I'll live five years if I take my time,

Ballin' that jack and a drinkin' my wine.

I been chippin' them rocks from dawn till doom,
While my rider hide my bottle in the other room.
Doctor say better stop ballin' that jack,
If I live five years I gonna bust my back, yes I will.

And I'll give everything that I got to you, yes I will.

Out in red on the streets today.
And the rivers keep a talkin',
But you never heard a word it said.
