Verse:
One life to live one time to shine
I'ma grind til this world is mine
Me, myself, and I against the design of time
With a mind full of lines that I turned to rhymes
Lyrical or poetic which best defines
A mastermind way before he's even reached his prime
Hit the scene on July 20, 79'
Come to find mama's broke I'm already behind, Cleva
The cheddar go-getter, never slow stepper
Type n---a move better whenever I'm under pressure (yes sir)
Got more n---as avoiding me than their bill collectors
Cause simple shit that I spit is killing their best efforts
To be the top MC with a hit record
My shit's better cause I bullshit never I spit whether
You like it or not I write it than drop
Consider it props when you get to riding my jock
But it's more than fame seeking that's keep these tracks beating
Cleva without music is life without breathing
Any lyric I quote is a lyric I wrote
Drop the shit like ass crack of fat black folk I'm no joke
I'ma blow up and leave smoke
For every hater who got his mouth open to choke
And kill hopes of you fading a n---a this dope
Many say shit but can't take shit when it's spoke
See there's.......
Chorus:
One life to live one time to shine
I'ma grind til this world is mine
Me, myself, and I against the design of time
Any moment is your chance to die read the signs
One life to live one time to shine
I'ma grind til this world is mine
Me, myself, and I against the design of time
Any moment is my chance to go for mine
Verse:
I'm tryin' to come up like vomit and drop the bomb
To the rhythm of bass and drums whenever mic's in palm
And spotlights are on best believe I'ma steal it
Ain't no sing along song what I spit you goin' feel it
I don't rap for hoes but I suppose I attract with flows
Cause many willing to subtract their clothes
When my rap unloads their reactions show
Like they're willing to do anything imaginable
I remember never getting called back
From bitches I used to wish that I could see fall flat on backs
Frontin' like the cat is all that
They wouldn't even unlatch the bra strap
Now they're quickly giving digits and a road map
Willing to work their neck, back and pussy crack
No time for that, tryin' to stack, my mind is packed
Like fat sacks with ways to get my shit on the map
Now if this here bumps to y'all then react
But if it don't too bad bitch learn to adapt
Shut your trap and shake ass until it clap
Work it til you sweat your fly perm to naps
Give it up for these hypnotic melodic-style tracks
Vibrating from the west side of the map through rap
If I take it over ain't no givin' it back
Fuck with mine and you'll see more combat than Iraq
There's.....
Chorus:
One life to live one time to shine
I'ma grind til this world is mine
Me, myself, and I against the design of time
Any moment is your chance to die read the signs
One life to live one time to shine
I'ma grind til this world is mine
Me, myself, and I against the design of time
Any moment is my chance to go for mine (x3)
