"1 Life" lyrics

Raekwon & Stacy Barthe Lyrics

"1 Life"

Justice League

Don't die trying to get rich
Fuck problems that you can't fix
So caught up in the matrix
One day, we gotta face it
You only got one life, one life, one life
You only got one life, one life, one life

And it don't matter if you're famous
Or what your claim to fame is
One day you're gon' be nameless
Don't matter, it's the same shit
You only got one life, one life, one life
You only got one life, one life, one life

Hey sport, here's a thought from the old-school crew
For those playing in Maybachs, we all going through it, yo
Life is wild, miss my ninjas, we bow
Lost some good ones, now they in the skies looking down
This culture made me a man, I hung with vultures
Some went canary, then damn, couldn't believe that
Seen all the Gs yappin', we lackin' integrity
Some wasn't real, I heard the feedback
Still, just stay on the float
Small circles, educated gangsters with notes
Don't let this money overlook the time we was broke
So this jury don't even got no say-so, yo
It's the heart, like knowing that your team is the plug
We should stay that way till we under the rug
And keep the kids listenin'
'Cause all this shit is wrote
Stand on business and blow, catch the verse from the GOAT

Don't die trying to get rich
Fuck problems that you can't fix
So caught up in the matrix
One day we gotta face it
You only got one life, one life, one life
You only got one life, one life, one life

And it don't matter if you're famous
Or what your claim to fame is
One day you're gon' be nameless
Don't matter, it's the same shit
You only got one life, one life, one life
You only got one life, one life, one life

I see the industry is fouler now and filled with the greed
Controlling narratives, sending wrong thoughts to the seeds
Save our babies, there's nothing else to vibe with the means
Guess who's deciding? The devil's in the back by the screens
Enough, sunk in the strength of the lust
You'd rather be against me than be with me with trust
I know what matters, you only stuck if flatters
The dumb motherfuckers around you with the sadness
So keep striving and think
Many highlights await you, those who hate you will link
Keep your thoughts rising, open your eyes, know the lies
Know that shit ain't real, hip hop, that's a disguise
Salute the pioneers of the past that paved the way
But now their legacy is fading and starting to decay
I see the culture being exploited for profit, it's shameful
Can't even help it, this some block shit

Don't die trying to get rich
Fuck problems that you can't fix
So caught up in the matrix
One day we gotta face it
You only got one life, one life, one life
You only got one life, one life, one life

And it don't matter if you're famous
Or what your claim to fame is
One day you're gon be nameless
Don't matter, it's the same shit
You only got one life, one life, one life, one life
You only got one life, one life, one life, one life
