Hey, look here, Hank, we got us another one

Hey, it's Carter Country, and I'm about that life, boy (I'm about that life, boy)

Some boys say tombstone, some say true grit

Some say that George Strait, he's still the king of this s**t

Some really been there, done that

Some ain't seem to live

Some boys they fall of the bull

Scrape their knee and then they quit

Tell me, are you about that life? (That life, that life, that life)

Tell me, can you pull the trigger, kill a buck with a knife?

Drunk as hell, high as a kite

Ain't no b***h in my blood, yeah, we gon' fight

Yeah, it's a way of life, of life (of life)

Come on (come on, come on, come on)

A-B-O-U-T-L-I-F-E

Yeah, we about that life

Some girls drink whiskey, some vodka and Sprite

Some like it prissy, some like to fight

Some got big titties, some say it just right

Some of them I'll see at the back of the bus

At the end of my show tonight

Tell me, are you about that life? (That life, that life, that life)

Tell me, can you pull the trigger, kill a buck with a knife?

Drunk as hell, high as a kite

Ain't no b***h in my blood, yeah, we gon' fight

Some wish for money, some wish for fame

Some are straight trailer trash, always have and will remain

Some of y'all smoke hydro (hydro), some do cocaine (cocaine)

Some of y'all need to quit your bitchin'

Pop a top, drink your problems away

Yeah, are you about that life? (That life, that life, that life)

Tell me, can you pull the trigger, kill a buck with a knife? (Yeah)

Drunk hell, high as a kite

Ain't no b***h in my blood, yeah, we gon' fight

Yeah, it's a way of life, of life (of life)

Come on (come on, come on, come on)

A-B-O-U-T-L-I-F-E

Yeah, we about that life

You hit women and abuse kids

Talk big with loose lips, but face to face, won't do s**t

I'm talking to you, if the shoe fits

Better move bitch, I got two cents

I'ma give to you, better use it

Otherwise, better move it

These southern boys don't bullshit

Muddy water, I was raised in it

Locked up, I was caged in

If you ever cross me, don't say s**t

When you see me boy, I'm crazy

I pay dues, I earn stripes, I even tried that church life

But God knows I don't act right

Had to crash to burn, jackknife

Fast life, fast women, fast cars and big spending

A simple man with a big vision

Self-made, I go get it with no limits

And I'm coastin', my destiny, I'm chosen

Thoroughbred but I'm broken

My heart cold and frozen

I'm 'bout that life and they know this

I don't f*ck with the fake and the bogus

Better get the f*ck up out my face

Unless you wanna get split open

I'm 'bout that life for real, I don't lie, snitch or steal

I just ride until I die, so you can catch me shifting gears

Tell me, are you about that life? (That life, that life, that life)

Tell me, can you pull the trigger, kill a buck with a knife?

Drunk hell, high as a kite

Ain't no b***h in my blood, yeah, we gon' fight (yeah, we gonna fight)

Yeah, it's a way of life, of life (of life)

Come on (come on, come on, come on)

A-B-O-U-T-L-I-F-E

Yeah, we about that life

Say, is you really about the life or the fake one you livin'?

I wake up every day, I'm thankful for the breath I'm givin'

God's problem, child, sit your ass down and listen

I'm country rap's young gunna, I'm out of pimpin'

All these wack-ass rappers, they swagger jackers

Say I be eating it, flipping it, making it bubble

I'm doubling everything that you said that you couldn't

I'm the one, yeah, you tell me don't, I'm pushing the button

This go hard or nothing, it's uphill, but I'm pushing

Country rap Snoop Dogg, I'm out here, and I'm mushing

They tell me to stop it, they tell me to hush it

But I ain't never gonna stop it, I tell them all to shove it

Like a cob, shove it on a skateboard or something

You must be bored or something, you hungry, order something

Them country rap's new dad, you can put it all on my tab

Say I'm the father figure in this game that none of you had

Yeah, are you about that life? (That life, that life, that life)

Tell me, can you pull the trigger, kill a buck with a knife?

Drunk hell, high as a kite

Ain't no b***h in my blood, yeah, we gon' fight

Yeah, it's a way of life, of life (of life)

Come on (come on, come on, come on)

A-B-O-U-T-L-I-F-E

Yeah, we about that life
