9 Lives Lyrics – DDG (feat. Polo G & NLE Choppa)
(Hey Mcnab, hey Mcnab)
These niggas thinkin’ I ain’t street but they don’t know for real
I’m only who I am today because my bro, for real
And they say time heal your grief, well I’m hurtin’ still
I see my mama stress all day, how we gon’ pay the bills?
It’s only cold water in the sinks, I couldn’t take no bath
You ever had to boil some water just to wash your back
My family leanin’ all on me but I don’t [?] no act
I’m out here takin’ care of nine lives like I’m a ***’ cat
But for my family, that’s all right, I’m doin’ anything
It’s to the point where I feel bad for buyin’ any bling
I just got rich so I’m a sucker for the finer things
This Prada shirt and my new kicks with these designer jeans
Is it weird that I miss the struggle?
‘Cause when you get the win, it’s like the feelin’ double
And there’s more appreciatin’ ’til the feelin’ crumble
But I’ve been winnin’ way too much so now the feelin’ subtle
So everytime I lose once, I gotta win a couple
I stay a step ahead, I be busy, don’t judge me if you left on read
They say the bike ride to the top is not acceptin’ pics
So if you can’t ride with me, I hope you understand
These niggas thinkin’ I ain’t street but they don’t know for real
I’m only who I am today because my bro, for real
And they say time heal your grief, well I’m hurtin’ still
I see my mama stress all day, how we gon’ pay the bills?
It’s only cold water in the sinks, I couldn’t take no bath
You ever had to boil some water just to wash your back
My family leanin’ all on me but I don’t sip no act
I’m out here takin’ care of nine lives like I’m a ***’ cat
2019, I was on’ Perky pills
All that pain that I was feelin’, I ain’t wanna feel
Takin’ care of everybody, how am I supposed to heal
I was more way peaceful before I even signed a deal
Lost some niggas in the field, hope they get appeals
Lost [?], hurt my soul, *** done feel real
Life was comin’ at me fast, Jesus take the wheel
No power steering in my life, the wrong road kills
Can you pray for me? I need a shoulder to lean on
Music they repeat, I get in the booth, I just sing on
If you feelin’ what I’m feelin’, you welcome to sing along
Nobody there for me but they call on me like ringtones, yeah
These niggas thinkin’ I ain’t steet but they don’t know for real (Ayy-ayy, uh-uh)
I’m only who I am today because my bro, for real (Woah, woah)
And they say time heal your grief, well I’m hurtin’ still
I see my mama stress all day, how we gon’ pay the bills?
It’s only cold water in the sinks, I couldn’t take no bath
You ever had to boil some water just to wash your back
My family leanin’ all on me but I don’t [?] no act
I’m out here takin’ care of nine lives like I’m a ***’ cat
It’s just like lately I’ve been turnin’ up
Was in the trenches, deadly fadin’, steady burnin’ up
I never thought that we’d make it and that hurt was stuck
But still grindin’ everyday like I ain’t earn enough (Like I ain’t earn enough)
And I still keep the steel, really stood on ten, you better not question if I’m street for real
Lil bro gon’ let it blow, know how we step and that’s the easy ***
Foe’nem spinnin’ blocks, they love them Glocks, they say we need to chill
It’s like they need to drill
Wonder, “would I still love the money if I ain’t have fame?”
Say she love me, don’t know her first or her last name
I barely made it out this, just how far my past came
That Richard Millie on my wrist, now look how times changed
These niggas thinkin’ I ain’t street but they don’t know for real
I’m only who I am today because my bro, for real
And they say time heal your grief, well I’m hurtin’ still
I see my mama stress all day, how we gon’ pay the bills?
It’s only cold water in the sinks, I couldn’t take no bath
You ever had to boil some water just to wash your back
My family leanin’ all on me but I don’t [?] no act
I’m out here takin’ care of nine lives like I’m a ***’ cat
