https://youtube/watch?v=OjrDCTxhWfU To live is Christ, To die is Gain I asked myself am I a slave Working for the finer things in life Cuz I dont ever wanna lose control Gain this world Lose my soul So free my mind Let me go goodbye [Verse 1: Swoope] So they tell us to give a toast to the good life Or at least the one advertised Let that champagne spill raise them glasses high Make truth out of wishes Pursue what your bliss is Or cruise with the misses Boat shoe ocean blue with a view of the fishes You could get used to this feeling We living life in your youth full of riches While real treasure pass you by But thats okay you never had this life So be okay with being gratified But never satisfied Stay distracted by the greed of your appetite And never sleep cuz you dream of the lavished life Heart stay empty pockets stay stuffed Cuz when you love money you don ever got enough The dream that you living for will make you a slave Because the things youre living for cant go to your grave Two fingers in the air for heavy D, Steve Jobs, and Gill Scott rest in peace These guys had the Gs for every pleasantry But couldnt take it when they headed to the heavenlies What you amass wont help on the day of wrath Cuz what you earn cant go in your urn Hedonism is bound up in freedoms prison Cats dream of riches like Jesus isnt So they get em a wife a house kids and a dog, a wife a house kids and a dog Guess what they never really live at all naw man they never really live at all [Hook] Yo, Am I a slave? thats a good question, it puts things into perspective With a good lesson could I ever afford a necklace in my profession That costs just as much as a Lexus could i be flexin What do i consider precious Lets just, say i couldnt really find the bestest Ways to explain the gifts God gives What do i call a blessing Knowing wherever my heart is you find my treasure So i guess something so intangible how do i measure Gotta stop moving my mandible and get my thoughts together yeah Gotta let the father put my heart together Or get shot up by a shooter who was shot with the Beretta Hallelujah! And itd be hard for me to get up To my very last words is I aint be partin with this cheddar But the truth will be i partin with all of it forever Tell the world ill never fall for it but yall getting better Its a set up Yeah! [Hook: Swoope & Christon Gray] A wife a house kids and a dog Guess what they never really lived at all Naw man they aint never really lived at all To live is Christ, To die is Gain, I asked myself am I a slave Working for the finer things in life Cuz I dont ever wanna lose control Gain this world Lose my soul So free my mind Let me go goodbye [Outro: Swoope] Two fingers in the air for Heavy D Two fingers in the air for Heavy D Cant forget my homie, Sully G Two fingers in the air for Heavy D (Murder Me Interlude) [Verse: Swoope] I fantasize and try to dream of Security to try satisfy me but They dont measure up to please Cuz real treaure comes in Jesus So I abort the created and adore The Creator I avoid what I savor cuz rewards coming later My award is The Savior He is the prize My heart is toward what is wayward So whats in me must die
