Life Vs Livin'

Big Sean · Other Songs - Big Sean

Yeah

Look, Vizzy is a dreamer

And life is a bitch but god forbid if i leave her

Hated in my city since the day that I remeember

But i ain't ever tired of these kids like Angelina

And Brad,

I was a kid like Michael Jackson when I started to be bad

But cleaned it up in 2000 like lever

Either, you can hop around

Or you can turn this up loud and take a glimpse of how I put it

Dow ow ow ow ow ownnn

Finally found my sound, Helen Keller

And I'm taking that food out up yo mouth like Old Yeller

Satisfaction's overrated, I don't agree with failure

So I just kept making heat up in the basement like a cellar

Well uh, pipe down like draino

Just roll into a ball like kano

Cause they know,

I'll die on these tracks chasing perfection like a rainbow

Walking out the bank, smiling face

LMA O O O OOOO



(Chorus)

I tell you what it is

And everything it isn't

You got a cool ride

I'm saving it for business

You got a lovely wife

I got a bunch of women



Cause that's just part of live

And this is part of livin' x5



That's just part of li i i i ive



Big Sean



Big finna drop but it's not 9 7

I think they had enough, hot 9 7

Last real n***a, I am legend

You need inspiration, shit drop in my sessions

Oh that's ya favorite car? I buy it out (cash)

Oh that's ya favorite bitch? I try it out

SWimmin' in ya girl, then she handed me a towel

I said I.O.U like I'm tryna find a vow

And I'm a rock more ?

Champagne by the cases, I don't grab the bottle

Drinks that I can't swallow

Then I throw ups and I feel hollow

My whole crew is takin' off

Man it could've been appolo

13, we ride around in escorts and jettas



I rather have a pilot, escort the jet uh

While you was in ya pj's waiting on shit to take off

I was in the pj, waiting on take off



(Chorus)

I tell you what it is

And everything it isn't

You got a cool ride

I'm saving it for business

You got a lovely wife

I got a bunch of women



Cause that's just part of live

And this is part of livin' x5



That's just part of li i i i ive

And this is part of livin'

Bank account healthy, party with my children

Yo bank account is swayze, no wonder you illin'

I'm getting pages to take a walk around a buildin'

Brilliant, fillin' it the game like space that imma fill in it

My dream is to get a team that I could do some millions wit

Everyday the myspace plays, get a million hits

And I walk in the space and show my face

They take a billion pi i i i i ics



For my dream I'm already for it

Tryna see everything like a city tourist

I'm eating all these rappers food,

Show me where's the porridge

Somebody sleepin' in my bed and I swear she's foreign (ha)

So I advise you not to knock,

I give her the business like she just bought out all my stock

I became all the things I was taught not to mock

And when you got your eyes on the green, you told not to

St o o o o op



(Chorus)

I tell you what it is

And everything it isn't

You got a cool ride

I'm saving it for business

You got a lovely wife

I got a bunch of women



Cause that's just part of live

And this is part of livin' x5



That's just part of li i i i ive
