While We Here Lyrics - From The Bottom 2 The Top - Eightball & Mjg

Chorus x 2 

While we here lets celebrate 

dont do tomorrow what you could do today 

tell somebody you love'em nigga 

tell somebody you love'em nigga (yea, yea) 

It was a long hard struggle 

my life been a battlefield, but i keep fightin 

givin all that i got ta give, real is the only way that i try to live 

get mines like the next man gets his 

a closed mouth never got fed 

thats why im spittin now daddy, do it for the bread 

i do it for the love, i do it for the ?? 

matter fact i really do it for all the above 

im mild mannered but im hype on my records 

i try to separate real life from the records 

most of the stuff that i rap about be facts 

but dont mean that i still live like that 

a lot of paths, i no longer have to walk up out em 

im blessed to be a rapper, i get paid to talk about em 

i aint got to keep a strap in my lap now 

thank god i can make it with this rap now 

Chorus x 2 

Summertime 1985, granmomma, grandaddy they were still alive 

me and my cousins playin the the yard 

before a young nigga knew that life got hard 

years went by, now we in the streets 

they was in the trap and i was rappin over beats 

jermaine, but everybody called him maine 

on my birthday he got murdered and slain 

???? now he the subject of my sad song 

i miss him, we cant never bring him back 

i wish he woulda asked me for them couple stacks damn 

his momma look so hurt 

when she had to put her son body in tha dirt 

and i cried, i hope you listen to the words i speak 

if one person get the picture thats good for me 

Chorus x 2 

im not tryin to steal ya money 

im not tryin to take ya woman 

im just tryin to feed my family and take care of my momma 

im a slave ever since they broke these chains i been runnin 

everything came to me was a long time comin 

im an OG man, i just look this way 

ill do somethin to ya, i just look this way 

i aint got enough face for my tear drop trails 

too many homies locked up to help em make bail 

so i try to send em pictures, holla on tha phone 

try to keep em motivated til they make it home 

sometimes i feel like im locked up and im free 

sometimes i feel like its overwhelming being me 

but i snap back and realize im built for this life 

everything you take from me imma get back twice 

no problems and no failures, imma pro 

cuz the solutions for succeeding is all that i know
