Livin' Proof
Jamel Melachi Felder, Christopher E Martin, James Heath
My life story's strictly business never blew my chance
Moms kicked me out the house when I was flippin' "I'm the Man"
Put the boys on the street, make them walk this beat
Teach them how to eat and to seek for peace
Son, I stamped this name Livin' Proof 'cause I mean what I say
Bring the fake to reality and make them pay
Yo, these ghetto rhyme stories got 'em scared to death
I'm tryin' to get the fuck out, see what the world's about
Check it, 1986 is when I reached my peak
Take my brothers outta state and tried to make some ends meet
First destination Texas and it's just like that
Makin' moves with my brothers and there's no turnin' back
We got thirty-six grams on the scale right now
Gettin' ready with my brothers, time to break the shit down
I'm not about killin' my people but you know how it go
Work with me not against me and we'll make mad dough
Wear my co-defendant out when I break down with rap
Hold me back and give me love and now I'm givin' it back
A unique sound from the streets and it's just so sweet
My livin' proof life story, let me break it in piece
Yo, I rock on the block with the real hip-hop
As you start to clock (clock) and jock (jock)
Yo, I'm comin' off with mad rage
Eighteen, and hittin' the real stage
But don't worry bout me 'cause I'm makin' it
And if I can't have it, then I'm takin' it
That's how it is, 'cause I'm livin' trife
Where's my knife? Take a chance with your life
Rappers decapitate and disintegrate
You I will mutilate when I penetrate
Go for the one when I say raid
A hitman for hire and I want to get paid
'Cause bullets are sprayed and anybody is laid
More money is made and that's the family trade
See I make moves and tell what's the truth
That's why I'm here to be livin' proof
(Leave it up to me while I be livin' proof)
(Life as a shorty shouldn't be so rough)
(Leave it up to me while I be livin' proof)
(Life as a shorty shouldn't be so rough)
(Leave it up to me while I be livin' proof)
(Life as a shorty shouldn't be so rough)
(Leave it up to me while I be livin' proof)
(Life as a shorty shouldn't be so rough)
I'm lost, must pay the cost to be the boss
With force, rather get my point across
I'm goin' off on the mic insane, out of sight
When I take flight (like who, kid?) Like Mike
And you see, I be rollin' like a battlecat
And I'm ready to rip on my combat
Beef I'm not havin' that, yo, I pull my trigger back
And all you pussy niggas know where my heart is at
I like to stay down low but, yo, I flip at times
Like when I'm kickin' lines, or bustin' out nines
It's like that, shit, I jumped off the roof
Pysch 'cause I wouldn't be livin' proof
(Kick the truth to the young Black youth)
The moral of the story, what the fuck's goin' on?
And our seeds won't see 2000 if these niggas keep frontin'
I used to hustle on the block, now I rock for papes
Watch as the world turn and I will come back
Relieving stress off my brain, I got the la-la for that
Breakin' down all subjects and then all facts
Lettin lose everyday, but still, keepin' it fat
Bust it, niggas keep on frontin' in this game, aight?
Scared to death ass rappers don't get no props
Scared to come to the ghetto, talk about bustin' shots
See I can walk around the ghetto, stand in peace and at ease
Get my ghetto crowd open, yo, you know what I mean
Indeed, see what I see and then you know what I mean
Gettin, ready for the future so don't fuck with me
My livin' proof life story, niggas, I kill it with ease
(Leave it up to me while I be livin' proof)

My life story's strictly business never blew my chance
Mi historia de vida es estrictamente negocios, nunca desperdicié mi oportunidad
Moms kicked me out the house when I was flippin' "I'm the Man"
Mamá me echó de la casa cuando estaba flipando "Soy el hombre"
Put the boys on the street, make them walk this beat
Puse a los chicos en la calle, los hice caminar por este ritmo
Teach them how to eat and to seek for peace
Enseñarles cómo comer y buscar la paz
Son, I stamped this name Livin' Proof 'cause I mean what I say
Hijo, sellé este nombre Livin 'Proof porque digo lo que quiero decir
Bring the fake to reality and make them pay
Trae lo falso a la realidad y haz que paguen

Take my brothers outta state and tried to make some ends meet
Saqué a mis hermanos del estado e intenté hacer que los extremos se encontraran
First destination Texas and it's just like that

Makin' moves with my brothers and there's no turnin' back
Haciendo movimientos con mis hermanos y no hay vuelta atrás
We got thirty-six grams on the scale right now

Gettin' ready with my brothers, time to break the shit down

Work with me not against me and we'll make mad dough
Trabaja conmigo, no contra mí y haremos mucha pasta
Wear my co-defendant out when I break down with rap
Desgasto a mi coacusado cuando me descompongo con rap
Hold me back and give me love and now I'm givin' it back
Detenme y dame amor y ahora lo estoy devolviendo
A unique sound from the streets and it's just so sweet
Un sonido único de las calles y es simplemente tan dulce
My livin' proof life story, let me break it in piece

Yo, I'm comin' off with mad rage
Oye, estoy saliendo con mucha rabia
Eighteen, and hittin' the real stage
Dieciocho, y golpeando el escenario real
But don't worry bout me 'cause I'm makin' it
Pero no te preocupes por mí porque lo estoy logrando
And if I can't have it, then I'm takin' it
Y si no puedo tenerlo, entonces lo estoy tomando
That's how it is, 'cause I'm livin' trife
Así es, porque estoy viviendo trife
Where's my knife? Take a chance with your life
¿Dónde está mi cuchillo? Toma una oportunidad con tu vida
Rappers decapitate and disintegrate

You I will mutilate when I penetrate
Te mutilaré cuando penetre
Go for the one when I say raid
Ve por el uno cuando digo redada
A hitman for hire and I want to get paid
Un sicario a sueldo y quiero que me paguen
'Cause bullets are sprayed and anybody is laid
Porque las balas son rociadas y cualquiera es tendido
More money is made and that's the family trade
Se hace más dinero y ese es el comercio familiar
See I make moves and tell what's the truth
Ves que hago movimientos y digo cuál es la verdad
That's why I'm here to be livin' proof
Por eso estoy aquí para ser prueba viviente

Me estoy volviendo loco en el micrófono, fuera de vista
When I take flight (like who, kid?) Like Mike
Cuando tomo vuelo (¿como quién, chico?) Como Mike
And you see, I be rollin' like a battlecat
Y ves, yo ruedo como un gato de batalla
And I'm ready to rip on my combat
Y estoy listo para rasgar en mi combate
Beef I'm not havin' that, yo, I pull my trigger back
Carne de res, no estoy teniendo eso, oye, tiro hacia atrás mi gatillo
And all you pussy niggas know where my heart is at
Y todos ustedes, negros cobardes, saben dónde está mi corazón
I like to stay down low but, yo, I flip at times
Me gusta mantenerme bajo, pero, oye, a veces me voltea
Like when I'm kickin' lines, or bustin' out nines
Como cuando estoy pateando líneas, o sacando nueves
It's like that, shit, I jumped off the roof
Es así, mierda, salté del techo
Pysch 'cause I wouldn't be livin' proof
Psicópata porque no sería prueba viviente
(Kick the truth to the young Black youth)

La moraleja de la historia, ¿qué demonios está pasando?

Scared to death ass rappers don't get no props
Los raperos asustados hasta la muerte no reciben ningún apoyo

Miedo de venir al gueto, hablando de disparar tiros
See I can walk around the ghetto, stand in peace and at ease
Veo que puedo caminar por el gueto, estar en paz y con facilidad
Get my ghetto crowd open, yo, you know what I mean
Abre mi multitud de gueto, oye, sabes a qué me refiero
