One Seventeen Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'm not taken no chance tonight
I'm gonna pack me a gat tonight

I'm gonna sell me some sacks tonight
And if it all goes well and I'm stacked tonight

We can all kick back and we can laugh tonight
Your off track tonight, and if you snooze you lose
You slept we crept, your being broke your bruised
Thats the life I choose, guns drugs and booze

[Hook]
And we can get down, right here in the street
You choose to live on your knees, I'd rather die on my feet

[Verse 2]
Yeah
Shelia is a mess-o, she comes from Modesto
And you confessed, I don't want to let go
She will do her best though, death to confession
Everythings okay, If she goes and says so

[Interlude]
She's gonna load 'em up
Tie it up, now boot it up
Shoot 'em up, shoot 'em up
Cigarette now smoke it up
I got my good up
Cigarette now smoke it up
She not my sister
I love to watch you tear it up
[Hook]
And we can get down, right here in the street
You choose to live on your knees, I'd rather die on my feet

[Hook]
And we can get down, right here in the street
You choose to live on your knees, I'd rather die on my feet

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • 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 [?]
