Live That Way

I done came a long way
I done came a long way
I'd be a fool to go back now

My mind festers on how I can deny lectures
From the court of public opinion by jive jesters
At the end of the day, the biggest fact
Is you only got one life and you won't ever get it back
That's why, I plan accordingly but still enjoy the moment though
Save my money, book a flight, go where I wanna go
While you stuck in the hood keeping it real
I'm relaxing on an island never stressing about the bills
I refuse to run the hamster wheel while drowning in debt
Looking back on past mistakes full of doubt and regret
Self sabotage is my ultimate threat
That's why my biggest joy in life is knowing God ain't through with me yet
When opportunity knocks, ain't no way I'ma stall
I'll be in a perfect position to answer the call
Happiness is subjective when there's feelings involved
If a woman can't bring me peace, I don't need her at all
The old me is not of me; Better is what I gotta be
This song sparks musical version of my lobotomy
My drive's different; frame of focus has shape shifted
A picture paints a thousand words when you're tongue twisted
To all my brothers and sisters remaining on the grind
Seeking a better future through the will of the divine
Remember where you come from as you continue to climb
Repeat this chorus and I promise you'll be just fine

I will never live that way
I will never live that way, no
I will never live that way
I will never live that way, no
I will never live that way
I will never live that way, no
I will never live that way
I will never live that way, no

I just wanna get away from these vultures, I hate hustle culture
If birds of a feather would flock how they were supposed to
Should've, would've, could've; I won't bask in the past
I'll just focus on the vast amount of future that I have
I finally over stand how to fly under the radar
Disregard opinions of haters; Whoever they are
Walk with a purpose, never nervous
I'm my predecessor's successor
Refusing to settle for something lesser
I'll learn from conferences and chat with aficionados
Show my people how to invest and not play the lotto
Enjoying what this life has to offer's my favorite motto
I'll travel around the world and show you without the bravado
In Panama City eating tacos with avocados
Rome with Italiano's sipping on affogatos
DM'ing "Ohiyo" All the way from Hokkaido
And return to disseminate all the knowledge that I know
Red pill, blue pill, all that I see
Chose in the matter, I would rather be free
Red pill, blue pill, all that I see
Chose in the matter, I would rather be
To all my brothers and sisters remaining on the grind
Seeking a better future through the will of the divine
Remember where you come from as you continue to climb
Repeat this chorus and I promise you'll be just fine

I will never live that way
I will never live that way, no
I will never live that way
I will never live that way, no
I will never live that way
I will never live that way, no
I will never live that way
I will never live that way, no

Red pill, blue pill, all that I see
Chose in the matter, I would rather be free
Red pill, blue pill, all that I see
Chose in the matter, I would rather be, let's go

I will never live that way
I will never live that way, no
I will never live that way
If The old you is gone and you're never going back, say
I will never live that way, no
I will never live that way
I will never live that way, no
I will never live that way
Ain't no way I'm going back to the old me
I will never live that way
No way, no how
