Let Me Live Lyrics - Singles - Lisa "left Eye" Lopez

Let me live, let me live 

Let me live, let me live 

Y'all niggas really know me from the stories I tell 

(Tell) 

From the lifestyle I lead and the records I sell 

(Sell) 

Caught up in situations detrimental to me 

And I been through every one for the world to see 

That time is always movin', situations do change 

And few don't always work out just the way that we plan 

Still stand necessary, be my friend and my foe 

Either love me or you hate me, that's how the game goes 

If it's wrong to be respected never ever say die 

Remain strong, never neglect to spread my wings and fly 

Like you I been through struggles so much stress on my brain 

Actin' out my life on stages and still had to maintain 

Question my every decision, my intentions were good 

Twist the story all around and make me misunderstood 

Imagine that, no privacy but that's the price of this fame 

Under attack, my destiny to be a soldier through rain 

I flow, I flow like water, like water 

And my desire like fire, like fire 

I'm kickin' up dirt from the earth, the earth 

Imaginin' I'm the wind, redeliverin' from deeper within 

I flow, I flow like water, like water 

And my desire like fire, like fire 

I'm kickin' up dirt from the earth, the earth 

Imaginin' I'm the wind, redeliverin' from deeper within 

Let me live, live, let me live 

In, in inside, inside intelligence 

Say it, say it, say it what you gotta say 

Always ask and you will be amazed 

Let me live, live, let me live 

In, in inside, inside intelligence 

Say it, say it, say it what you gotta say 

Always ask and you will be amazed 

Just to make it in this world and go against all odds 

Come from the gritty in the city to a superstar 

Number one hit consistently for ten long years 

Put my soul in every project my blood, sweat and my tears 

Y'all know my status, Left Eye, the baddest 

Underestimate, don't hate it, I keep it lavish 

But it don't mean nothin' if I can't find peace of mind 

Packin' all distractions away, leave 'em behind 

Say goodbye, part-time small crimes and felonies 

A new beginnin', I'm winnin', envision' the breeze 

I'm dressed in all white linen and fallin' to my knees 

Thankful for all that's been given, I'm livin' with ease 

Tropical trees, ninety degrees please 

Do like the birds and the bees and start a family 

So reminisce on every line that I wrote 

Know that I never will surrender and it's truth that I spoke 

I flow, I flow like water, like water 

And my desire like fire, like fire 

I'm kickin' up dirt from the earth, the earth 

Imaginin' I'm the wind, redeliverin' from deeper within 

Let me live, live, let me live 

In in inside, inside intelligence 

Say it, say it, say it what you gotta say 

Always ask and you will be amazed 

Let me live, live, let me live 

Let me love, love, let me love 

Let me learn, learn, let me learn 

Let me laugh, laugh, let me laugh 

Let me see, see, let me see 

Let me sing, sing, let me sing 

Let me smile, smile, let me smile 

Let me ask, ask, let me ask 

Let me live, let me live 

Let me live, let me live
