letra de to live in 323 - david the goliath

[verse 1: david the goliath]
looking at the city streets thinking what they mean to me
thinking what they do for me
color me green, but it seems that i’ve seen
too many people ’round here getting k!lled for their team
that’s their american dream
trying to knock us down while we build our self esteem
eating off dinner plates that aren’t even clean
meanwhile, i’m in love with the good dollar green
i’m a natural born hustler, big city bustler
i think everybody wishes they could empty registers
i guess it didn’t register, i’m talking ’bout theft
sometimes that’s the only choice these people got left
get the motive ready, get your bulletproof vest
so you can get some clothes for your sunday best
he’s trying to be a thug but inside he’s a mess
and never fits in with the rest, god bless
poor kid coming up
never settled for his best but sick of being runner up
never fit in with the rest because he wasn’t dumb enough
n-body even liked him cuz he wasn’t fun enough
man, saddest story ever heard
but now he’s free like a bird
so disturbed as a teen, parents split at 16
and his friends about to leave
that’s just the cost to live in 323

[hook: emerie + david the goliath]
please don’t ask me why i’m sad
please don’t ask me why i’m mad
don’t you know it’s hurting me?
the city is ruthless, better get up on your feet
as the days keep going by
keep my eyes fixed on the prize
always had to compromise
but n-body wins like it’s a tie

[verse 2: david the goliath]
born in bellflower, wanna die in la
now in south gate homie, that be where i stay
went to school in lb, paramount’s my city
even guns and roses couldn’t make these girls pretty
and i’m just honest abe
my heart is like a prisoner, my ribs are like the cage
running circles ’round these rappers, please don’t ask about my age
it’s goliath’s time to shine, but thanks for setting up the stage
yeah, i hear the city’s cry like a babe with a mom
the taliban without a bomb or like ford without tom
i wish there were certain things that i could do better
but nowadays it’s hard to dream without any cheddar
the game is like a girl so i wrote a love letter
she wrote back telling me to be a trendsetter
she a centerfold, she’d k!ll on a pedestal if i let her

[verse 3: david the goliath]
still haven’t changed, i’m stuck in old ways
we looking at each other like
“homie, i seen better days
remember back when we was always crazy
doing stuff around the city?
or did you forget?
give a man a little power and then look where he get
this ain’t what i meant
how can time be money when all of it was spent?”
now i’m back to my roots, i know that’s long overdue
but it’s better late than never if you really have to choose
man, i wish i had some new shoes
i would sport the flyest pair, i would have the nicest hair
i would do it all again if the chance was really there
cuz sometimes i be feeling like this life ain’t fair
getting blessings from above but the love isn’t there
trying to find a landing but the dove isn’t there
and my family isn’t there
i guess n-body’s really there
323
