One More Road to Cross lyrics

[Intro]

Uhh, this is life (this is life)

This is what I know (this what I know)

So to me (so to me)

This is life (this is life)

[Chorus]

One more road to cross

One more risk to take

Gotta live my life

Like there's one more move to make

[Verse 1]

I'm up at like 6AM to check this nigga

He work the nightshift and I gots to check them figures

Knock on his door, peoples talkin' 'bout, "He ain't there."

But the house is packed, shit I know he here somewhere

See, money get high, I don't knock what a nigga do to get by

Just make sure you gettin' by don't fuck with you gettin' mine

Ain't the first time he ran off, shoulda split his shit then

Hate to think of what he's did and if I catch him slippin'

Won't be an ass-whippin, I can tell you that

I keep it real with this cat, he go and sell two packs

And run off (damn) tell me he was locked down up North

And you out a week later? That's bullshit! I bust off

I need this dough—fuck you think, I'm here for my health?

I need this wealth because I feed myself

You play with my life when you play with my money

Playin' round but this'll be the last time you think somethin's funny

[Chorus]

One more road to cross

One more risk to take

Gotta live my life

Like there's one more move to make

[Verse 2]

Yo, I've been casin' the liquor store for a month now

But me and two other niggas

Is about to run up in there and shut it down

I got four people on the inside, one stay in the back

Two stock boys, one at the register but he count the stacks

Aight bitch, put on the ski mask!

Make sure that when we ask

For the dough they know that we takin' all three bags

Now see that? We got a hero, shoot that nigga!

Matter of fact, you hit the back, I'll put two in that nigga

Hard-head motherfuckas always get it

I told him what would happen if he moved

That nigga moved so I did it

"Did you get it?" I asked my man as he was comin' from the back

Nigga opened his mouth, said nothin' and fell out flat

This cat come out spittin', hittin' my mans, his mans

Couldn't control what was in his hands

I'm hit, damn! I bust back and got the fuck up outta there

Didn't get a dime, but at least I got up outta there

[Chorus]

One more road to cross

One more risk to take

Gotta live my life

Like there's one more move to make

[Verse 3]

Ayo I see it, try to avoid it, but it comes

That's how it's goin' in the slums over crumbs

Somethin' little becomes somethin' major

Niggas gettin' blown up like a pager, ear to ear with the razor

Pour out my soul, took control of hurt

Why must Earl Simmons swim in dirt?

I'm gon' make it work, 28 and tryna get baptized

Priest scared to touch me 'cause he said I gave him bad vibes

Ride when I die, straight down but I'm plottin'

We all gots to go, but who wants to be forgotten?

I'ma leave a mark and it won't be the mark of the devil

Throw dirt and may your hands burn when you touch the shovel

The level of animosity is stoppin' me from thrivin'

Fuck what them niggas is talkin' about, I'm survivin'

Alive and goin' through it, but I made my bed

So now it's in these flames that I lay my head

[Chorus]

One more road to cross

One more risk to take

Gotta live my life

Like there's one more move to make
