Testo: Lisa Left Eye Lopes. Supernova. Let Me Live.

Let me live, let me live
Let me live, let me live

Y'all niggas really know me from the stories I tell
(Tell)
From the lifestyle I lead and the records I sell
(Sell)

Caught up in situations detrimental to me
And I been through every one for the world to see
That time is always movin', situations do change
And few don't always work out just the way that we plan

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 neglect to spread my wings and fly

Like you I been through struggles so much stress on my brain
Actin' out my life on stages and still had to maintain
Question my every decision, my intentions were good
Twist the story all around and make me misunderstood
Imagine that, no privacy but that's the price of this fame
Under attack, my destiny to be a soldier through rain

I flow, I flow like water, like water
And my desire like fire, like fire
I'm kickin' up dirt from the earth, the earth
Imaginin' I'm the wind, redeliverin' from deeper within

I flow, I flow like water, like water
And my desire like fire, like fire
I'm kickin' up dirt from the earth, the earth
Imaginin' I'm the wind, redeliverin' from deeper within

Let me live, live, let me live
In, in inside, inside intelligence
Say it, say it, say it what you gotta say
Always ask and you will be amazed

Let me live, live, let me live
In, in inside, inside intelligence
Say it, say it, say it what you gotta say
Always ask and you will be amazed

Just to make it in this world and go against all odds
Come from the gritty in the city to a superstar
Number one hit consistently for ten long years
Put my soul in every project my blood, sweat and my tears

Y'all know my status, Left Eye, the baddest
Underestimate, don't hate it, I keep it lavish
But it don't mean nothin' if I can't find peace of mind
Packin' all distractions away, leave 'em behind

Say goodbye, part-time small crimes and felonies
A new beginnin', I'm winnin', envision' the breeze
I'm dressed in all white linen and fallin' to my knees
Thankful for all that's been given, I'm livin' with ease

Tropical trees, ninety degrees please
Do like the birds and the bees and start a family
So reminisce on every line that I wrote
Know that I never will surrender and it's truth that I spoke

I flow, I flow like water, like water
And my desire like fire, like fire
I'm kickin' up dirt from the earth, the earth
Imaginin' I'm the wind, redeliverin' from deeper within

Let me live, live, let me live
In in inside, inside intelligence
Say it, say it, say it what you gotta say
Always ask and you will be 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 sing, sing, let me sing
Let me smile, smile, let me smile
Let me ask, ask, let me ask

Let me live, let me live
Let me live, let me live
