[Verse 1:]

Ya'll never really know me from the stories I tell

From the lifestyle I lead and the records I sell

Caught up in situations detrimental to me

And I been through every war just for the world to see

(That time) is always moving situations do change

(And Things) don't always work out just the way that we planned

(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 neglected spread my wings and fly

(Like You) Ive been though struggles so much stress on my brain

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

(Question every decision) My intentions were good

Twist the story all around and leave me misunderstood

(Imagine That) No privacy but that's the price of this fame

(Under attack) my destiny to be a soldier through fame



[Chorus:]

Let me live live 

Let me live

In in side inside intelligence

Say say say say what you gotta say

Always asking you will amazed

Let me live live  

Let me live

In in side inside intelligence

Say say say say what you gotta say

Always ask and you will amazed



[Verse 2:]

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

Come from the gritty inner city to a superstar

Number one hits consistently for ten long years

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

Ya'll know my status 

Left eye the badest 

Underestimate don't hate and I keep it lavish

But it don't mean nothing If I cant find peace of mind

Packing all distractions away leave them behind

Say goodbye hard times small crimes and felonies 

A new beginning im winning envisioning the breeze

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

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

Tropical trees 90 degrees, please

Do like the birds and the bees and start a family 

So remise on every line that I wrote

Know that I never will surrender and its truth that I spoke



[Chorus:]

Let me live live 

Let me live

In in side inside intelligence

Say say say say what you gotta say

Always asking you will amazed

Let me live live  

Let me live

In in side inside intelligence

Say say say say what you gotta say

Always ask and you will amazed



I flew I flew like water like water

Am I desire like fire like fire

I'm picking up the dirt from the earth the earth

Imaging I'm the wind redelivering from people within

I flew I flew like water like water

Am I desire like fire like fire

I'm picking up the dirt from the earth the earth

Imaging I'm the wind redelivering from people within



[Chorus:]

Let me live live 

Let me live

In in side inside intelligence

Say say say say what you gotta say

Always asking you will amazed

Let me live live  

Let me live

In in side inside intelligence

Say say say say what you gotta say

Always ask and you will 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 say say, let me say

Let me smile smile, let me smile

Let me ask ask, let me ask
