Fabolous - Only Life I Know (feat. Troy Ave )

She said I wanna hold you down, but we ain’t never gonna be right
‘Cause you took out your fame in street life
But that’s the only life I know
She said the niggers dancing right, you ain’t never gonna be right
‘Cause everybody wanna be mine
Instead of focusing on their own, dog
But that’s the only life I know

They say a woman cancel dates ‘cause she has to
And a man cancel dates ‘cause he has two
Well, I got two dates, one with destiny
I need more, baby, don’t think any less of me
Try to joggle, slowly but came to struggle
Sometimes I wanna hug the block, sometimes I wanna hug you
Sometimes is about the check, sometimes is about checking that
The nero said you gotta leave in 30 seconds, flat
When the heat’s coming even if you need someone
Leave it in the rear view, don’t look back, keep running
Left for any passenger with the g running
Hazard lights blinking in the beat bumping
Air to the streets, I hear a sweet’s coming
Air to your chest so I hear a beat from it
She fell in love with a street nigger
Tattoo my name on her petite figure

She said I wanna hold you down, but we ain’t never gonna be right
‘Cause you took out your fame in street life
But that’s the only life I know
She said the niggers dancing right, you ain’t never gonna be right
‘Cause everybody wanna be mine
Instead of focusing on their own, dog
But that’s the only life I know

There’s always money to be made, that you can’t deny
I always made mine, never won who came to side
I’m only human so if I don’t eat I can’t survive
And mama said you’re not a man if you can’t provide
The summers know a shortcut, it brings me home
I worked so hard to get here, now it keeps me going
By the time I get in what she made to get the old
When I slide in bed she complain my feet be cold
Caught in street life just like my bitch said
I love the game, I love the hustle, just like mitch said
Yeah, I can leave the game, but it’s they still gonna love me?
When a new nigger come they gonna stop thinking of me
Shawty watch the hustle movie she can never get
How they make so much money, but they never quit
I tell her quit for what? That’s the only life they know
The street’s a dirty hoe, niggers try to wife it, though

She said I wanna hold you down, but we ain’t never gonna be right
‘Cause you took out your fame in street life
But that’s the only life I know
She said the niggers dancing right, you ain’t never gonna be right
‘Cause everybody wanna be mine
Instead of focusing on their own, dog
But that’s the only life I know
