Live Good

Ryan Leslie
If I say that the fame is all it takes, man,
The grass might look green, now watch the snakes, man.
Put a couple o's in my bank statement,
Hire a lawyer to look after my estate plan.
Yeah, so I can plan my vacantion,
Somewhere I can get tan and have relation,
With my Tunisian girl, yeah, she's super hot,
Super luxury breakfast is on this super-yacht.
And tell her, on the French Riviera,
Rolling down the street, I'm in that rear Carrera
Pose for the haters when I pull up at the cross road,
The whole club was out to hear the boss talk.
And we gonna shut down the city tonight,
My homie she about to spend about fifty tonight
So if you and your girlfriends getting pretty tonight,
We will show you what good living is like.
Imma live hard, imma dream big,
"˜cause in the end, homie, I'm just trying to live good.
I'm just trying to live good. Can I live,
Tryin' to live like I should.
Do it bigger than everybody else ever did,
"˜cause in the end, homie, I'm just trying to live good,
I'm just trying to live, I'm just trying to live good.
I'm black and successful, I guess I beat the odds,
The rare chance, I'm on it, could actually beat the gods,
I took that chance believing I could win this,
Take my seat on the throne and pick "˜em out of limpess
Slipping the day turns cold in Hades,
Ask it low and I'm clearing, I guess the old Mercedes
It's catching the eye of every bi-stander
Long on the fly, call it high standard.
At the boarder no one messes with trouble,
And customs offers and found, thirty stacks in my duffle.
I set them parts of the night, uniforms and a chick,
She let me off with a warning, but she wanted the flick.
The bi-product of celebrity, she don't even know who I am, but she'll remember me.
So I reinvest in fan for longevity, caught up in the fame is where I'll never be.
Imma live hard, imma dream big,
"˜cause in the end, homie, I'm just trying to live good.
I'm just trying to live good. Can I live,
Tryin' to live like I should.
Do it bigger than everybody else ever did,
"˜cause in the end, homie, I'm just trying to live good,
I'm just trying to live, I'm just trying to live good.
I ran through the parks at nights holding cocaine,
No id, I'm lonely in this cold game,
Once I get back on my feet I got a family
For I wait somewhere by in this deep.
Coconut warrior spliffs, fly honey bunnies,
Rain regeets, six honey horse sunny.
Missing in the big empire in a world where they kidnap your girl,
Bitch snap your pops.
I'm all about moral canvas, fix it coming,
But I'm stuck on a bench in a bar, ma',
The ski had a pretty lease somewhere these trees
And beat that, quick fast, the blast will cease.
Never been nothing but a street gang,
Now let the beat bang, get me a mic check, let me swag,
Sooner or later we're large and I have glimpse of myself
Biggest shit up, you know who started.
Imma live hard, imma dream big,
"˜cause in the end, homie, I'm just trying to live good.
I'm just trying to live good. Can I live,
Tryin' to live like I should.
Do it bigger than everybody else ever did,
"˜cause in the end, homie, I'm just trying to live good,
I'm just trying to live, I'm just trying to live good.
