Live for Me - Maino, F.N.L, That Girl Georgie

Uh, yeah

Live for me

Live for me

For my kids lil nigga

Woo, Yeah

I need you to live for me, woo

Yeah, you don’t understand right now

I lost my Pops same age that you are right now

I learned a lesson, keep going when the odds are down

And when it’s dark, you can see the stars shine down

I wanna protect you, you don’t know the pain I felt

I was trapped, spent years in a cage, no help

Tryna keep you out the devil’s hands

Don’t want you livin' like me, you be a better man

And the plan is for me to help you get ahead

Strong minded black male, that’s how you advance

And I know in your mind, I be hard at times

You gotta know, in the streets ain’t where your hearts defined

It’s the spirit you possess that’ll help you grow

I’m sorry that me and your mom’s can’t be that close

Just to see you live, I’d give up my soul

Gotta stay strong in the event that I go

Need you to live for me

Was fine till I think about it, but now it’s intact

Sorry I had to live like that

Was there I had to give right back

I’m gonna make a way, someday

And I got yo back

How to make it?

I’ll teach you that

You need me and I need you back

Just keep me in your heart always

Took time to realize

Wasn’t ready, busy womanizing

Another child wasn’t part of my plan, see

And I hate myself for wishing she’d swallowed that plan B, yuh

I’ve done it, it looks just like me

I pray she doesn’t fall for a man that’s like me, no

Tryna turn into a better father

But my demons is pullin' it’s gettin' harder

So I wrote this letter for you in case I wasn’t with you

Times that you were cryin', wasn’t there to hold the tissue

Just know I love you, don’t be scared to dream

Remember that a man only respects a queen

And I’m sorry me and mom’s can’t be that close

But it’s still my job to keep you off the post

Just to see you live, I’d give up my soul

Stay strong in the event that I go

I need you to live for me

Was fine till I think about it, but now it’s intact

Sorry I had to live like that

Was there I had to give right back

I’m gonna make a way, someday

And I got yo back

How to make it?

I’ll teach you that

You need me and I need you back

Just keep me in your heart always

Sins of thy father

Pray my kids don’t fall victim to my Karma

Up nights just tryna feed her my gold heart, uh

Black flowers what’d they minds, they grow sharper (preach)

They will never live like I used to

Or feel the pain and the hunger I was used to

Cold nights hot days that was usual

Just to see a dead body that’s not unusual

Yeah, keep my son away from street corners

Keep my daughter safe, don’t let them creeps sweet talk her

I got many flaws, living with regrets

A ghetto king tryna raise my prince and princess

Was fine till I think about it, but now it’s intact

Sorry I had to live like that

Was there I had to give right back

I’m gonna make a way, someday

And I got yo back

How to make it?

I’ll teach you that

You need me and I need you back

Just keep me in your heart always
