Lyrics | [Produced by DJ Scratch] [Intro] This is dedicated to all those who don't see it coming [Chorus] You can live true, baby, you can live trife Whatever way you chose, you got to leave your life Ayo, you're running out of time and you 'bout to cross The finish line (Ha), the finish line (Word up) You can live true, baby, you can live trife Whatever way you chose, you got to leave your life Ayo, you're running out of time and you 'bout to cross The finish line (Ha), the finish line [Verse 1] And, yo (Yuh), I can't afford to waste a second (Haa) Steppin' with my eyes on niggas checkin' on my weapons Every millisecond (Ha), motherfuckers say they true to this But when they grab the microphone they shit sound like stupidness Hahhh! Mad to pull another vicious scandal (Ha) I know that you can't handle when I hip from other angles Now, feel my hot wax, burning from my melting candles You can't take the heat, so you switch from boots to wearing sandals This is for example! (Hoooo) Shit will make a nigga curse When worse comes to worst, you be the first to disperse now! You don't believe your man was living like that Hopin' you find that nigga, see exactly where his heart was at It's a damn shame (Ha) how son know your style, know your name Watch how he pull your file, make you wish you never fuckin' came now! Even the hardest motherfucker has his final day So kill that shit you talkin' and be about your fuckin' way! [Chorus] You can live true, baby, you can live trife Whatever way you chose, you got to leave your life Ayo, you're running out of time and you 'bout to cross The finish line (Ha), the finish line (Ha) You can live true, baby, you can live trife Whatever way you chose, you got to leave your life Son, you're running out of time and you 'bout to cross The finish line (Ha), the finish line You might also like[Verse 2] Yo, everyday I see you on the block smoking With a bunch of niggas scopin' on how they can split you wide open! You don't even know what's going on up in your circle Awful murder niggas itch to leave you black, blue and purple (Ha) Your man came to put you on and tried to make you breathe Hit you with some shit that left you flippin' mad in disbelief (Ha) You just can't believe that niggas that you smoke with is on it And the way they rass they really got to bust yo' shit! (Woooh!) Thought your man was joking (Ha), paid no attention to the situation Got with your crew and just continued smoking (Bohh) Now your man sit and watch you panic! In any other situation you'd be fronting like you gigantic! I guess all that fronting is your main talent It's apparent (Ha), he can see right through you like you transparent (Ha) Hah, ayo, you need to watch your back, you runnin' out of time Watch your step, 'cause you only inches from the finish line [Chorus] You can live true, baby, you can live trife Whatever way you chose, you got to leave your life Ayo, you're running out of time and you 'bout to cross The finish line (Ha), the finish line (Hoooo) You can live true, baby, you can live trife Whatever way you chose, you got to leave your life Ayo, you're running out of time and you 'bout to cross The finish line (Ha), the finish line [Verse 3] Now, there's about a million motherfuckers on your trail Quick to bust your shit for every single time your words failed!
