents
I'ma give to you, better use it
Otherwise, better move it
These southern boys don't bullshit

Muddy water, I was raised in it
Locked up, I was caged in
If you ever cross me, don't say shit
When you see me boy, I'm crazy
I pay dues, I earn stripes, I even tried that church life
But God knows I don't act right
Had to crash to burn, jackknife

Fast life, fast women, fast cars and big spending
A simple man with a big vision
Self-made, I go get it with no limits
And I'm coastin', my destiny, I'm chosen
Thoroughbred but I'm broken
My heart cold and frozen

I'm 'bout that life and they know this
I don't fuck with the fake and the bogus
Better get the fuck up out my face
Unless you wanna get split open
I'm 'bout that life for real, I don't lie, snitch or steal
I just ride until I die, so you can catch me shifting gears

Tell me, are you about that life? (That life, that life, that life)
Tell me, can you pull the trigger, kill a buck with a knife?
Drunk hell, high as a kite
Ain't no bitch in my blood, yeah, we gon' fight (yeah, we gonna fight)
Yeah, it's a way of life, of life (of life)
Come on (come on, come on, come on)
A-B-O-U-T-L-I-F-E
Yeah, we about that life

Say, is you really about the life or the fake one you livin'?
I wake up every day, I'm thankful for the breath I'm givin'
God's problem, child, sit your ass down and listen
I'm country rap's young gunna, I'm out of pimpin'
All these wack-ass rappers, they swagger jackers
Say I be eating it, flipping it, making it bubble
I'm doubling everything that you said that you couldn't
I'm the one, yeah, you tell me don't, I'm pushing the button

This go hard or nothing, it's uphill, but I'm pushing
Country rap Snoop Dogg, I'm out here, and I'm mushing
They tell me to stop it, they tell me to hush it
But I ain't never gonna stop it, I tell them all to shove it
Like a cob, shove it on a skateboard or something
You must be bored or something, you hungry, order something
Them country rap's new dad, you can put it all on my tab
Say I'm the father figure in this game that none of you had

Yeah, are you about that life? (That life, that life, that life)
Tell me, can you pull the trigger, kill a buck with a knife?
Drunk hell, high as a kite
Ain't no bitch in my blood, yeah, we gon' fight
Yeah, it's a way of life, of life (of life)
Come on (come on, come on, come on)
A-B-O-U-T-L-I-F-E
Yeah, we about that life
