Life Lessons (Live)

Yeah, this next joint's called Life Lessons
Man, I got quite a few
My homies call'em L's,
Uh, where I'm from
And for sure, they're jewels that we take
And we add those to our life, and it helps us propel forward
Check it out, Life Lessons
Uh

My banker ask, you on the other side of
Why you with this
I just smile and tell'em, mind your own business
Been a long time comin'
Had to go through it to get to it
Homie Wax told me stick to it
Even the people closest to me got lack of faith
I tell them thank you, I see my future, you can't see, it's okay
Life Lessons
I treat each one like a blessing
Like the day, I chose this lab for my sessions
Everything done before was a seed for my blessings
Rappers talk, but ain't to spit to a hit
Every track I hug, ear stung from my buzz
I speak on life issues we all go through
Remember Otto hit me up and told me do you
Don't ever change, TEF, just stay true
I made a promise, I plan to live up to
From a city most don't live through
I beat them traps

They say talk to'em, TEF
I'mma do my best
Speak my gospel till I permanently rest
Give the game, what I got
Make it bang when I knock
This my lane, I'm here to rock
Until I drop, I won't stop
No
I'm here to drop flows and speak possibles
We all got ghetto stories to relate to
It's time to celebrate and break what we hostage to
It's all written, nothing stopping me from winning

Real talk, try to play with my emotions and thoughts
Put these lyrics in my head, give me beats so I can say it
Place artists in my path to collaborate and laugh
Nah
It's greater than that
The universe got my back
Wake each morning with desires and these raps
Been a long time coming
Had some things to overcome
You can question all you want
I know my be touching some
Learned a long time ago, every question not for kids
Since I'm here, can I live
Did my work and growth for years, now this something I can give
For those who true, you hear the soul
I know you know what it is
Remember Kevin back in Cancun, told me give these raps tunes
Speak the gospel, feed them slow with spoons
It's a gift and a curse, when you true this hurts
To relive each day through a verse
It's much worse to leave it buried in the dirt, though

They say talk to'em, TEF
I'mma do my best
Speak my gospel till I permanently rest
Give the game what I got
Make it bang when I knock
This my lane I'm here to rock
And since I'm here I won't stop
No
I'm here to drop flows, and talk possibles
We all got ghetto stories to relate to
It's time to celebrate it and break what we hostage to
It's all written nothing stopping me from winning
No

They say talk to'em, TEF
I'mma do my best
Speak my gospel till I permanently rest
Give the game, what I got
Make it bang when I knock
This my lane I'm here to rock
And since I'm here I won't stop
No
I'm here to drop flows, and talk possibles
We all got ghetto stories to relate to
Time to celebrate it and break what we hostage to
It's all written nothing stopping me from winning
Ha, ha, ha, ha

Ladies and gentlemen
Igor, Harold

Oh, and I'm TEF
Ha, ha, ha, ha
