How We Livin’ Lyrics

[Intro: Kano]
I got this long intro and I got nothing to say
I just wanna ask one question
Hear me out

[Bridge: Kano]
How we living?
My East side niggas - how we living?
How we living?
My bullet proof West - how we living?
How we living?
My niggas up North - how we living?
How we living?
My niggas down South - how we living?
How we living?
How we living?
My niggas how we living?


Sinning, cos that's the only way we think we're winning
Killing cos that's the only language people listen to
Slinging, 'cause that's all you can manage wen you've been into
Prison,
forbidden to listen
Good riddance to bad rubbish
We don't know how to forgive we hold grudges
And we don't know how to receive we throw punches
And we don't know how to believe
[Hook]

[Bridge]

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
