9 Lives (feat. Polo G & NLE Choppa)

(Makers)

(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, why I'm hurtin' still?

I seen my mama stressed 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 leaning all on me, but I don't sip no Act

I'm out here taking care of nine lives like I'm a fuckin' cat

But for my family, that's alright, 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 dеsigner jeans

Is it weird that I miss thе struggle?

'Cause when you get the win, it's like the feelin' double

And there's more appreciating 'til the feeling crumble

But I've been winnin' way too much, so now the feeling subtle

So every time I lose once, I gotta win a couple

I stay a step ahead

I be busy, don't judge me if you get left on read

They say the bike ride to the top is not acceptin' pigs

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, why I'm hurtin' still?

I seen my mama stressed 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 leaning all on me, but I don't sip no Act

I'm out here taking care of nine lives like I'm a fuckin' cat

2019, I was on Perky pills (I was on Perky pills)

All that pain I was feeling, I ain't wanna feel (I ain't wanna feel)

Taking care of everybody, how I was supposed to heal? (Like how I was supposed to heal?)

I was more way peaceful 'fore I even signed a deal ('fore I signed a deal)

Lost some niggas in the field, hope they get appeals (hope they get appeals)

Lost G, know it hurt my soul, shit ain't feel real

Life was comin' at me fast, Jesus take the wheel (Jesus take the wheel)

No power steerin' in my life, the wrong road kills

Can you pray for me? I need a shoulder to lean on (need a shoulder to lean on)

Music therapy, I get in the booth, I just sing on (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 (ayy, oh, woah)

These niggas thinkin' I ain't street but they don't know for real (ayy, oh, woah)

I'm only who I am today because my bro, for real

And they say time heal your grief, well, why I'm hurtin' still?

I seen my mama stressed 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 leaning all on me, but I don't sip no Act

I'm out here taking care of nine lives like I'm a fuckin' cat

It's just like lately I've been turnin' up

Was in the trenches, daily faded, steady burnin' up

I never thought that we'd make it and that hurt was stuck

But still grindin' every day 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 steppin', that's an easy kill

Foenem spinnin' blocks, they love them Glocks, they say we need to chill

It's like they need to drill, uh

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 Mille 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, why I'm hurtin' still?

I seen my mama stressed 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 leaning all on me, but I don't sip no Act

I'm out here taking care of nine lives like I'm a fuckin' cat
