[The Game]
Punk ass mothafucka, get your ass up
What chu was goin do? kill me in my sleep you bitch ass nigga?
Tupac, Biggie! shut the fuck up! fucking dogs barking and shit
[Punk Ass Motherfucker]
Don’t shoot!
Don’t shoot!
*gun shot*
[The Game]
Fuck You Nigga!
And I’m grindin’ til I’m tired
They say "You ain’t grindin’ til you tired"
So I’m grindin’ with my eyes wide
Looking to find
A way
Through the day
A life
For the night
Dear Lord, you’ve done took so many of my people but I’m just wonderin’ why
You haven’t taken (my life? x3)
Like what the hell am I (doing right? x3)
(My Life x3)
Take me away from the hood like a state penitentiary
Take me away from the hood in the casket or a Bentley
Take me away
Like I overdosed on cocaine
Or take me away like a bullet from Kurt Cobaine
Suicide (Suicide..suicide..)
I'm from a Windy City, like "Do or Die"
From a block close to where Biggie was crucified
That was Brooklyn's Jesus
Shot for no fuckin' reason
And you wonder why Kanye wears Jesus pieces? (My Life x3)
'Cause that's Jesus people
And The Game, he's the equal
Hated on so much, "The Passion of Christ" need a sequel
Yeah, like Roc-a-fella needed Sigel
Like I needed my father, but he needed a needle (My Life x3)
I need some meditation, so I can leave my people
They askin' “Why?" Why did John Lennon leave The Beatles?
And why every hood nigga feed off evil?
Answer my question before this bullet leave this Desert Eagle
And I’m grindin’ til I’m tired
They say "You ain’t grindin’ til you tired"
So I’m grindin’ with my eyes wide
Looking to find
A way
Through the day
A life
For the night
Dear Lord, you’ve done took so many of my people but I’m just wonderin’ why
You haven’t taken (my life? x3)
Like what the hell am I (doing right? x3)
(My Life x3)
We are not the same, I am a Martian
So approach my Phantom doors with caution (caution...caution)
You see them 24's spinnin'? I earned them
And all the pictures of me and Em, I burned them
So there ain't no proof that I ever walked through 8 Mile
And since there ain't no Proof, I never walked through 8 Mile
Sometimes I think about my life with my face down
Then I see my sons and put on that Kanye smile (My Life x3)
Damn, I know his momma's proud
And since you helped me sell my dream, we can share my momma now
And like MJB, "No More Drama" now
Livin’ the +good life+, me and Common on common ground
I spit crack and niggas could drive it outta town
Gotta Chris Paul mind state, I'm never outta bounds
My life used to be empty like a glock without a round
Now my life full, like a chopper with a thousand rounds (Gunshots)
And I’m grindin’ 'til I’m tired
They say "You ain’t grindin’ 'til you tired"
So I’m grindin’ with my eyes wide
Looking to find
A way
Through the day
A life
For the night
Dear Lord you’ve done took so many of my people but I’m just wonderin’ why
You haven’t taken (my life? x3)
Like what the hell am I (doing right? x3)
(My Life x3)
Walk through the gates of Hell, see my Impala parked in front
The high beams on, me and the Devil share chronic blunts
Listening to the "Chronic" album, playing backwards
Shootin’ at pictures of Don Imus for target practice
My mind fucked up, so I cover it with a Raider hood
I'm from the city that made you motherfuckers afraid of Suge (Compton...
Compton...)
Made my grandmother pray for good
And never made her happy, when I bet that new Mercedes could (My Life x3)
Ain't no bars, but niggas can't escape the hood
They took so many of my niggas, that I should hate the hood
But it's real niggas like me, that make the hood
Ridin' slow in that Phantom just the way I should (My Life x3)
With the top back
In my Sox hat
I'm paid in full, the nigga Alpo couldn't stop that
Even if they brought the nigga 'Pac back
I'd still keep this motherfucker cocked back
And I’m grindin’ til I’m tired
They say "You ain’t grindin’ til you tired"
So I’m grindin’ with my eyes wide
Looking to find
A way
Through the day
A life
For the night
Dear Lord you’ve done took so many of my people but I’m just wonderin’ why
You haven’t taken (my life x3)
Like what the hell am I (doing right? x3)
I'm not a perfect person
Because in my life, many things didin't go to do
And then in the future, i go to have my price
i go to pay by ,my mistakes
but i think that the life is very injust
ans i must to find another way
what i must to do
To change this life
TELL ME
why this life is so bad
will i be just go have a piece in the hel
to burn
But now i think that i already have
A soluction for my problem
but, i have to continue to fight
and never desisit...
Chourus

My life, take it, it's mine to give.
Take it, let me live in you.
My life, take it, it's yours.
Do what you will, I dedicate it to you.
What's the use in waking
If you're not there to share the dreams and nightmares?
My life, take it, for better or worse.
Why waste time?
We both know together is the only way.
We'll make it any way.
Take it, my life,
My life is you.
What's the use in waking
If you're not there to share the dreams and nightmares?
I've only myself to...
I've only myself to (give to) you.
For better or worse I dedicate my life to you.
When I was young, I used to dream of going far,
Having my once, in a life time chance, to prove I was a star.
A thousand times you stood in the wings, dreaming it was me,
I heard the people going wild, but it was just my fantasy,
Life is a dance, maybe we're all players, so stand up and smile, and don't be
afraid,
**chorus**
This is my night, This is my song, standing right here,
out on the stage, is where I belong,
This is my song, this is my night, standing right here,
out on the stage, in the spotlight...
I traveled the road, where ever the road would lead,
I made mistakes, but I wouldn't quit, I made myself believe,
Dreams come true, for those who dream, so one day you can say,
the music speaks, the beat of life, and let the music play!
Life is a dance, maybe we're all players, so stand up and smile, and don't be
afraid
(My life, my life, my life, my life in the sunshine)
If you looked in my life
And see what I've seen
If you looked in my life
And see what I've seen
If you looked in my life
And see what I've seen
If you looked in my life
And see what I've seen
(My life, my life, my life, my life in the sunshine)
Life can be only what you make it
When you're feelin' down
You should never fake it
Say what's on your mind
And you'll find in time
That all the negative energy
It would all cease
And you'll be at peace with yourself
You won't really need no one else
Except for the man up above
Because he'll give you love
(My life, my life, my life, my life)
If you looked into my life
If you looked in my life
And see what I've seen
If you looked in my life
And see what I've seen
If you looked in my life
And see what I've seen
If you looked in my life
And see what I've seen
Take your time
Baby don't you rush a thing
Don't you know, I know
We all are struggling
I know it is hard but we will get by
And if you don't believe in me
Just believe in He
'Cause he'll give you peace of mind, yes he will
And you'll see the sunshine for real, yes you would
And you'll get to free your mind
And things will turn out fine
Oh, I know that things will turn out fine
Yes they would, yes they would
(My life, my life, my life, my life in the sunshine)
If you looked in my life
And see what I've seen
If you looked in my life
And see what I've seen
If you looked in my life
And see what I've seen
If you looked in my life
And see what I've seen
(My life, my life, my life, my life)
If you looked in my life
And see what I've seen
If you looked in my life
And see what I've seen
(My life, my life, my life, my life)
If you looked in my life
And see what I've seen
If you looked in my life
[scratched:] "Whattya think makes up a K-R-S?"
[KRS-One:]
Skinny cat, young cat, with a knapsack strapped to my back
1981 before the crack attack
I used to let the Olde English 800 suds bubble
In the last car of the Franklin Avenue shuttle
Brooklyn, no doubt, Wingate Park, no doubt
Prospect Park I'm all laid out
Homeless, my gear played out and I know this
But I'm an MC I stay focused
I took the shuttle to the D and wrote my rhymes in a hour
Took the D to the E, last stop the Twin Towers
Sittin in the belly of the beast
In the World Trade organization, bein harassed by the police
I wrote my rhymes right there on the spot
New York City, 1984 corruption was hot
Cats sellin uzis out the Jacob Javits Center for a high price
Let me tell you 'bout my life
[Chorus:]
[scratched:] "The type of shit a young black man
gotta go through every day of his life"
[scratched:] "Hard times to live in
Wake up in the morning thank God"
[scratched:] "The type of shit a young black man
gotta go through every day of his life"
[scratched:] "Hard times to live in
Wake up in the morning" ... "Now it's my turn"
{"Listen"}
[KRS-One:]
Eighty-five comes in, eighty-six comes in
The marijuana with the cocaine mix comes in
High class hustlers, I'm takin flicks with them
My first songs Red Alert, he's mixin them
This a far cry from a kid sleepin on the bench
Now I'm V.I.P. in the club, this don't make sense
But it does, as I take daps and hugs
from cats that move drugs, they say "Kris rise above"
Everybody knew my style, Kris was no coward
I wanted to get in the game but my peeps wouldn't allow it
They'd say, "Read them books and write them hooks
Save our children, give 'em a whole new outlook"
So I did, I lived like any street kid
But I was handed 20 books, others were handed 20 year bids
Still they wouldn't sell to your mother or your wife
There was respect man~! Let me tell you 'bout my life
[Chorus]
[KRS-One:]
1987 my career blowin up now
Me and Scott LaRock took the year growin up now
Me I'm just a private cat, whatever you perceive as live
KRS is as live as that
We the livest act, in eighty-eight, eighty-nine, and ninety-now
But them years be far behind me now
In ninety-one, no one can find me now
I chose the underground to rhyme where it's grimy, WOW
Rewind me now, 13 albums for you to see
Or catch me speakin at them universities
My mind stays keen, I'm hardly ever seen
I do a lot of work, just not in the mainstream
[scratched:] "Know what you need to learn
Old school artists don't always burn"
[scratched:] "Know what you need to learn...
All my love is all I have
All my life I look for you
I'm just Fab, I see how Mary be now
But I can barely be found
And I rarely be round
But when I do, the jury be drowned
And you can see how clear the Pile Vase, and the Canaries be now
The top on the 5 series be down
And I'm chillin' where them little houses on the prairie be now
Although there was a time I would barely see fowls
But I'm gettin' a multi-million dollar yearly fee now
Girls, don't even know me, want to marry me now
Dudes, I thought was homies, want to bury me now
That's why I keep a bulletproof vest, no matter where we be now
And I carry three pounds, and nearly three rounds
I take whatever the verdict from the jury be now
Rather than friends, it's pallbearers that carry me round
Everybody staring unnecessarily now
But there's no tints on my lights, so you can clearly see now
All my love is all I have
And my dreams are very special
All my life I looked for you
And today your dream come true
You need me and I need you
Lovin' us is very special
Lovin' life and life and livin'
Your very special
Ya'll can never be built like me, even if ya'll look at my blueprint
But since ya'll watches look like its movement
I'll show you how video games look on the new Sprint
Flip out digital screens, look in the new Bent
100 and flat screens, look in the new Pint
Even our Air Forces lookin' to new tints
I stay away from anythin' that look like a nuisance
But ya'll gotta peep this rookie's improvement
I tip it with you and
Cause most dudes was doin' verses for a few dollars and a hook for a few cents
All I do is try to teach and look to influence
But it look like the students are playin' hooky, and truin'
And some say that we lookin' like new gents
But money talks, and it don't look like ya'll fluent
And ya'll done seen how this young'n look in the new pints
But it's my life and you can't look in the new tints
Uh, If I could say so myself, I came a long way
Even though I feel like the same old John J.
Nothin' change, when I aim, I'm gonna spray
When I eat, I order the same old entree
When I ride, I let the same old songs play
And when I work, I do the same old long days
From bein' Fab, to looked at by dames the wrong way
They know where we came, from the name they call me
I already know what these lames is gonna say
And I already seen what games they gonna play
Fuck with family, don't say the name the wrong way
And when you die, ya'll crackers gonna blame it on strays
Cause love is life, and life is livin'
Your very special
Me and Fab are very special

[Krayzie - Chorus]
Hard times got my mind in bind.
I'll go crazy tryin to climb out the grime thats in my life (my life).
Im surprised I survived. It's amazin! (amazin) Im alive, I got by with my life!
[Layzie Bone]
Everytime I look around it seem like Im in trouble, pressured by the devil.
Lord I love You and I really trust You. Wish that I could hug You.
Disappear from the grain and the rubble and I'm tryin to keep from going under.
We ride, Eastside, blowin in the wind.
Each time I try, they lie, no lie! Judgin from the outside lookin in.
Never had a clue of what Id really do. The ghetto pushin through, but I'ma do it right.
Never buckle, never stop to struggle!
Layzie gotta muscle through the pressure, bust pipes, my life, highlights, bright lights, all right! Story of a warrior. My flight, final destination, thug motivation, time never wastin, pacin my stride.
[Flesh-n-Bone]
Tryin to get it good! Feel the hustle and flow.
You know we are them mighty soldiers.
Had it been for all the shit we been through and doin whatever but God surely knows.
So here we are steady on the go. Its too late cause we been through crazy.
Everyday seem to bring a twist that take us on a loop but we dont let it phase.
Raisin these babies through it. We never run away from responsibility, but where you goin?
Youre gonna have to face the music anyway. Livin through a true reality but you be blowin!.
If they test you make em feel the pressure, let off some aggression and yo the Flesh will really give em something to stress, more likely even less.
[Chorus]
[Krayzie Bone]
My life! (My life) Lil' nigga bailin through the hood, livin crooked like I could.
Get cha for your goods! Make it understood! Put it on the wood!
Nigga what! (what!) I used to have to grind in the dough.
Did a little time in the poke.
A couple wicked rhymes that I wrote really helped a nigga shine with my folks.
Cause, nigga, I was broke. Eazy heard us go. And Eazy said,
Whoa, yall niggas dope! Five niggas loc, five killer flows, yall finna blow!
So temptation made us sign the papers overnight sensation!
Clearly chasing satan. Niggas really famous.
Got a lot of haters, calling us the greatest, number one and can't nobody fade us!
Got that top spot (done did it, done did it) and then came back fallin down. (down)
[Wish Bone]
I dont know what happened? What happened? Why did Eazy die?
Whats wrong with Bizzy? He alright! Is Flesh really comin home? Is Bizzy comin' home?
Just wish he'd come and take Henny the dome! Im so high, stay faded. (faded)
Might feel a little better but the pain stays there. Its ok, the real gotta spike.
Everywhere we go, the hood (?...). They can relate to the fight, the real from the fake.
Sound good hes alive.
[Chorus]
[Bizzy Bone]
As I wake up early in the morning. Light my cigarette and wake up all my bitches.
Take a shower, quickly tell The Lord I love Him! Didnt invite the devil cause I gave him (?...) evil.
I never ever thought Id keep my candleslit up, get em', hit em', get em', (?) Bizzy!
Nobody know my struggle nor my hustle. I'ma certified rider! Gave up all my children.
Women in my shit & dipping, Now you know the Lord is always with me thats my only weapon.
Talk to every sinner Bless em'. Then I raise my seven (...?...) and I don't give a fuck either! Television celebratin Livin (?), every now and then I'm chillin'.
I know it's your life nigga..you do as you please (That's right)
But you know we be fucking up
Huh, Huh....Yeah Aye, Aye, Aye..Yea, Yea, Yeah (What)
Aye, Aye, Aye......Yea, Yea, Yeah
That nigga Daz and T.I. is in the motherfuckin house..You know what I mean
It's your life nigga....live or die.......Wooooh!!
Can't ya see I'm on fire, so quit hating on me pimpin, I'm just living my life
Think I ain't gone ride, on all you pussy niggas tryin to put an end to my life
You can't do it, don't try...I know you sucker niggas wish that you was living my life
In white linen, I'm fly..top down in the spiderville, riding for the rest of my life
A-town veteran, started at eleven
When and bought an eight-ball, I was staying down every since
That's why its hard to find a young rapper nigga better than
Bankhead resident, Westside represent, Pimp Squad mobster
Grand Hustle president, heart of a lion and the nuts of an elephant
Trap musik heaven sent, you hating and it's evident
You trying to stack presidents, I'm tryin to set precedents
The comparison is insulting my intelligene
Cause real recognize real, and real you ain't never been
You never will, I catch ya where you chill,
holla at ya where you live nigga, fuck a record deal (what's happenin)
I graduated out the yay, to stack a couple mill
Who would figure it would be a rap nigga I have to kill
My potnaz telling me shawty you have to chill (fuck that shit)
but Ima end Up hating with steel, what is is, still dope boy trap niggas
Worldwide lovin it, haters see the spider and they wanna put a slug in it
Fuck it, I'm a G, I been a rider, I ain't studding it
Better get ya mind of mind, and start hustling
I should BG banging the stripes, ideas when I strike
Breaking my victims, lining them niggas all with the light
Get it right, hold it tight, blast with all your might
See we hustle for them grands til the early light
Follw my plan on command, leave'em dead where they stand
Ain't no stopping the man nigga with grands in my hands
Living the fast lane, grand hustle the gram when the cash came
(Grand hustle nigga)
The police book me, take my fingerprint and last name
If I'm stuck in a cell, how would I maintain
Lock up all these niggas, the penitentiary mind frame
I strive for perfection, my method is quite collective
Check out the fuckin way I just rep it
This dog pound gangsta in the back take a licking
Rims shining, fresh paint, T.I. counting paper
Big moves stay on deck with the tools
All ya'll niggas and bitches and niggas get sprayed with the tools..Blahhh
This how we hustle for the paper, cause the hustle get harder
I'm dog pounded out, an Atlanta Brave starter
Money, weed, and bitches, 24 inches conversating
T.I. plotted on getting these niggas, now for my niggas
Murdering, killing, wheeling the spider, on a mission
All my niggas ya'll know how the fuck we kick it
I'ma keep my eye on a meal ticket, hustle it up motherfucker better kick it
All eyes on me, with my westside homie
In a drop 65, on D's, wanna ride on me
I got a forty-five, on me
In a hurry to die homie, get live on me
You charged with tryin to OG
And I'm creepin through the crowd, low key, nigga
You don't know me
I learned from niggas before me
I got insomnia shawty, I don't sleep, I bomb, I don't creep
Ya'll niggas know how we do this shit
T.I, that nigga Daz....youknowhatimean
This my life, your life, our life, his life.live it to the fullest
One time for Pac, we miss you nigga...Yeah, Yeah, Yeah
One time for Shorty B, keepin it pimpin' (Aye)
PSC, Grand Hustle, pimp (yeah)
Fuck nigga, let this be a lesson to ya...Yeah, Yeah, Yeah
Ya'll niggas better start training man
You better be a damn good ducker nigga,
When I goddamn let loose with this chopper, you understand that
I ain't playin with ya'll niggas, Once the motherfuckin judge
Slam that goddamn gaffel nigga and let a motherfuckin case beat nigga
I'm at ya'll ass nigga..Mark my motherfuckin words, Fuck boys
(5:07)
(No lyrics)
Who is my friend who is my foe, I just can't tell no mo'
Cause seem like everywhere I go, somebody got a problem with Ro
It might be somebody from the past, or somebody I don't know
Bottom line I ain't never fucked with nobody, why y'all fucking with me fo'
It's a trip, to see how all these people scream my name
Cause I could remember whole lot of em, that said I'd never make it in the rap game
Look at me now though, I got cars and cash
And since I'm able to say fuck regular weed, I get hydro by the bag
I'm the same nigga white tennis shoes, blue jeans and a white t-shirt
24/7 all day and night, around the clock that's how we work
I could give a fuck, about these niggaz wanting beef
They been muted by my paper chase, interrupt me you might come up deceased
Bitch I'm a product, of the streets
Plus I'm an animal that seem raw and untamed, and J. Prince got me off the leash
I'm a motherfucking beast, when it come down to my bread
Hey red you pull the cover back, it's time to lay in your bed
[Hook:]
In my life, don't nobody wanna see me win
In my life, they'd rather see me disgusted with no ends
In my life, everyday another friend turn to a foe
That's why my motto is fuck friends, hand me my do'
In my life, I still struggle to make ends meet
It ain't gravy just cause you see me on TV, I'm almost back on the streets
In my life, bitch I done seen and heard it all
So I'm one deep till my casket, I ain't fucking with y'all
[Z-Ro:]
I use to ride or die for you, like you was my gal or something
Simply cause you gave a damn about me, when I had nothing
When all the homies use to laugh at me, because I was broke
You would make a plate for me, and we might sip a six or a fo'
And even though you had a nigga, you said I could spend the night
But out of respect for both of y'all, I chose to kick it under the street light
Hell yeah I was attracted to ya baby, and you know that
I still feel like we look good, together on a Kodak
But a lot of bullshit, been floating round in the air
I 'sposed to said some disrespectful shit, now you hate a playa
And to that skinny bitch with the rigid gold, you need to shut the hell up
Tal'n bout I made you suck my dick for a ride, yeah I made your throat swell up
But tell it, how it really went down
Cause we was coming from the studio, and you leaned over from the passenger side
Yeah you was trying to get me, to let you spend the night
But since I turned you down, you throwing mo' salt in my life
[Hook]
[Z-Ro:]
Life is hard but it's fair, and even though it might rain
I got my galoshes plus my umbrella, ain't no stopping me mayn
Whenever seen my way I'ma deal with it, then send it right back
I been the underdog all my life, that's why I bark like that
And fuck a friend nigga, y'all wasn't trying to kick it when I didn't have no ends nigga
Y'all must think, I'm a fool
Prolly just wanna flip in my whip, and have me pay for the weed
But I'll be damned if I blow my hard earned money, on anyone else but me
I came to this bitch one deep, and that's how I'm gon go
And the way I see it I owe nobody nothing, ain't nobody gon get no do'
Z-Ro King of the Ghetto, and the Mo City Don
Everybody around me is strapped, that's why you never see me with a gun
I get my funds, cause it's the time of the month to pay bills
I ain't rich, ain't no difference between me and the people across the street for real
Homie, I'm just trying to pay bills
My life goes blank, my life goes blank
My life goes blank, my life goes blank
My life goes blank
Life was never what you thought.
Life was never what you saw
Life was never what you saw
The lights go out
The lights go out
The lights go out
The lights go out
The lights go out
The lights go out
Life was never what you thought
Life was never what you thought
I can feel it in the darkness
Getting closer in the night
Like a sacred song you linger on
You give me the wings of flight
And I love your sense of power
Every hour, every need
When the red light shows
Your arms enclose
Like the pillars of destiny
One step forward
I know I can leave this behind
Never look backward
I want to move through space, through time
I want to get to it, seek and you'll find
Check the world do, it it's my life
There's a star shines over you and I
It's my life, I'm just keeping my soul alive
There's talk of revolution
There's no solution to our plight
A red guitar can get you far
But you still know how to fight
They say all roads come together
Every shoulder to the wheel
Solid gold future unfolds
You give me the hands that heal
One step forward
I know I can leave this behind
Never look backward
I want to move through space, through time
I want to get to it, seek and you'll find
Check the world do, it it's my life
There's a star shines over you and I
It's my life and I'm keeping my soul alive
And I'm looking out
And I call your name
I go running in a circle
But I can't get back again
And I'm calling out
I need you here
My whole life took a tumble
And I'm so filled up with fear
My life feels like a runaway train
I'm leading through a tunnel
And I can't get back again
It's my life
Looking through the moonlit night
Keep my soul alive
I'm just keeping my soul alive
It's my life
Gonna keep on through the moonlit night
I just keep my soul alive
I just keep my soul alive, It's my life
Keeping my soul alive
I'm just keeping my soul alive
Keeping my soul alive
I'm just keeping my soul alive
Keeping my soul alive
Got a call from an old friend we'd used to be real close
Said he couldn't go on the American way
Closed the shop, sold the house, bought a ticket to the west coast
Now he gives them a stand-up routine in L.A.
I don't need you to worry for me cause I'm allright
I don't want you to tell me it's time to come home
I don't care what you say anymore this is my life
Go ahead with your own life leave me alone
I never said you had to offer me a second chance
I never said I was a victim of circumstance
I still belong
Don't get me wrong
And you can speak your mind
But not on my time
They will tell you you can't sleep alone in a strange place
Then they'll tell you can't sleep with somebody else
Ah but sooner or later you sleep in your own space
WHA WHA WHA WHA

CHORUS
Drop that beat, it's the truth,
You don't know what you have until you lose it
I've had all the women you could possibly imagine in my life (in my life)
I've had all the cars, all the cribs, all the money in my life (in my life)
I've had my ups, my downs, I've paid my dues, earned my stripes (earned my stripes)
But nothing compares to the love I have for you (have for you)
All I know is the hustle and grind
And all you want is some quality time but
I can't give it to you due to the life that I chose
My heart is so cold to the point that my blood it froze
I might wear diamonds if they really could freeze time
But then again time is money and I needs mine
There I go again being selfish
And here you go again in love and helpless
You mean the world to me baby, you know it's the truth
But I don't know who I love more, you or the booth
These are just some things I need to get off my chest
Sometimes I feel all I can give you is sex
I'm sorry
I've had all the women you could possibly imagine in my life (in my life)
I've had all the cars, all the cribs, all the money in my life (in my life)
I've had my ups, my downs, I've paid my dues, earned my stripes (earned my stripes)
But nothing compares to the love I have for you (have for you)
I ain't gon' lie baby, this life is addicting
The fame, the money, especially these bitches
I've been around it all, I've seen 'em ball
I've seen 'em fall, go broke and lose it all
That's why I work hard 365, 24/7 baby this my life
I breathe, I bleed, I eat, I sleep, I shit this
I got a bad stomach with these haters on my shit list
Baby, I know it's hard to understand
But it's out of my hands, baby this is Gods plan
I came, I saw, I conquered
I apologize but this game made me a monster
I'm sorry
I've had all the women you could possibly imagine in my life (in my life)
I've had all the cars, all the cribs, all the money in my life (in my life)
I've had my ups, my downs, I've paid my dues, earned my stripes (earned my stripes)
But nothing compares to the love I have for you (have for you)
In my life, I've done some wrong, I've done some right (you live and you learn girl)
In my life, I've done some wrong, I've done some right (This the struggle)
In my life, I've done some wrong, I've done some right (from nothing to something)
In my life, I've done some wrong, I've done some right (This all I know)
Done some wrong and some right
Go to work, go to school
Get an education, so you won_t be a fool
Be a doctor, PHD, all that shit, that's not for me
All my life people tell what to say
This is my life live it my own way
Was so blind could not see
figures of authortity, always standing behind me,
ready to come down on me
All my life people tell what to say
(B.G. Talking)
[Verse 1]
I was born 1980 September 3rd
thats the day checks come out and vics gets served
so you know I got the blood of a hustla in my vain
my daddy had 3 brother that all gave me some game
they was raised in the projects I was born in the hood
I was raised on the block my mom did what she could
always got what I need sometimes I got a lil mo
but I grew up watching g's on the set gettin dough
I made b's n c's up in to 5th grade
it went to d's n f's cuz I didnt want to behave
I was the class clown Christopher raise hair
I show my dick to them hoes and I get expelled
yeah I get punished I was supposed to be inside
I snuck out the back round the school fo lunch time
the police spotted me id break out and run
make em run behind me that was my way of having fun
somewhere in 87 might of been 88
I knew of Baby and Slim we was from round the same way
they moved a lot of weight but I aint gone tell it all *shhh*
I?m a cut this boy short cuz my moms was involved
(B.G. Talking)
[Verse 2]
You can put it together it was what it wasnt
nah cakes to be baked but she had cakes in the owen
she told me if I touch it that id fuck it up
if I knew what I know now i would of took it n cut it up
92 roll round thats when it got real
my daddy got set up kidnapped robbed and killed
Cash Money Records was started that same year
thats when my thuggin started I was gettin it how I live
my moma needed help I was outta control
the streets took me under I was on a dead end row
the hood barber stand knew Baby and hit him up
told him I had skills he needed to peep me up
he did that snatch me him Slim and Fresh was feelin me
took me to studio from that we made history
(B.G. Talking)
[Verse 3]
In the mid east of that I was doin my thang
and I met this four foot hustla they called him Lil Wayne
that was my lil nigga called my lil brotha
Baby drew a cross between us but I still love him
Universal up to deal we went to get mills
thats when nigga decided to not keep it real
I had a idea I didnt want to believe it
I wouldnt thought of it in a million years he'll do that to Geezy
I had a dope habbit and markie was on my back
so he turned his back but look how I shookback
you know how it go you get up when you fall
the streets all over they rooted for the underdog
I got Kizzle I got Snipe I got Gar on my team
and I got click of niggas ready for war on my team
from Detroit to Atlanta Texas and Nashville
play if you want and you see how the gat feel
that was all in my past L.T. dog I miss ya
its Uptown 4 life Chopper City Records the official
[Chamillionaire]
My life
My life, really feelin hard times
Lookin out my window, holdin my weapon like Malcolm X and
And it seems I'm over-stressin, feelin like hatin is your profession
And I know a couple Texans that got killed for over-reppin
So I never be oversteppin boundaries bounded to my weapon
When they ask me how I'm doin, I just tell 'em "I'm doin super"
I got a date with Destiny, allow me to introduce ya
Her little sister Fate told me I'm gon' be the future
And legacy's everything to a Martin Luther King Koopa
This recession is so pathetic, got me feelin like I'm athletic
And success tryna get away from me and I ain't tryna let it
When they told that Pimp was gone, my reply was "I don't get it"
And I'm still havin trouble believin it happened the way they said it
Had to cut some partners off, swear to y'all it ain't my fault
I've been grown since I was seven and I was born to be a boss
But I know there's a bunch of haters tryna see me take a loss
So I be sleepin with one eye open and put cameras in my vault
I've been thinkin and gettin deep and they tryna tell I been preachin
But I know that they can't see how much of the world that I be reachin
So stop reachin, stop leachin, I'ma fade 'em out like bleach and
In the spots where they can't get out to is the spots I visit frequent
Europe to UK and Germany, travellin currently
Made so much in millions that I could cash out in eternity
Accustomed to hittin customs with that duffle full of currency
When God created hustle, looked at the world and he inserted me... Koopa
[Hook: Chamillionaire X4]
I'm just livin my life, so cold
In the streets so I'm takin it slow
[Trae]
Uh, yeah
I'll tell you my story, I only speak the truth homie
It a terrible situation, throwed on the curb within the hands of time
But since I'm blistery breathing I guess a nigga livin fine
I live a life that's filled with dramatistic people cryin
And since the hood depend on me, they'll never lose a hand of mine (I gotcha)
I'm paralysed when it come to the good times, I'm used to the pain
Feelin like a bum under the bridge, I'm so used to the rain
Anything I do is from the heart so it reflect my name
Forgive me for my sins father, I feel like I'm goin insane
Media criticising me for checking niggas, fuck it, oh well
I just wasn't raised a little pussy disrespected nigga
I'm tryna live on my own by the ways of a gangster
So every time I leave out I pray so I'm prayin for a gangster
It's bad enough the world we livin in all about money
Since we runnin out I choose to believe it ain't nothin funny
I've been stabbed in my back so much I deal with it
I'm tryna kick it with my life before heaven come chill with it
[Hook X4]
[Slim Thug]
Last year was a hard one but life goes on
Thinkin bout my nigga Pimp while I write this song
And the list goes on, all my niggas is gone
I'm tired of hearin bad news, scared to pick up my phone
Got a call, my nigga Eddy died from Acres home
Just seen him at my video shoot, now that shit wrong
Kelvo, Arborea, even my girl ShantZ
I just heard word she got stabbed to death today
Dear Lord, I pray that you take away the pain
From their family and their friends, please help us change
Still warm my niggas sleep dog, stessle and stank
My girl Dee Dee, they got me pourin out my drank
It's fucked up, all my friends is dead or in the pen
Seem like soon as your life begin it's beginning to end
I'm frustrated, but you gotta smile, your time is dated
You never know when showin your love might be related, hah
[Hook X4]
My life is a fantasy
I don't ? a phalacy.
im tired of philosophy
I think that I know where I wanna be
im tired of making plans
I don't wanna feel I can understand
im tired but I wanna be
I'll see today what I wanna see
I'll see today what I wanna see
I'll see...
Right now, my head is a supernova
When I get ? my life is over
Right now, my head is a supernova
When I get ? my life is over
my life is over
my life...
im tired of the thought of me
My life is the way that it oughta be
You and me are all alone
You know that's the way that I wanna be
When im on my own
My life feels like something I've been thrown
It's not that im not pleased with it
Sometimes I don't feel at ease with it
Sometimes I don't feel at ease with it
im tired
Right now, my head is a supernova
When I get ? my life is over
Right now, my head is a supernova
When I get ? my life is over
my life is over
my life is over
my life is over
my life is over
[Chorus: MadChild]
How did this get outta control (outta control) I gotta learn how to leave it alone (leave it alone)
How did these pills get control of my life
They got a hold of my life, I need control of my life back [x2]
[Hook: MadChild]
10's, 20's 40's, 80's MadChild popping more pills than Slim Shady
Cash, cars, strippers, models traded all of that for little pills in a bottle
Oxys, Percocet, Vicodin, Somas doesn't really matter long as I am in a coma
My family and my friends say enough is enough
This is MadChild's life and I'm fucking it up
[Verse 1: MadChild]
Constipated, only shit when I'm concentrated
MadChild try to catch and I'm constant faded
The promoter's happy if the little monster made it
Known for skipping shows but known for ripping flows
Was known for stacking gwap, rocking shows and hitting hoes
Now waking up to pay the bill is fucking typical
I'm watching porno but my dick ain't hard
People look at me like who the fuck is this retard
All I do is watch movies, stoned alone on my couch
Passed out with a lit cigarette in my mouth
I got cigarette holes on my couch, on my clothes
Cigarette burns in my house on the floor
Doing a head nod pushing my whip through the streets
But it's not to the beat it's cause I'm falling asleep
I got a monkey on my back dog enough is enough
Cause this is MadChild's life and I'm fucking it up
[Chorus x2]
[Hook]
[Verse 2: MadChild]
Had myself an intervention, dragged my ass to rehab
Love God but prayed so much I should have bought kneepads
There's too many rules to follow that shit was making me mad
Sit and talk to strangers and I listen to feedback
Hi! My name is
MadChildmy name is
Quit drugs, go back to being drunk and famous 20 days later I was back on the plane 25 days later back at it again
I was back in outer space like an astronaut
With a box of cracker jacks and an astropop
Popping pills like candy, so much candy
My tummy looking like the late John Candy
My girl get mad cause I don't get randy
That's about the time Viagra come in handy
Aw man, come on dog enough is enough
This is MadChild's life and I'm fucking it up
[Chorus x2]
[Hook: MadChild]
10's, 20's 40's, 80's Asher Roth sounds exactly like Slim Shady
Cash, cars, strippers, models traded all of that for little pills in a bottle
Oxys, Percocet, Vicodin, Somas doesn't really matter long as I am in a coma
My family and my friends say enough is enough
I want to know
If I walk down a certain road, it was my choice
And I want to know
If I had something to say, I raised my voice
I don't wanna wake up a little too late
And say I could've done this or I should've done that
When I close my eyes at night
I wanna know I'm doing the best I can
When I'm sittin' there
In my rocking chair, looking at my life
I hope to God I would've done
Something good with my life
At the end of the day, I can only pray
That I can look back and say
I lived my life, oh, I lived my life
Don't want to take my father's father's path
I gotta make my own
Don't want my epitaph to read
"Wish they could've known me"
I don't want that carved in stone
I want to leave this place
With a smile on my face
Knowing what's in my heart
Didn't just stay in my heart
And whatever heaven gave me
I want to know I gave it all back
When I'm sittin' there
In my rocking chair, looking at my life
I hope to God I would've done
Something good with my life
At the end of the day, I can only pray
That I can look back and say
I lived my life, oh, I lived my life
When I'm sittin' there
In my rocking chair, looking at my life
I hope to God I would've done
Something good with my life
At the end of the day, I can only pray
That I can look back and say
I lived my life, oh, I lived my life
Well, I want to be an open book
Say I gave more than I took
[Intro: Scarface talking]
oooohh, yo Vice drop this heat dog, ugh
hit the bass line, yo Vice what you're doin' man
straight up, ugh
[Verse 1: Scarface]
I'm too deep to quit, and too strick to fold
and you need to split nigga G into code
come on, these years to teach, homey speak to know it
bodybag what we're talkin' about, you weak, you row
the game is overcrowded so we fight for space
neighbourhood show the hustle, still we grind to win
tryin' to find a way, to come up on 2 pounds of yay
and double up it, ain't never happened touch it
a lot of niggaz focued on they candy paints
and that was in the grills, steering wheels and grand
but I ain't trippin' out here, flippin' I just need to thank
money miny, yo all the mission tryin' to steal me bank
ride and homicides we get it, fuck it, peepin' in horn
killin' all these pussy niggaz think they keepin' in God
Pistol cocked on the block and all they fearin' is death
then again nigga, roaddog you feelin' me yet
so if I die, I'm tryin' to get it mamma, barely deed
and pray to God that he kept this spot hell me
sad as fuck, what the nigga stuck down the raw
bust friends, back in the prison, foundin' rock to the troup
here I smoke and tryin' to hide it but was played by the rule
and if live like the gold fiend then you'd do what they do
I'm on my own limits sold buck words
all alone in the ghetto, deep in weed, sweat in Jelly Nose
worrey eyes, you either do it or you die
crimin' in flood, ridin' your blood, cause this is your life...
[Chorus: Johnny P]
our golden law, now foes or friends
I'm on my own, no hoes, no ends
I been smillin' but I can't innovate
I feel that hurt but I can't explain it
I have been around with a player or two
and still ??Hurricane can be, ??
?? loose when you pumped the face
real nigga blues and it hold your aims
you're bold or fold no in betweens
console your seems don't blow your creams
also don't you loose your dreams
this is my life, this is my life
[Verse 2: Willie D]
I just got word: my uncle done died
but ain't no tears on my face cause I done already cried
I been here before, dead to me is not new
my heart safe it, mamma don't, cops too
I got my best to get my purpose to the Lord
but sometimes this shit be fuckin' with me hard
and I'm heartless, I'm a kid again
lookin' out my window watchin' niggaz get murdered
in college worked the parties, step with??, drink ??
just to get through the night
go to school only the anchor stomach givin' you fight
cause sure there were fights and I was bustin' like a the sun bitch
the smartest nigga on the block live in ??kick
the convicts with worry ?? hard to ?? to the tails
searchin' for heaven and livin' in hell
they say I'm wrong for teaches this on
fuck what you believe, can't heal by myself
that's the way I'm livin', this is my life
[Chorus: Johnny P]
our golden law, now foes or friends
I'm on my own, no hoes, no ends
I been smillin' but I can't innovate
I feel that hurt but I can't explain it
I have been around with a player or two
and still ??Hurricane can be, ??
?? loose when you pumped the face
real nigga blues and it hold your aims
you're bold or fold no in betweens
console your seems don't blow your creams
also don't you loose your dreams
this is my life, this is my life
[Verse 3: Bushwick Bill]
I only got one eye but I see things ever so clear
been acquainted with death but I never know fear
I still roll to spots, cats scared to go there
if it's a heaven for a G, if not, prepare to go there
I live for today and not promise tommorrow
smoke weed and set lead and try to dry my sorrows
in this game of life ain't no rules to follow
and if I come to lie for them it's a hard heal to swallow
I'm still the smallest cat with the biggest rep in H-Town
stress in my life is gettin' hard to take down
havin' visions of cats rollin' in my weight now
it feels like I'm about to have a nervous break down
it takes a big man to share this pride
tryin' to get my soul right and put the brain inside
y'all niggaz are so scared to ride
they got it from Still I alive to Why I Feel So bad inside
this is my life....
[Chorus: Johnny P]
our golden law, now foes or friends
I'm on my own, no hoes, no ends
I been smillin' but I can't innovate
I feel that hurt but I can't explain it
I have been around with a player or two
and still ??Hurricane can be, ??
?? loose when you pumped the face
real nigga blues and it hold your aims
you're bold or fold no in betweens
console your seems don't blow your creams
also don't you loose your dreams
this is my life, this is my life
Who the fuck - nigga hittin shots in the truck
Hope I'm able to make this right turn, my Neon fucked
The wodie that I'm with, bawlin up like a bitch
instead of tryin to retaliate by bustin his shit
My leg already fucked up, been playin it bald
Now I gotta drive the car too, (?) and all
Left arm on the steerin wheel, right on the Mac
Them niggaz brought it to me raw so I'm bringin it back
Out the window with it dumb sinnin, but I crashed
This boy went straight through window his stupid ass
And I'm noticin I smell gas
Gotta bust a airbag, get out the car fast and haul ass
I still gotta duck bullets that cut through bricks
What the fuck I did to make niggaz want do me like this
Won't be long 'fore one of the bullets ignite the gas
They'll meet - even the buildings gonna be ash
My life my life my life my life
My life my life my life my life
Ain't no sunshine 'til they gone
Ain't no sunshine 'til they gone
I'ma go on to survive but the story returns
After bein treated several months for 3rd degree burns
My lil cousin Denaun flipped out, and murdered his children
I gotta go by my aunt now, he hurtin her feelings
He's lookin at a L, swearin no need for a trial
Accept it like a man bitch or live in denial
Whatchu think the people gon' say, when they look at his file
Hear that little boy, snicker he in here for a while
I had a shit bag on me, I could barely walk
Everybody knew the story but was scared to talk
I read lips when I pull up, right after I park
I hear a nigga say whass happen wo' but not from the heart
Word gotta be out, a lot of tension's in the air black
Your everyday niggaz ain't even muchly makin transac'
If I think about a gun, I'ma get ten
The people got they ears to the streets and they be listenin
Niggaz be knowin them bitches slippin when I'm dishin
I'd rather be locked down in prison than come up missin
But that goes to show you how fast the laws work
They was peepin with somebody that punished them boys first
Don't they know the people still thinkin I sent the hit
I'd accept it if I did it but they wrong for that shit
To the police, I sounded like the boy cryin wolf
Cause they know I like slangin rice shootin dice with the crooks
Everythang in life I accumulated I took
It's a neverending episode, my life is a book
I'm hot, so I'm ridin round up in Rock(?)
There's a funeral pass, two cops and five limos
Man that's one of them niggaz was tryin to snipe me
I betcha everybody in that crowd don't like me
I should go up in the bitch bustin
I would really like to know you better
But sometimes I'm afraid that it's not meant to be
I would like to believe in something higher
But I can't get a grip on all the little things
When the night comes I cannot sit still you see
And the years they have not been so kind to me
Got a gallery of figures standing all in a row
And every single figure has a soul of it's own
But I never look back
Never look back
Don't turn your back on me
(Chorus)
(Hey yeah) My life has come unraveled again
Like so many threads
(Hey yeah) my life has begun unfolding
In so many pieces
(Hey yeah) my life has come unraveled again like
So many threads in the wind - drift away - drift away
There's a time and a place
For understanding
And a time when action speaks louder than words
And I don't seem to get no indications
And I don't know how to get through to you
And when time like the pyramids
Has worn away
All the mountains and the valleys
Of the words that we say
We have got to make sure that something remains
If we lose each other we've got no one to blame
So never look back
Never look back
Don't turn your back on me
Hey baby
This is my life yeah
This is my life
Baby ohhh
This is life
January 3, 1986
Busting out for the fix
Took my first steps
No clue at how physical life gets
Round uptown Calio projects
Whole life stopped when my daddy got popped
One head shot he was dead on the spot
Now I’m running around with my stomach in knots
Knowing memories is all I got
Ohh nobody knows about the struggling I been through
That’s why I hustle like I do
I gotta provide for my people
Yeah
And nigga I done worked too hard
I done came too far to loose
Can’t stay still gotta stay on the move
Leave everyday with a point to prove
Mama jumped ship
Hoping shit gone change
Now I’m A-Town bound nigga down for the grain
I’m feeling like I’m loosing my sane
Cause nigga’s round me been using cocaine
Now my dreams of fortune and fame won’t be slain
Just gotta except that I’m on the road that was chose from above
Nigga love is pain
I go and know you been waiting for a long time
Shorty keep a strong grind
Never give up the sun don’t shine
See I’m where I belong now yeah
Just never ever lose perspective
Cause if the shit hits the fan and times get hectic
I’ll fall to my knees and thank god that I’m blessed with
The strength to hold on and deliver the message
My life was once a joy to me
Never knowing, I was growing, every day
My life was once a toy to me
And I wound it and I found it, ran away
So, I raced through the night with a face at my feet
Like a God I would write, all the melodies were sweet
And the women were white, it was easy to survive
My life was so alive
My life was once a flag to me
And I waved it and behaved like I was told
My life was once a drag to me
And I loudly and I proudly lost control
I was drawn by a dream, I was loved by a lie
Every serf on the scene begged me to buy
But I slipped through the scheme, so lucky to fail
My life was not for sale
My life is now a myth to me
Like the drifter, with his laughter in the dawn
My life is now a death to me
So, I'll mold it and I'll hold it till I'm born
So, I turned to the land where I'm so out of place
Throw a curse on the plan in return for the grace
To know where I stand, take everything I own
Take your tap from my bone and leave my life alone
Ha ha ha ha (TLC)
Whoa whoa whoa
Whoa whoa whoa
Whoa whooa whoa
Whoa whoa whoa whoa (oww)
Whoa whoa whoa
Whoa whoa whoa
Whoa whoa whoa whoa
Whoa whoa whoa
Whoa whoa whoa
Whoa whoa whoa whoa
And I believe it don't affect
Nobody else but me
Ya'll been telling me what to do
Since I was old enough to walk
Old enough to talk
Never let me speak or move
Do my own thang
But now I'm growin' wiser now
Brighter now
A little bit tighter now
Now ya'll can't hold me down
I know you hate to hear
But things have changed in
My life
It's been a while but
Me and my style stuck
Now everybody and they
Momma tryna do it
My life
I've done that been through that
So there ain't nothin
That you can tell me
My life
On a good night if I feel like
Me and my girls hit the club and tell
It's my life
It's my life
And I believe that it don't effect
Nobody else but me me me me
Being sick and tired of folks
Who wanna come around
Claim they gon get down
But all they wanna do is
See me make a wrong move (yeah)
I don't care what you hear in the news
To see who I choose to do the late night creep wit
I'm gonna do just what I wanna do
It's my life
Whoa whoa whoa
Whoa whoa whoa
Whoa whoa whoa
Whoa whoa whoa whoa
Whoa whoa whoa
Whoa whoa whoa
Whoa whoa whoa whoa
Whoa whoa whoa
Whoa whoa whoa
Whoa whoa whoa whoa
And I believe that it don't effect nobody else but me
Sometimes I might get a little crazy
And sometimes I might seem
Out of hand but I'm sayin
Life's too short for me to let you dictate
What I say and the moves I make
Sick of people tryna tell me what to do
It's my life and I'ma live it like I want to
Check it
Another day another dolla
Is the reality of my mentality
Otherwise don't even botha
You see my father was a wise old man
Always creatin the plan
For me to conquer this land
He said I am what I am
So be the best that I can
And if them others don't like it
Then why should I give a damn (huh)
Maybe so cause when his life wasn't right
My mother picked up them pieces
And continued on with the fight
So now it's plain to me
It ain't no game to me
See mom and dad corrected math
1 and 1 equal 3
4 and 5 I count my sister and brother
Stay alive till we die
And don't you ever be worried
Cuz I'm down with a ride
Through peaks and valleys to Cresent Hills
Tumble down I'll set a new ground for Jack and Jill
Ever wonder what put the thunder deeply in my eyes
Take a look and you'll find a sunshine
It's my life, one, two, three, four
Everybody's got a price to pay
It's my life
Gonna do things my own way
It's my life
Take what's mine, take what's left
It's my life
Live my life with no respect
It's my life
Everybody's got a price to pay
It's my life
We don't like you anyway
It's my life
And as I walk these streets all alone
It's my life
And I might not feel like going home
It's my life
Everybody's got a price to pay
It's my life
Gonna do things my own way
It's my life
Take what's mine take what's left
It's my life
Live my life with no respect
I’ve been walking all my life
And I can’t find my way to you
I’ve been praying to the lord I’m gon see her face someday,
someday
Well if that don’t come home you know I’ll ride
To make it on my own
I’ve been praying to the lord I’m gon see her face someday
Cold world, killings, this crazy world that we living
That minus thugging and dealing life all good fuck every feelings
Was raised to battle, and my momma didn’t raise no coward
Had a job and I worked them hours, my pride would not allow it
Young men holding all that power and dope like things with the powder
Came up now the niggas wanna doubt ‘em
In the rows ain’t talkin’ flowers
Everybody wanna be so sour
You mad cuz the shit ain’t ours
Handouts only for them cowards
No college degree at Howard
I came up from the bottom
They so scared I’m getting hotter
We sacking them fuckin’ dollars
Just pray for me, will you mama?
Had I came a long way
Wanna know me? Just listen to what the song say
I’ve been walking all my life
And I can’t find my way to you
I’ve been praying to the lord Imma face this day someday, someday
Well if that don’t come home you know I’ll ride
To make it on my own
I’ve been praying to the lord Imma face this day someday
And I told Batin that I got us
They were chasing a whole but the commas
Still balling, you’re dying inside
Do me, never mind your comments
Go hard and give it no favors
Be around cuz a nigga done made it
Where the fuck was you when I needed?
I’m sick and tired of your hatin’
I’m sittin’ cool and I’ patient
And my fans are steady waitin’
Why the fuck I haven’t blew up?
Why the fuck I’m underrated?
I’m the realest thing going
And most of people know it
To my hood I am a god, an illustrated poet
I don’t see no competition
Unless I’m in the mirror
I’m starving in this bitch and I just saved about a million
All my life I’ve been waiting for this moment
But still I’m screaming fuck ‘em
You just shown me my apartment, hold up
I’ve been walking all my life
And I can’t find my way to you
I’ve been praying to the lord Imma face this day someday, someday
Well if that don’t come home you know I’ll ride
To make it on my own
I’ve been praying to the lord Imma face this day someday
I’ve been walking all my life (my life my life…)
I’ve been walking all my life (my life my life…)
And I can’t find my way to you
I’ve been praying to the lord Imma face this day someday, someday
[Intro]
(Nigga, uh)
Yeah, huh (nigga uh)
Why don't ya'll take a look into my life?
See what I see
(Nigga uh, nigga, nigga, nigga uh)
At the age of fourteen, introduce to coops
Learnin' how to seduce niggaz takin' they loot
Quickly, got involved with this money lifestyle
The finer things, all kinda things, power, money
Cars and diamond rings, and nice braids, flaunt it
The Gucci boots with the G's on it
A high price for this 'high price' life
While I'm on tour is my man cheatin' just for spite?
And if you only knew I hold my minks at nights with cheap
Or no other hands can hold me right
My girls ain't the same, guess it's cuz the fame
Bitches smile in my face and throw dirt on my name
Mad cuz I made it, now friends intimidated
Hate it that I'm in the same game as them
With mo' fame than them, they know who they are
This life is no joke, got us havin' to broke
You was my sister, who used to dream together
How we could make it real big, do our thing together
Huh, Thelma & Louise together, remember them days?
Them niggas we played? Now we don't even speak
Went our seperate ways, seperate lives
Lost friendship for pride, playin' the game
About to forfeit high price life, I can't afford it
I met this pretty girl
She was from DC
I liked the way that she smiled
Said “there’s a party tonight
You wanna come with me?”
She said “Baby I’ll try.”
I waited home alone
For her to walk in
For her to bring me her light
Then she came in the room
She looked right at me
She was the vision of my life
Chorus:
(My life) Everything is wonderful
(My life) The sun has started shining so bright
(My life) Just like it’s supposed to go
(My life) And it’s just getting started tonight
You and me we’re living the dream tonight(tonight)
You and me we’re living the dream alright(alright)
You and me we’re living the dream tonight(tonight)
You and me we’re living the dream alright(alright)
I’m in the perfect place
Can’t wipe the smile off my face
Ain’t nothing bringing me down(owhoo na)
I feel like clapping my hands
I feel like stomping my feet
I feel like grooving all night
Put your body close to me
Pick up you can feel my energy
Charge up on the floor and get hot with me
(You and I celebrate God)
Around me now
You couldn’t stop it so just
Treat this like no other day cause I’m
Having the time of my life
Chorus:
Everything is wonderful
The sun has started shining so bright
Just like it’s supposed to go
And it’s just getting started tonight
You and me we’re living the dream tonight
You and me we’re living the dream alright
You and me we’re living the dream tonight
You and me we’re living the dream alright
Bridge:
Take it to the sky
Like never before (like never before)
And we’ll land right on the moon
Like never before (like never before)
Na na na na na na (baby)
Na na na na na na (life feels so good)
Na na na na na na (yeah)
Na na na na na na (it feels so good)
Chorus:
Everything is wonderful
The sun has started shining so bright
Just like it’s supposed to go
And it’s just getting started tonight
You and me we’re living the dream tonight
You and me we’re living the dream alright
My life, it don't count for nothing.
When I look at this world, I feel so small.
My life, it's only a season:
A passing September that no one will recall.
But I gave joy to my mother.
And I made my lover smile.
And I can give comfort to my friends when they're hurting.
And I can make it seem better for a while.
My life, it's half the way travelled,
And still I have not found my way out of this night.
An' my life, it's tangled in wishes,
And so many things that just never turned out right.
But I gave joy to my mother.
And I made my lover smile.
And I can give comfort to my friends when they're hurting.
And I can make it seem better,
I can make it seem better,
I can make it seem better for a while.
Oh, oh oh.
I'm gonna get out of my shell
Try without anybody's help
To loose this heavy load
And get my life back on the road
I've seen the worst when I was down
Only loneliness I found
Now I'm climbing to the top
And I ain't never gonna stop
I'll carry on, though the road is long
I'm gonna get myself together
And I'll hold on, 'cause I am strong
Gonna try to make it better, baby
The rest of my life I'll take these chances
Time goes by so very fast
I'll share my fortune and my failure
'til there's nothing left
And if somewhere down the line
I'll find I'm running out of time
I hope to god that I can say
I made the best of every day
'Til then I'll carry on, 'though the road is long
I'm gonna get myself together
And I'll hold on, 'cause I am strong
I'm gonna try to make it better, baby
The rest of my life I'll take these chances
Time goes by so very fast
I'll share my fortune and my failure

So 5-o wants all a blue khaki suit
Shoot if y'all come down the block, static
Dash like a rabbit barely escapin the automatic
Tragic is the scene that's left
Bringin the pain like meth(od man)

Slow with the creep while the neighbour's asleep
Still music to drive-by and I'm n2 deep

Young niggas strugglin best get your money
Creep up in the late night
Keep your grip tight lay low outta site
And watch the porch light
Cause I ain't got nuttin to lose
And I ain't nuttin when I'm dumpin
Ya'll catchin the blues

I done teached and talked
Walked away and fought
Went from cussin and bustin
Hustle from day to dark
Turned nothin to somethin
Introduced to stunnin
In my life In my life
I done caused some hurt
And I done did some good
Said I can't even when I could
I was stopped and tested fingerprinted and arrested
In my life In my life
Just say no when I really meant yes
I'm gon smoke all night til it hurt my chest
Slim told me over the years that shit gon tear up careers
In yo life In yo life
What'chu gon do when snakes come to yo crew
I'm a get on my knees and ask the Lord please
Separate good from fake and the love and the hate
In my life In my life
I mean fuck I done had a rough life you know what I'm sayin
B.G. lived that thug life
I done done it all in my life
I done done time
I done lived in group homes
I been on the third floor of hospitals
I mean it's just been a stuggle for me
But now I'm on top you know what I'm sayin
And it ain't to turnin back
And I take chances in whatever I do
Cuz if I don't take chances I don't see the life after all
The night in the Rover
When the niggas came over
You went out like a soldier
And I still can't get over
What fake bitches done done
Got me clutchin my gun
In this life In this life
I used to wonder why
All the good niggas die
Why some soldier gotta suffer
And mothers gotta cry
Why my daddie gotta lie
Cuz he don't even try to be
In my life In my life
Take care of your crib
Where you lay down and live
Forget and forgive cuz you done put it through some shit
Had yo daughter and yo son
Been down since day one
In yo life In yo life
What the fuck is wrong you don't understand this song
Tell yo momma you love her before she dead and gone
Nigga that don't quit that's some real ass shit
In this life In this life
Man I mean me Juvenile drugs tore my family up
I'm from the projects so you know I just realized
What it means to be successful
Cuz I been through all kinds of shit man bullshit
And I live through Baby, Slim and the Lord to help me
And I came to them as a real nigga
And I said look dog I'm tired of livin like this man
I had pounds of coke
I had money to blow
I had a felony charge
I had to fight in the court
I had warrant reports
Shot up cars before
In my life My life
I got kids to feed
I got niggas to watch
I need a hundred mil
I need to get off the block
Wear soldier Rees
In the gamblin spot
In my life My life
I could cook it and cut it
I could bag it and move it
I could toat in the budget
Got money to prove it
I done flood the public
Hope Beatrice'll do it
In my life My life
Now my name is Baby
But the call me Bubba
Ain't a bitch that I know that can say that I love her
Gettin pussy from a boss bitch wearin a rubber
In my life My life
Let me stunt and shine
Let me bling and floss
Let me ride without the law always searchin my car
I just wanna chill fuck bitches and play
In my life My life
Hoes cry in my world give me that Baby shit
Goin to the people knowin that they made me and shit
You just don't know what I go through
In my life My life
I got Bentlys and Jags got Prowlers and Vets
Got Benjamins, Hummers, Cadillacs and vests
Condos and houses Cardiers and Rovers
In my life My life
I got cars and broads with money to make
I got that brown wall and that white gate
Got bitches and hoes love that platinum and gold
In my life My life
Beautiful Baby what's happenin
This Lil Turk you heard me
One of the Original Hot Boys
I done did it all you heard me
From runnin through cuts and hallways
Runnin through projects bustin heads
Yeah that's that lil nigga Turk
Young and Thuggin you heard me
I know you gonna let me do what I do
Don't hate me cuz I'm beautiful you heard me
We on top now nigga no longer livin that trife-life
you heard me
Respect and a check we ain't doin nothin but poppin
bottles and fuckin hoes
Y'all don't know a thing, about my life
(my life) my life (my life)
In my life, a lot of haters talking shit
And I might, expose you hoes you out this bitch
And I ride, with the nine I won't fall or slip
If I die, they still will not get off my dick
But I try, to survive like Destiny's Child
And I smile, cause they been trying to test me a while
But I cry, cause not all my partnas alive
But I smile, cause I know all my partnas with God
In my life, a lot of haters baller blocking my shine
I stay calm, even though I ought to drop em a nine
In my life, I make cash using hoes
And my Sprite, is purple so I'm moving slow
On my side, my dogs moving rocks and hay
And I slide, by how I'm chopping blades
When I drive, I got a big cup of syrup
When I glide, I ride with a couple birds
In my life, I feel like I stand alone
But you still wouldn't leave, out of San Anton'
When I die, don't cry get high for me
So you can feel, like you flying in the sky with me
In my life, I went from a straw hat to a crown
I been through a few up's, and a whole lot of downs
I take the good with the bad, however the ball bounce
And lately, I've been walking on dangerous ground
It feels like my own partnas, don't want me around
Cause everybody in my crew, be trying to argue me down
They telling me I changed, and I'm not the same
But for the past three years, I've been saying the same thang
I've done a lot of dirt, but I don't brag about it
And since I don't rap about it, you don't know jack about it
People see me being friendly, and they think they know me
But just cause I shake your hand, don't mean you my homie
I got a personality complex, man I'm so complex
But if you come with plex, this ain't fun plex
I'm walking straight, but my mind's in a maze
The only thing that I'm afraid of, is being afraid
I done stared death in the face, I ain't budge one inch
He here beating up myself, and I still don't flinch
Somebody pinch me, I hope I'm dreaming
I'm searching inside my heart, trying to find the meaning of my life
Y'all don't know shit, about my life
It ain't all about the hoes, gold and ice
I go from down to up, up to down
In a blink of an eye, smiles turn to frowns
Kings get crowned, the rich get rich
Where everybody live, screaming life is a bitch
I ball in the mix, and keep to myself
I don't just wanna be, another book on the shelf
A lot of y'all fakers, faking the game
I'm one of the real niggaz, that's bringing the pain
I've seen hard times, so I spit hard rhymes
I've been around, different people of all kinds
And to this day, I got a few riddle friends
Too many of y'all, that's so fake and pretend
To be what you not, that's why you get got
Don't fuck with my life, that's all that I got
My life-my life-my life-my life, is all I got
Fuck with my life-my life-my life-my life, and you will get dropped
Y'all don't know shit, about my life
Living by the turn of a phrase
Judging by the look on a face
I confuse, always do, and abuse, don't mean to
Then excuse, always do, in the end, I lose
Everything I do hurts someone
My life
Acting on an impulse of pain
Spinning on a perilous plane
With a word I confuse, I hurt and abuse
Worry, then excuse, in the end I lose
Everything I do hurts someone
My life
I bleed the same blood, still I offend
I walk the same path, I lose a friend
Everything I do hurts someone
[Verse 1:]
Yo I'll be the last man standing
my hands cramped, can't see
my family cant stand me cause I grew to be an MC
my girl's sick and tired of not gettin attention
really she thinks I'm fucked doesn't wanna be mentioned
my competition is why I do this
and all my clothes are too big
one exception, my shoes fit
I got my priorities straight but can't figure them out
so i'ma even them out in to equal amounts, yo
it's only seldom my career
forget the past class still an action skill
reachin maximum, my overdrives extensive
runnin off of stress
sick of gettin bills should've gave a false address
my pulse can't rest I'm all a mess
my life is a twist, writin' this shit, enlighten you
clique
recitin' the script, to keep my metal intact
gettin' mad writin' lyrics and my pencil will snap
the formatted flow that functions ferocious
got animated attitude to attempt to approach this
let your flow spit my departures hopeless
and now you know this, no excuse when I flow shit
[Chorus: x2]
This is my li-i-i-i-ife
and I'm doin' what I want (like)
drinkin alcohol 'til I'm drunk (right)
and you ain't go no say in my life
so mind your own business
[Verse 2:]
Yo my whole anatomy got a world of people mad at me
[?] got people chasin after me
my faculty is actually sitting near the back of me
ground squad pound hard think about it, it has to be
and actively we ? work, rap for free
makin' moves and the money, that's strategy
practically you only half of me, I'm last to bleed
and keep it tight like a family, yo but anyway
I'm gonna take this to another level
try to compare and I'll distort your shit like heavy
metal
my mind is temperamental, makin these instrumentals
still essential, but so much potential
innovate, no stencil, drawn with pencil
keep eventful, lettin loose, fuck confidential
this is me and i'ma let it all out with the mic in my
hand
make you jump on command, ah damn
only so much I can take before I break out this weapon
and start lyrically infectin'
then put down my foot on kids who impose
leave you stone cold frozen, now who's open
she takes it deep to her heart
right from the start
she talks softly over a glass of whine
now and again
she is more than a friend
but don't you just throw me a line
say now it would be great
if she'd dedicate
just a minute from her precious time
said i'll give it a while
but thats not my style
now how is that a crime
everyone says that i'm wild
pardon my french but i still know my child
and that wasn't it
i told her i needed some time from her daddy-o
i began walking
while she was still talkin
lookin for an exit sign
pardon my face
but i am leaving no trace
cause i really haven't got the time
well i began thinking
and my heart is just sinking
looking for a place to go
well isn't it bad
how she'll treats you so bad
and u never really let her know
well everyone says that shes cryin
but i can't forget all the tiem i spent tryin
and that wasn't it
i told her i needed some time from her daddy-o
and i know i know
what it feels like to be alone
i say now i know i know
what it feels like to be at home
i say i like i like
stoping to say hello
said its my life my life my life
why can't we take this slow, why can't we take this slow
why can't we take this slow
now i been thro the phases
and i walked thro the mazes
i'm sick and just a little tired
i'm sure it isn't fair
but i'm not aware
of the patience thats required
if i could have kissed her
everytime that i misses her
i wouldn't be out the door
but now and again
i sure need a friend
now isn't that what shes for
everyone says that i'm lyin
but i can't forget all the times she was cryin
and that wasn't it
i told her i need some time from her daddy-o
and i know i know
what it feels like to be alone
i say now i know i know
what it feels like to be at home
i say i like i like
stoping to say hello
said its my life my life my life
why can't we take this slow, why can't we take this slow
baby take this slow
its my life my life
why can't we take this slow
[repeat]
My life,
This is my life,
I can do anything in my life.
My song,
This is my song,
I can play what I like in my song.
Higher and higher,
Your voice takes me higher.
Never, no, never
Take it away from my life,
Take it away from my life,
Take it away from my life.
My world,
You are my world,
I can sing what I like in my world.
My life,
This is my life,
What I just to do,
Is of no concern to you,
And your friends.
Where I lay my hand,
May not be my home.
But I will last,
On my own.
'cause it's me,
And my life.
It's my life. (2x)
Whole the world too sad.
In the palm of my hand,
Not that you see.
And I'm tired and bored,
Of waiting for you,
And all those things,
You never do.
'cause it's me,
And my life.
she takes it deep to her heart
right from the start
she talks softly over a glass of whine
now and again
she is more than a friend
but don't you just throw me a line
say now it would be great
if she'd dedicate
just a minute from her precious time
said i'll give it a while
but thats not my style
now how is that a crime
everyone says that i'm wild
pardon my french but i still know my child
and that wasn't it
i told her i needed some time from her daddy-o
i began walking
while she was still talkin
lookin for an exit sign
pardon my face
but i am leaving no trace
cause i really haven't got the time
well i began thinking
and my heart is just sinking
looking for a place to go
well isn't it bad
how she'll treats you so bad
and u never really let her know
well everyone says that shes cryin
but i can't forget all the tiem i spent tryin
and that wasn't it
i told her i needed some time from her daddy-o
and i know i know
what it feels like to be alone
i say now i know i know
what it feels like to be at home
i say i like i like
stoping to say hello
said its my life my life my life
why can't we take this slow, why can't we take this slow
why can't we take this slow
now i been thro the phases
and i walked thro the mazes
i'm sick and just a little tired
i'm sure it isn't fair
but i'm not aware
of the patience thats required
if i could have kissed her
everytime that i misses her
i wouldn't be out the door
but now and again
i sure need a friend
now isn't that what shes for
everyone says that i'm lyin
but i can't forget all the times she was cryin
and that wasn't it
i told her i need some time from her daddy-o
and i know i know
what it feels like to be alone
i say now i know i know
what it feels like to be at home
i say i like i like
stoping to say hello
said its my life my life my life
why can't we take this slow, why can't we take this slow
baby take this slow

I walk around in my house
Wonderin were on earth i am,
Im in this room and im in that room
But in this room i live my life
My mums started workin' in that cafe in town,
She gets paid qite a lot in month
"but what do i get? I get £10s a month
So My mum can by anything,
but scince i only get £10 a month
i can only buy absolutly nothing for me
It puts me in a mood, so i stamp around the room

Wonderin where on earth i am,
Im in this room and im in that room
But in this room i live my life
When im walkin around in my house

Unlike my friend danial i had a good day
and like my friend james my life is fine
Unfortunatly, my dads so like me

so it came my mind on a very rainy
that maybe it would be good if we swopped places for the day.
I stayed in my room for the rest of the day an the i asked my dad
and can you guess what?
He put me in a mood, so i stamped around the room

But in this room i live my life
When im walkin around in my house
Wonderin where i am,
Im in this room and im in that room
But in this room i ... live ... my ... life
When im walkin around in my house
Wonderin where i am,
Im in this room and im in that room
I was standing downtown, downtown
Staring at the pebbles on the ground
Tryin to figure out a way up out of this town
And I know yeah, I'm not the only one
So many people out there chase the sun
If you're looking for a free ride, you better run chile
Or you sure won't get too far, oh
You'd better dance a dance
To make the rain come down
If you want to be a star, oh my life
My Life
(Brother you know)

The life I wanna live

Evernow and then I
Wanna to throw my hands up in the sky
Cause one day I know I'll be flyin high
And I know yeah I got to get down
On my knees and pray
Cause in heart I know I'll see that day
When my freedom comes along
I'm gonna run chile
Cause I know that I'll go far oh, oh
Can't let nobody kill my soul and bring me down
And they know who they are, oh my life
My Life

[Chorus x1.5: Killah Priest]
My life, though things may seem hard
My life, I know I can depend on God
My life, things might not always go right
My life, but at the end I'll see a bright light
[Killah Priest]
So many types of women, a life that I was livin'
The clubs, the thugs, the nights that I would give in
It didn't feel right in my system but I was with 'em
Trying to fight the feeling but I was just like a victim
Caught up in the rhythm of dough I was spendin'
Drinking down venom, the bacardi and lemon
The bartender grinnin', the party's just beginning
And I was sent into it, it was probably endin'
I mean the stars, the cars, the cards that you charge
To the brauds that you meet at the bar, it's all a mirage
I even ignored my true calling from God
Hid like Jonah in the club with bottles of corona
Surrounded by models and owners, and cronic smokers
The ones that you find in a coma, play the corners
Gun holder sprayed the foreigners
But today I'm no longer, much stronger
Witness my song, 'cause
[Chorus x2: Killah Priest (singer)]
My life, money, girls and material things
In my life, it means alot to a player when he's chasing his dream
My life, it takes alot to turn a player around
My life, especially in the playa moment when he lays on the ground
(In my life)
[Killah Priest]
Taking straight shots of liquor, leave a spot on my liver
Bustin' shots at my niggaz praying cops come quicker
'cause the life I got, somethin' not to live for
My kid's 4' 5", and 12, surviving hell
My nigga Boog died in jail, the rest of my niggaz crying bail
Laying in an iron cell, I tried going to church
But it seems like the Pastor keep molding a verse
Until my mom go in her purse
The Lord knowing I search, I needed therapy
My heart's beating heavily, I'm seeking heavenly
For the rest of me, my man says stay weeded, that's the recipe
Until the cops arrested me
My destiny is to leave a legacy, I don't have much
But if the Lord credit me, you'd see the best of me
I found a new life the day within the Bible page
While the popcorn's in the microwave, I hop on a tidal wave
I'm being stress free, I can do it if you let me
If I'm wrong then correct, or it just could be
Or it just could be
[Chorus x2: Killah Priest (singer)]
My life, money, girls and material things
In my life, it means alot to a player when he's chasing his dream
My life, it takes alot to turn a player around
My life, especially in the playa moment when he lays on the ground
(In my life)
[Killah Priest]
Since this record is nearly over, bring the song to it's closin'
Jahova, lights that novas over life and cultures
I'm seein' nights turn solar, ultra brightens the globe up
I roll up to niggaz with no luck, slow bucks
Spent, hold up, silly cops coppin' doughnuts from bakeries
Shootouts awaken the seeds, D's chasin' the thieves
In projects hoping to receive large checks
For their children, police and the mayor chillin'
While they're the biggest villians of them all
I'm building with the children by the mall
I hear the rumors saying "Priest be on some other shit
Trying to unite the bloods and crips"
To show 'em how to overthrow this government
I start spazzin', talking about the mothership
Throwin' off my publicist and start talking about the Hebrew covenant
While I'm still thuggin' it, I keep it real, that's why they lovin' it
In my life...
[Chorus x2: Killah Priest (singer)]
My life, money, girls and material things
In my life, it means alot to a player when he's chasing his dream
My life, it takes alot to turn a player around
My life, especially in the playa moment when he lays on the ground
Hey Mister Radio can I slide into your daytime
I promise we'll make some classic rock history
I once played a party where some college dudes lived
I guess that means my music can be called alternative
I did not choose the road I had to take
It's the American way I had to make it my own break
CHORUS
This is my life and I'm down to my soul
This is my life, this is my rock and roll
This is my life and I've taken control of me
You had it locked tight but I slipped through the crack
You dug the hole now it's broken your back
Now take a good look at me, look at my face
I am the one that has taken your place
I do not fear the things I feared before
You had control but I wanted it more than you
CHORUS
It's all about me
Hey Mister Radio can I slide into your daytime
I promise we'll make some great ratings history
I just need a break from your relentless routine
You gotta make your own break, don't you know what I mean
I will not follow your format no more
This is the future, let's see what's in store for me
CHORUS
I'm trapped, feel like I'm trapped
I'm trapped, feel like I'm trapped
I'm trapped...
Why don't you love me? Why do you hate me?
Why don't you trust me? Whose gonna save me?
Look in my eyes, this is my life, this is my life, this my life
How can you blame me, for tryna' be wealthy
I came up starving, it wasn't healthy
Daddy was to high, he could'nthelp me
My mama had told me that this life was scary
Stuck in this jail see, feels like it's hell b
No one to call, ain't no money to bail me
Come on and feel me
And take a look in my eyes and try to understand my life, my life
I'm so thirsty, till they murk me
Fuck the world mommy, it don't deserve me
Feel like you cursin' me, lord try to work with me
My enemies creepin', and they plottin' to murder me
Somebody pray for me, it ain't okay homie
I'm at the window with the I'll AK homie
All I can say homie
Is take a look in my eyes cause you could never live my life, my life
Feels like I'm strapped down, the worlds deceiving me
Daddy I rap now but who gon' believe in me
I got crack vials, send those fiends to me
Niggas is rats now, they called the d's on me
I can't back down, so toss the sheet on me
Bring your gat now, if you gon' bleed for me
Watch what you bring to me
And take a look in my eyes, cause niggas tryna' take my life, my life
Where did I go wrong
Tell me what's worse, the feds or my son moms
Baby the loves gone, maybe her hearts torn
Or maybe it's just all the pressure I build on
Lord I'm dead wrong, been locked for too long
It's hard to remain calm, guns in both palms
And if you not strong
Take a look in my eyes, and see if you can learn from my life, my life
Come take a ride with me, a day in the life with me
Pick up my son, and look in his eyes with me
Come through the Stuy with me
See how they eyein' me
Look how I grew up, without a father see
I'll tell you what bothers me, society blindin' me
They said I can be whatever I tried to be
But they lied to me
So take a look in my eyes and tell me what's wrong with my life, my life
My whole life exposed, so my eyes is closed
Mommy it's too late, this is the life I chose
Nigga it's fuck parole, I'm a sell drugs some more
Life is a highway, I'm swerving of the road
Which ever way it goes, ready to lock and load
What I believe in, is what I'm a bleed for
And if you need some more
yeah, MADE, no mob shit,
money additude direction and education,
on some real shit think about my hood one time,

This is a story from my life see I wouldn't want to lie getting on by with my lullaby
And all a my friends getting high mens holler holler hi all the time
But I can't find no man to love me
Sometimes I get up I'm down I feel deadened hurt headed I'm down so I sweat it
Through my day this ain't the way chained to the desk mess hurt wrists phone fits and post-its
I heard it gonna change but see you in it hard to see the final minute when
the world is yours all yours
I'll get it I mean it And in the evenin, I'm alone
Not by the phone but I'm alone yo
Persevere all my fears try to weigh me down look around my ceilin's peelin
rap deal you feelin I ain't now
Do it myself independent gotta try, no lie/ ain't No Limit kid no Majors
gonna fuck me up right
I just want to sing a song about my life, my life
This is a story from my life see I wouldn't want to lie getting on by with my lullaby
And all a my friends getting high mens holler holler hi all the time
But I can't find no man to love me
I'm sweet like nickel candy debutante on the street what in heat
Caught you haulin at me, mind stallin at me
Need you workin for me, need you talkin to me, not something fuckin on me
What
I'm patient like a doctor got the stock of proper genius hottest Venus
On top I'll stop your heart drop your jaw right to your pe-better heed this
Queen of Mt. Olympus can't resist the goddess honest
The kind you never/always take home to your mamas
Accomplish what no other can treat you like no other man
Understand this mad mind body you ain't seen in a woman
My mommy posessed this passed this on/ dad made me strong played me mad songs growin up
Told me I be the one well I want the one/levels deep and heart drum beat
boom beat boom beat
But complex properties of my mind keep em 10 steps behind /takin mad time to find a guy it ain't right
Worthy of my lullaby it ain't right/ try to keep this shit inside it ain't right it ain't right
All night I can drive you wild, the sex the intellect get respect fuck the cheddar/better bet
I'm the next to get mine find mine it's alright but sometimes it hurts my mind
(CHORUS)
Word to God
I'll be the best girl you ever got, I'll keep it so hot
I'll just never stop
I got the plot locked, I got no guns cocked
And if you with me let me hear you say Nana
I'm sure that this is more than you can handle
This example/ coming from a girl placed high up on the mantle
Hold a candle to it, sick of the predicament
Tired of the bull thick headed, need a sedative to get at it, well I invented it.
My case in point I would anoint you my prince
Love you head toe to fingerprints all benefits laugh and count all our kids,
make all our bids
Butterfly kiss with our lids/Let's make it come all to this
Gem at the precipice of the palace/ drink from my chalice
Never be jealous, no malice, I'll be your ballast
When winds blow on I'll stand strong
When winds blow on I'll stand strong.
Chorus -- David Banner
I can hear it in the cold of the night, ya'll niggas wanna take ma life (oh)
I been tryin ta do right, but they still wanna take ma life (oh)
I can hear it in the cold fo the night, ya'll niggas wanna take ma life (oh)
I been tryin ta do right, but they still wanna take ma life (oh)
Verse 1 -- David Banner
I can feel it in the night time
I say the lord gave life, but these niggas wanna take mine
I heard it through the grapevine
They ain't have to feel, they'd rather see me burnin in hell, n thats the truth
They'll set you up got proof, think about the 12 dicipes
What one traitor did to christ, for small cheese
And they'll do it to me, damn and they'll do it to you
It only takes one in your crew
To cock back, black, and take ya life from you
To cock back, black, and take ya life from you
...Damn...
Chorus
Verse 2 -- David Banner
Think about the slave trade, we sold our own juss to get paid
And now adays its tha same thang, let ya braids hang
White folks contributed, to gang bang
Gain, dope slang, gain, mayn But we all some thugs
The same one that you love will kill ya ass for drugs
Come to the funeral with kisses and hugs
For ya mom, ya sister, ya brother and all
And really all they wanted was to see you fall
Bestfriend dead for this nigga can ball
Bestfriend dead so tha streets can ball
...Damn...
Chorus x1
Verse 3 -- Sky
Sometimes I tend to lose my faith
Im askin god to hear ma case
If you could see it through ma eyes
They all wanna see me meet my dimize
I feel alone to lose my mind
Beggin god juss send me a sign
Tryna do the best that I can
Be a man and follow gods plan
I been tryin to do right but niggas wanna take my life
I been tryin to do right and niggas wanna take my life
[Cee-lo green - hook]
This is my motherfucking life (my life, oh yeah)
This is my motherfucking life (my life, oh yeah)
This is my motherfucking life
[Crooked I]
S-l-a u-g-h t-e-r-h-o-u-s-e
Yes we are the best in the biz
The west in the bitch
This eastside money over coochie man
645 when dip through the burbs
I be on my gucci man
Smash on the gas, kick a bitch to the curb
House in the hills, thousands and mills
Getting wild in the field with your spouse in brazil
On ounces and pills, how does it feel?
To count dollar bills that I found off skills
Check it out, jets fly private
Nigga s5 hybrid, baby test drive my whip
I'm in bed stuy with my chick
On my westside fly shit
Pulling out minks when the weather get chilly
Left eye side kick
Now don't you niggas go chasing waterfalls
These bitches wall to wall
And they love...
[Hook x2]
This is my motherfucking life (my life, oh yeah)
This is my motherfucking life (my life, oh yeah)
Jets fly private, nigga s5 hybrid, baby test drive my whip
This is my motherfucking life (my life, oh yeah)
Jets fly private, nigga s5 hybrid, baby test drive my whip
This is my motherfucking life (my life, oh yeah)
This is my motherfucking life
[Joell ortiz]
Sometimes I look around and I just
I just can't believe it
I'm on a high like a falsetto
Maybe that's why I feel like I'm dreaming
My eyes just quit
Look what I'm seeing, my life just shifted
I feel like I'm breathing
Light that spliff, now I don't even smoke cause it burn my throat but tonight I'm steaming
'Tron in my cup, holding mine up, toasting to the slut that I know I'm gon' fuck
In these five star sheets, put her right to sleep
Then kick the bitch out when I wake up
Even though baby girl got a large ol' ass
I remember praying that my car goes last
Now my car so fast that I don't think you'll understand it in a murcielago dash
When you ride through the dirt and you work til it hurt than you end up on marshall's staff
Hoping that your granny get to see you at the grammy's
Get a call from your family that your grandma passed
Then you know what you promised her
So that you stay hot as a, thermometer, dipped in lava
So proud to be part of a conglomerate, like this
[Hook]
[Cee-lo green - bridge]
Every time that they? us
Put your hands up high if you're happy you made it
It's a been a sleep when I say it
[Hook]
[Joe budden]
What a success story
When the film plays it gets less gory
My son didn't know who his pop was for years
Now it's less maury, god put it there as a test for me
Used to walk around with a vest at 40
Cops tryna mess hall me
Now babes with the 44f's adore me
I took the rock and a hard place and made the best orgy
Now the fans approach I get paranoid
Where I'm from tell me never let you're guard rest
But it's simple to disregard stress
Hoes run to the pole and they far fetched
[Royce da 5'9"]
Now jets fly high shit
That panamera porsche that's ryan's fly whip
As a kid I was playing tag, now I'm it!
For those of ya'll that don't remember me
I'm a detroit old parker
Went from no office to offers
I told ya'll I would get my daddy out the post office
And so far I don't really need to own my city
Just as long as the d is on my fitted
My sons and my daughter and my wife is along for the ride
This is the motherfucking life
You will never understand
When I begin to look like me
We can never be described
You, you turn around again
I spoke we can be the same
But I have left my soul out there
Why?
Hey, what is it?
My life just flew past here
Speak, speak and be broken
What, what is the reason?
Mine, mine is the answer
So what is it I've spoken?
So what is it I've lost?
The air is dirt, the ground is worse
Coo Cuckoo Coo Cuckoo Coo Cuckoo Coo Cuckoo
You will never understand
When I begin to look like me
We will always be entwined
It's true
Hey, what is it?
My life just flew past here
I think I've been forgotten
We should lift this tree now
Take it down into my head, take it down into my soul
Take it down into my birth, where it cannot be destroyed
[x2]
Take it down into my head, take it down into my soul
Take it down into my birth, take it down into my head
[x2]
You and I, you and I, you and I
See I done been discriminated against
Talked about by my friends
Played a fool by women
And had a daddy with no feelings
I lived in ghettos with my momma
Used the stove to heat our water
and had to share clothes with my brothers
Three of us one bed one cover oh
And those were the happiest days of my lyfe
If it aint rough it aint right
Street lights are coming on
Better get home, better get home
Those were the happiest days of my lyfe
If it aint rough it aint right
While we're reminiscing Christopher Reeves
you're still Superman to me
See I done been mistreated and discouraged
felt like I was worthless
Lonely scared and nervous
In a world without no purpose
Cried out to God I didn't deserve this
But he said in time I would
See it's the bad times that make the good times feel so good
Yo I done changed dirty diapers
Cooked food with lighters
Shot so much game chicks nicknamed me sniper
Famous ghostwriter
Bank account retired
too many zeros
poppy still illegal
Chain look like nickels mixed with icicles
Stretching from the neck area to the genitals
I got a parrot on my shoulder that talk for me
And he don't say shit but nigga back off of me
Yea I'm a hood nigga
But I'm still a good nigga
Bought a couple kids new bikes, Just cause I could nigga
And I aint one who be lookin for thanks
Nothing comes easy
Gotta go hard believe me
Gotta risk it all
Gotta roll the dice
If you want a taste of my life
My life my life
My life my life
My life my life
My life my life
My life my life
My life my life
If you want a taste of my life
Yeah they wanna taste that rapper life
But the road to fame usually spoils the appetite
I fly our flag for our football team
And the place where I belong, where I got my home
We got our four seasons, we got our way of life
It's the way I want to live, until the day I die - Until the day I die
[Chorus 2x:]
I have a lot of memories of places where I have been
But I can't remember that anything is like home
Great islands and skerries, mighty forests and fields
Drinking beer in the summer nights and looking at the views
It's a part of my life, it's a part of my heart
You can't deprive this feeling without killing me - Without killing me
Sometimes I feel like I want to quit
No one will notice if
I forfeit my soul blow myself with a clip
That’s my father did no gun, a noose and he hung
My mom found him in the basement there as he swung
At 5 years old what does that do to a kid
Produced a maniac anthrax type of a kid
I hear an ambulance, sirens I’m told to be silent
I’m blind trying to find why my house is a riot
Got to go can’t take it, Uncle Dave’s face is changing
I race to find my father in the bottom of the basement
My mothers covered in tears her face filling with fear
Bang’s on the floor shout’s to God why am I are hear
Scared to even ask, where my dad is at the time
I guess for now it’s just a memory
Mom where’s dad, where is he mom, where’s dad
Chorus
This is my life my world
My nightmare stuck here won’t turn
Is there a light that can shine on me?
Dear God I pray you hear homie This is Chris your son praying feeling so lonely
My life my world
My nightmare stuck here won’t turn
Can you relate to me? Probably not
You still hate ya father, wanna to kill ya mom
Got a dad attacking in the night at around 1:00
Feet are like drums coming to you, ya can’t run
Struggle with the thoughts, am I normal or not
Abused all my life even when I called out to God
What the flip, it’s a shame what happens in the dark
Invisible to people all they seeing is the scars
Hold on yo, use gonna make it
Your spirit can’t be broken, soul not taken
Praying in the power of the tongue for my friends
New Testament Jesus Christ let him in
Ya brains still confused what am I suppose to do
When ya folks choke, tie vocal ropes around you
Walls fall down surround you forget living I’ll never fitting
God’s love is real no matter what you’ve ever been in
Chorus
My life my world
My nightmare stuck here won’t turn
Is there a light that can shine bright won’t burn?
Afterlife when I see Christ Soul journ
Bridge
This is my life lord can ye shine on me
Can anybody hear me?
Lord can you save me?
Have you ever felt like you wanna die?
End in the night, say good bye like a Lola bye
And just close ya eyes
Those lies almost killed me,
Feeling filthy, no ability to move
Commit suicide I won’t be guilty
There’s no perfect life, it’s all media hype,
The TV screen’s feeding ya right
I’ve seen both sides of it by now, I would a bowed down
A new sound the lost can be found
You’re in some real dirt, ya life kind a sucks
Ya might adjust, but you’d rather die in the dust
I’ve had enough I look to him, and in God I trust
What I choose to do is of no concern to you and your friends
Where I lay my hat may not be my home, but I will last on my own
'Cause it's me, and my life
it's my life
Oh the world has sat in the palm of your hand not that you'd see
and I'm tired and bored of waiting for you and all those things you never do
'Cause it's me, and my life
My life
My block, my spot, my stop stay hot
My truck, stay dropped, my weight stay glocked
My city, my hoes, my friends, my foes
Everybody knows, keep it real or get John Doe'd
My hair stay nappy, stay bush, stay twist
My attitude is shitty, my hands stay fist
My house stay searched, my cars stay getting stopped
Haters they hate, they wanna see me in a box
But my bulletproof vests, they protecting my chest
Life ain't nothing but a test, it's a big ol' mess
My money stay getting bigger, even when I'm in jail
My name C lil' daddy, that mean you better chill
My life, my life, my life
My life ain't right, so I'ma fight all night
My life, my life, my life
This be the truest shit I ever said, feel me
My life, my life, my life
My life ain't right, so I'ma fight all night
My life, my life, my life
This be the truest shit I ever said, feel me
My dog, my ace, boy wanna take my place
My nigga turned sour, when I went upstate
Use to be my homie, till I caught this case
Now I wanna slap the taste, I can't wait
My stash, my connect, my ends, my Benz
My God, please forgive me for all my sins
My hood, my crew, we do what G's do
Best believe I'ma ride for TRU, that's my crew
Started small time, dope game dope mayn cocaine
This is not a joke, mayn, this my flow, mayn
This be the truest shit I ever said
This my life, behind this I might wind up dead
My life, my life, my life
My life ain't right, so I'ma fight all night
My life, my life, my life
This be the truest shit I ever said, feel me
My life, my life, my life
My life ain't right, so I'ma fight all night
My life, my life, my life
My moves stay calculated, my eyes is wide open
I'm scoping while these niggaz hoping, I'm slipping while they scoping
The streets is treacherous, elements is trying to test us
We take pills make it easy to respect us
Project buildings drug sellers and bank tellers
I'm getting letters from all these hunts and golder fellas
My mission is simple, my music shine even when I'm gone
My life, my debt, my last breath every day along
My life, my life, my life
My life ain't the same, it shows
My life, my life, my life
They got me knocking on heaven's do's
My life, my life, my life
This be, the truest shit I ever said
My life, my life, my life
A nigga might wind up dead
My life, my struggle, my pain
I make moves, the way I make moves
Choose it's real street shit
No love, no love at all
Huh 2005
Stay alive, don't die, that's how we ride
You can't home me
You can't home me
Father says he is the only one
And even if he is the only one
I find him so confusing still today
Mother says she is the only one
And even if she is the only one
She was the one I needed her today
She was the one I needed her today
You know I never tried to hurt you
I never tried you know I really never tried
Somehow I find I really need you
I'll never, ever, ever leave you
You never ever will believe me
Chorus:
Even if you walked across the skies
I'll be with you tonight
Even if you told a thousand lies
I'd still believe you
All alone along the sea I dream of you
You know I need you here with me
The emptiness inside my heart
Your an angel well within my
Your and angel weel within my sight
Sister says she was the only one
And even if she was the only one
My life was just completed yesterday
Darling say that you're the only one
And if you say that you're the only one
My life was just completed here today
My life was just completed here today
I find him so confusing still today
Mother says she is the only one
And even if she is the only one
She was the one I needed her today
She was the one I needed her today
You know I never tried to hurt you
I never tried you know I really never tried
Somehow I find I really need you
I'll never, ever, ever leave you
You never ever will believe me
Chorus:
Even if you walked across the skies
I'll be with you tonight
Even if you told a thousand lies
I'd still believe you
All alone along the sea I dream of you
You know I need you here with me
The emptiness inside my heart
Your an angel well within my
it's so violent
when you are silent
i'm so easily frightened
i can smell the changing
stinks of something rotting
not so pretty now my dear
my life
more than it ever was
my life
i live it just because
no day is safe with you around
i'm scared but more scared of myself are you within
am i without
you keep changing all the rules
and i always seem to lose
nothing is certain anymore
my life
more than it ever was
my life
i love it just because
leave me!
my life
more than it ever was
my life
Wanna go with me?
Do I have to wear
A shirt and tie?
We can take a limousine
But everybody there will
Ask us why!
Ain't nothin' wrong
We can have
A little fun and play
As long as we never forget
How to stop and pray!
If you've been set
On partying 'til your head is numb
Betta not forget
That the party is when the
Kingdom comes!
Come on and dance
All your troubles away
And look thru the
Windows of heaven
It's not too late
My life
Yeah
It's your life
Yeah
Don't want to get it wrong
It's time to get it right
My life
Yeah
It's your life
Yeah
Need to make a change
Time for saving
My life
I was a mess
But that was all before
I told Him yes!
Now it's all good
'Cause everyone in His will
Is blessed!
Just let Him take
All your troubles away
Look thru the
Windows of heaven
It's not too late
Don't wanna wait too long
[Verse 1]
I'ma take you back to day one, livin in this New York slum
It's deaf to the dumb, only break bread with some
Moms left at 15, had no American dreams
To this day, I'm sellin to my cousin who's a fiend
No one would got me but my older brother
Little did we know the dirt we did fell back on my mother
But didn't care back then, that's why she left like that
Now my parents became the street, and it's best like that
[Verse 2]
Some nights I pray to God and ask him to pull my cord
Cuz times is hard like the opposite street'll leave you scarred
Street wise with no respect for authority and shit
A chronic hustler of crack, a typical bitch
Raised by madu who strung out on a glass dick
But every now and then I blessed her with a hit
So she don't have to trick
It's prevalent amongst kids today
Hustle krills, stack dough, and everything's okay
HOOK
It's the emancipation proclamation under the self devised guidelines
of self preservation and starvation (I gotta live)
It's the emancipation proclamation under the self devised guidelines
of self preservation and starvation (and I gotta live)
[Verse 3]
My life in this world wasn't about diamonds and pearls
It was rough growin up around the boys and girls
After daddy left, shit was a mess, momma stressed
But I give her an award, cuz damn she tried her best
Holdin down the household, barely had money to fold
Christmas time, cherished our little shit like gold
I can't front, daddy was still there for me, cared for me
But him and mommy breakin up was like a nightmare to me
[Verse 4]
Yo this is for the younger fathers and mothers, sisters and brothers
Success is nothin if it aint if it was with the others
We gotta make the best out of this terrible situation
If not for us, for the younger generation
We gotta break the chain, and deal with the pain
For all our people that was slayed in vain (revenge)
For all our peoples that was falsely framed (revenge)
For all our peoples that's livin the name
HOOK
[Verse 5]
Let me show, I gotta love L.O.D., they put me under the wing
And then I teamed up with the most beautiful thing
In the world, cuz L.O.D. we all we got
I'm a fans and my mans keep it like it or not
I know it hurts, havin to do everyday dirt
Police all over my back, feel like bustin them jerks
When I'm my road to the riches, I stay away from snitches
And them bitches, and keep my mind on business
[Verse 6]
Life was tough so I became aggressive like a pit
The only time I felt relaxed was when the blunt was lit
Thinkin me and my team can be tight like the gambino
Muscle in the hustle scene respected like Leno
It gets deeper than the words of Proverbs
New thoughts emerge, as I cop the squat on the curb
Thinkin the herb strengthen my brain like spinach
And heavy shine, flooded with ice might reduce my self spirts
[Verse 7]
Stick em, my life is so real it hurts
Like when I saw my pops bein driven off in a hearse
Like when I saw my mother bein driven off in a hearse
Like you school when the roach crawl out my shirt
Like on Thanksgiving when we got free food from the church
Back then it was DJ Red Alert and Kool Herc
Rockin been stripe knees and latigra shirts
Back then L.O.D. was puttin in work
From the cradle to the grave
We all in the struggle, we gon struggle, we gon strive to stay alive
All my real people know what I'm talkin about
Watch each other backs
A beautiful lie was killing me
I can't believe I'm sober, I can't believe I'm clean
It's been a while since I felt this close to home
I know the fight's not over but I don't have to fight alone
And I've got to let You know, I just have to let You know
You made me feel like I belong, You gave me the strength to carry on
And I feel so alive since that part of me died
I couldn't make it on my own but with You there's nothing I can't do
Until the day I die I thank You for my life
This feeling's so hard to explain
I know that I said thank You but there's more I want to say
Like I'm sorry for the time's I lied to You
And all those nights You worry, the pain I put You through
And I've got to let You know, I just have to let You know
You made me feel like I belong, You gave me the strength to carry on
And I feel so alive since that part of me died
I couldn't make it on my own but with You there's nothing I can't do
Until the day I die I thank You for my life
If I could change the mistakes I've made, turn back the hands of time
And erase all the nights I heard You, the tear I made You cry
You made me feel like I belong, You gave me the strength to carry on
And I feel so alive since that part of me died
I couldn't make it on my own but with You there's nothing I can't do
My love
My life
My band
My wife
I get lost
I get used
Take the praise
And abuse
Am I the hero in my own daydream?
Am I the villain, are things as they seem?
Am I the villain in my own daydream?
Am I the hero, are things as they seem?
repeat everything above once
My love
My life
My band
My wife
I get lost
I get used
Take the praise
And abuse
My band
My life
My love
My wife
I get lost
I get used
Take the praise
And abuse
My love
My life
My band
My wife
I get lost
I get used
Take the praise
[Verse]
Baby
Look in to my eyes
Baby
I'm talkin' from my heart
I've been trying so long
Wasting time
There's so much that I want to do
There's so much that I got to do
[Chorus]
My life
It's gonna mean somethin'
My life
It's gonna be that way
This time (this time)
It's gonna be different
My life
It's gonna start today
[Verse]
Baby
I know what I'm doin'
Baby
It's gonna take some time
There's a part of me
No one sees
I know what I got to be
And nobody knows it like me
[Chorus]
My life
Is gonna mean somethin'
My life
It's gotta be that way
This time (this time)
It's gonna be different
My life
It's gotta start today
[Solo]
My life
Is gonna mean somethin'
My life
It's gotta be that way
This time (this time)
It's gonna be different
My life
It's gotta start today
My life (my life)
Is gonna mean somethin'
My life
It's got to be that way
This time (this time)
It's gonna be different
I'm plagued by what I'm supposed to be
Your life, your goals
That's not what's best for me
You've shown me your dreams of who I am
Well this is my life
In the palm of my hand
I'll take advantadge
Day by day
Embrace tomorrow
Forget yesterday
These second chances make things right
I find myself in question again
And I doubt this Love you've given to me
I hope you understand when I say
I need this time to myself
You speak your mind to me again
You force your words so deep within
You try to tell me how to live
But it's my life
I know your open arms too well
Cause I’ve lost myself there many times before
I need to slowly fall away
Far from the grip you have on me
You speak your mind to me again
You force your words so deep within
You try to tell me how to live
But it's my life
I find these words were never true
I've lost all my respect for you
I need to find my own way
It's my life
gotta get away
One step away
I gotta get away
Just one step away
I gotta away you're pushing me away
I gotta get away
Well I'm gone
If you looked in my life
And see what I've seen...
If you looked in my life
And see what I've seen...
If you looked in my life
And see what I've seen...
If you looked in my life
And see what I've seen...
Life can be only what you make it
When you're feelin down
You should never fake it
Say what's on your mind
And you'll find in time
That all the negative energy
It would all cease
And you'll be at peace with yourself
You won't really need no one else
Except for the man up above
Because He'll give you love
If you looked in my life
And see what I've seen...
If you looked in my life
And see what I've seen...
If you looked in my life
And see what I've seen...
If you looked in my life
And see what I've seen...
Take your time
Baby don't you rush a thing
Don't you know, I know
We all are struggling
I know it is hard
But we will get by
And if you don't believe in me
Just believe in "He"
Cause He'll give you peace of mind
Yes He will
And you'll see the sunshine
For real, yes you would
And you'll get to free your mind
And things will turn out fine
Oh, I know that things will turn out fine
Yes they would, yes they would
If you looked in my life
And see what I've seen...
If you looked in my life
And see what I've seen...
If you looked in my life
And see what I've seen...
If you looked in my life
And see what I've seen...
All you gotta do is take your time,
One day at a time
It's all on you
what you gonna do?
Oh you will see I'm so down and out
Cryin' every day
*Intro*
Eyyy.like me

Don't nobody really know my struggle
But they wanna be, where I'm at
Well go through the pain, nigga
'cause only the Good Lord know
Yup.
Chorus:
I think they wanna ride like me, (like me)
Have a bitch on the passenger-side like me, (like me)
Yeah I think they wanna shine like me, (like me)
On t.v. with the fame like me, (like me)
Yeah they wanna wear a chain like me, (like me)
I think they Wanna be trained like me, (like me)
Yeah they wanna have the game like me, (like me)
But don't wanna go through pain like me, (like me)
*Intro*
Come on mayn
Come on
Let me explain something to y'all man
Verse 1:
I know you see me shining
With the yellow diamond
Don't think ya boy ain't been grinding
I was with my momma
And there was alotta drama
We sold crack from the winter all through the summer
Yeah we went through pain
We was stacking change
Paying the cost to live in the streets mayn
Sold cocain just a little powder
Sellin weed tryna make a couple of extra dollars
The shit i been through a nigga should've been a scholar
All night tryna sleep hearing pistols hollar, (damn)
Now when "?" died
You know a nigga cried
Not having him around
You know it hurt inside
Gotta have shelter over my lil sister
Momma wondering around 'cause she a drugdealer
I gotta give it to her 'cause she a real nigga
I kill any mofocker doing something to her
Yup...
Chorus:
Verse 2:
They wanna be on stage, (right)
They wanna get paid, (oooh)
But they don't know the hurt, (hurt)
And they can't feel my pain, (oooh)
On stage gettin hit with a bottle
Knocked out and I need to know if I'mma rap tommorow, (A!)
In the hospital straight bruized up
Got a cut from my lip and my thumbs up, (damn)
It's kind of f**ked up, (?)
'cause I waz showin love, (love)
I was givin' hugs, (hugs)
Chillin' with the thugs, (oooh)
Al I'm tryna do is show love to everybody
God let me alive so I can (tell about it/ televise it), (amen)
See I don't scream and shout it, but I go to church
What ya know about puttin in that "?" (brown work)
They throwin' up signs and they dyin' for it, (I'm crip and a blood)
Niggaz taking lives goin' to jail payin' for it
Ain't nothing left after death but heaven itself
And if ya go to jail your seed will have no help
Won't somebody tell me
Just what's going on
Won't somebody hear me
I can't do right for wrong
Won't somebody help me
I feel I've come undone
There's something going wrong
In my life
My life
She ripping out the heart
Tearing me apart
My life
Can anybody hold me
Make everything alright
Can anybody show me
How to numb the pain inside
Get me through the night
Baby's turned the tide
Of my life
My life
She's ripping out the heart,
Tearing me apart
Pulling out the plug
I'm scarred from where she's cut
My life
(She stole my soul
She cuts me up)
Tearing up the pages
That I'm from
Breaking up the ground
I walk upon
Making my religion
And she can't begin to understand
She cannot see
[Z-Ro:]
Who is my friend who is my foe, I just can't tell no mo'
Cause seem like everywhere I go, somebody got a problem with Ro
It might be somebody from the past, or somebody I don't know
Bottom line I ain't never fucked with nobody, why y'all fucking with me fo'
It's a trip, to see how all these people scream my name
Cause I could remember whole lot of em, that said I'd never make it in the rap game
Look at me now though, I got cars and cash
And since I'm able to say fuck regular weed, I get hydro by the bag
I'm the same nigga white tennis shoes, blue jeans and a white t-shirt
24/7 all day and night, around the clock that's how we work
I could give a fuck, about these niggaz wanting beef
They been muted by my paper chase, interrupt me you might come up deceased
Bitch I'm a product, of the streets
Plus I'm an animal that seem raw and untamed, and J. Prince got me off the leash
I'm a motherfucking beast, when it come down to my bread
Hey red you pull the cover back, it's time to lay in your bed
[Hook:]
In my life, don't nobody wanna see me win
In my life, they'd rather see me disgusted with no ends
In my life, everyday another friend turn to a foe
That's why my motto is fuck friends, hand me my do'
In my life, I still struggle to make ends meet
It ain't gravy just cause you see me on TV, I'm almost back on the streets
In my life, bitch I done seen and heard it all
So I'm one deep till my casket, I ain't fucking with y'all
[Z-Ro:]
I use to ride or die for you, like you was my gal or something
Simply cause you gave a damn about me, when I had nothing
When all the homies use to laugh at me, because I was broke
You would make a plate for me, and we might sip a six or a fo'
And even though you had a nigga, you said I could spend the night
But out of respect for both of y'all, I chose to kick it under the street light
Hell yeah I was attracted to ya baby, and you know that
I still feel like we look good, together on a Kodak
But a lot of bullshit, been floating round in the air
I 'sposed to said some disrespectful shit, now you hate a playa
And to that skinny bitch with the rigid gold, you need to shut the hell up
Tal'n bout I made you suck my dick for a ride, yeah I made your throat swell up
But tell it, how it really went down
Cause we was coming from the studio, and you leaned over from the passenger side
Yeah you was trying to get me, to let you spend the night
But since I turned you down, you throwing mo' salt in my life
[Hook]
[Z-Ro:]
Life is hard but it's fair, and even though it might rain
I got my galoshes plus my umbrella, ain't no stopping me mayn
Whenever seen my way I'ma deal with it, then send it right back
I been the underdog all my life, that's why I bark like that
And fuck a friend nigga, y'all wasn't trying to kick it when I didn't have no ends nigga
Y'all must think, I'm a fool
Prolly just wanna flip in my whip, and have me pay for the weed
But I'll be damned if I blow my hard earned money, on anyone else but me
I came to this bitch one deep, and that's how I'm gon go
And the way I see it I owe nobody nothing, ain't nobody gon get no do'
Z-Ro King of the Ghetto, and the Mo City Don
Everybody around me is strapped, that's why you never see me with a gun
I get my funds, cause it's the time of the month to pay bills
I ain't rich, ain't no difference between me and the people across the street for real
Homie, I'm just trying to pay bills
I ain't rich, ain't no difference between me and the people across the street for real
Hmm hmmmm
Yeeeah yeaah aaah
No no no, no no,
No no noooh
No no no no noo yeah yeh
Every time I stop and make a look back as I reflect on my life, my life
Every time I stop and make a look back at the struggles in my life, my life
In my life I've seen many things
In my life I've seen paupers turn to kings
Some people come and go
Yet their memories never fade
Not everybody knows, that the good things that you do, will be remembered for
Remembered for
I've seen it all
The rising and the falling of many kings
And the bird that tries to fly away with broken wings
Yeah yeah
I've seen it all
And wicked people stand aside and do their thing
I pray to Jah, meditate and strum my guitar strings
Woo ooh woow yeaah
Every time I stop and make a look back as I reflect on my life, my life
Every time I stop and make a look back at the struggles in my life
Some live inna glass house and still dem a mass out
Some have it all watching us fall still dem a floss out
I've seen it all, the rising and the falling, many kings yeah
Bird that tries to fly away with broken wings
Seen it all
I've seen it all
I've seen it all
While the wicked people stand aside and do their thing
Pray to Jah and meditate and strum back my guitar strings
Oh na na na nooo naah
Na na na nooo, na na na nooo
Na na na nooo yeaah
Na na na wooie
Na na na naae
Oh yeaah
My life, I've seen many things
My life, I've seen paupers turn to kings
Some people come and go yet their memories never fade
Not every body knows that the good you do, you'll be remembered for
Remembered for
Remembered for yeah
Remembered for
Ohhhh ohh
Remembered for
In my life
Oh in my life
Now's the time
to lay it on the line, boy
you better believe it
You had your chance
to break it down and dance
but you blew it
by trying to tell me how to
run my life
Look at me
just sit down and think it over
can't you see
that I wasn't born yesterday
working girl
in a world full of confusion
far too cool
to be taken for a fool
This is my life
and I'm livin' like I'm walkin'
crazy high life
so you better learn how to play
doin' that fast life
got you going 'round in circles
this is my life
and I'm calling all the shots this time
Boys like you
I know the way you do
waiting something for nothing
all talk, no work
go ahead and do the jerk
'cause you blew it
you'll never hold me with your gangster love
Look at me
it should be so elementary
can't you see
you know that I'm no stranger to the street
mama said
in a world full of confusion
take control
See I done been discriminated against
Talked about by my friends
Played a fool by women
And had a daddy with no feelings
I lived in ghettos with my momma
Used the stove to heat our water
and had to share clothes with my brothers
Three of us one bed one cover oh
And those were the happiest days of my lyfe
If it aint rough it aint right
Street lights are coming on
Better get home, better get home
Those were the happiest days of my lyfe
If it aint rough it aint right
While we're reminiscing Christopher Reeves
you're still Superman to me
See I done been mistreated and discouraged
felt like I was worthless
Lonely scared and nervous
In a world without no purpose
Cried out to God I didn't deserve this
But he said in time I would
See it's the bad times that make the good times feel so good
Yo I done changed dirty diapers
Cooked food with lighters
Shot so much game chicks nicknamed me sniper
Famous ghostwriter
Bank account retired
too many zeros
poppy still illegal
Chain look like nickels mixed with icicles
Stretching from the neck area to the genitals
I got a parrot on my shoulder that talk for me
And he don't say shit but nigga back off of me
Yea I'm a hood nigga
But I'm still a good nigga
Bought a couple kids new bikes, Just cause I could nigga
And I aint one who be lookin for thanks
what you think doesn't f@!#$ matter to me
i like my life, run by me how it's gonna be
i might decide to change my ways of i might decide to ruin your day
ok, i figured it out, 2 people and 1 chair that's what this life is all about
your life is just a single day, wake up & go to work, your death your escape
my life, it's all i have, it's something we share, & we die
wondering if and why, no i don't care
what you think you saw, you didn't see, & what you wanna be, you're never gonna be
my life is not gonna be that way, when i die I'll smile, cause i did it my way
take a run here's your chance come and get me, I've been beaten
but you'll never beat me, had your chance now it's gone, and it's up to me
i understand you, do you understand me?
understand one damn thing, it's my life, my way, my life, it's all i have
its something we share, wondering if and why no i don't care
Psalm 6:2-9
[Be merciful to me, Lord , for I am faint;
O Lord , heal me, for my bones are in agony.
My soul is in anguish.
How long, O Lord , how long?
Turn, O Lord , and deliver me;
save me because of your unfailing love.
No one remembers you when he is dead.
Who praises you from the grave?
I am worn out from groaning;
all night long I flood my bed with weeping
and drench my couch with tears.
My eyes grow weak with sorrow;
they fail because of all my foes.
Away from me, all you who do evil,
for the Lord has heard my weeping.
The Lord has heard my cry for mercy;
the Lord accepts my prayer.]
My life have I watched being sucked down the drain,
producing black fruit, filled with much pain,
no hope for the future, no joy in the past,
my only prayer is that death will come fast.
death will come fast (repeat)
My minds running wild as I look to the sky,
the pain in my heart makes me question why?
My hands they are trembling as I fall to my kness,
It's the spirit of God, dear Lord please save me!
(Hook)
my life moves at the speed of the light
my life, I'm in the fight of my life for all of my
life
my life is in the limelight, my life here is finite
so gather round tonight and take a look at my life
verse 1:
I live the high life with lowlifes who want life to go
right/
they blow like amateurs while I'm a professional who's
pro-life/
in rap olympics Moabites hold records against physics/
and make my words a guillotine so that heads can roll
with it/
no limit to the breath that i breathe and this life
that i lead/
might just touch enough minds with rhymes, develop
thousand lifetimes/
bring sentences to life while you serve this life
sentence/
just a slave to every hour, counting seconds by the
minute/
me, I start where many finish, and my life to me is
endless/
trip towards the infinite coz life to me's a
pilgrimage/
skywalk like phantom menace, against all odds like
Jeff Bridges/
to live life first 'til second coming, hype verses/
verse words written down, world wishin' I might curse/
but my heart beats to the stroke of my pen and I'd die
first/
flirt with disaster and transfer life lessons on wax /
and make a soundtrack for life with every track/
hook:
my life moves at the speed of the light
my life, I'm in the fight of my life for all of my
life
my life is in the limelight, my life here is finite
so gather round tonight and take a look at my life
my life moves at the speed of the light
my life, I'm in the fight of my life for all of my
life
no money, broke life, breain' life down to a science
(my life might be a tragedy, my life will be a
triumph)
verse 2:
I got my mind on my money and my money in the next
man's bank account/
[Chorus]
I've got something to tell you
I believe you, I believe you
I've got something to tell you
I believe you really ought to know
[Hook]
This is my life [X4]
(Think about it echoeing in background)
[Verse 1 - 1Ton]
It started when my pops moved away from Africa
When to college in America, and met my mom in Canada
Interracial couple, no one would date 'em double
That's about the time my momma's stomach grew a bubble
I was still inside, I wasn't black, I wasn't white
But to the world I was still a nigga, just a little light
No time for ignorance, I just gotta live my life
Treat everybody with respect and hope that they can get it right
'Cause when I was a youth, my parents moved to California
Said that I would understand it more when I became older
The south was segregated, the East was way behind
It's not the color of your skin, but what's inside your mind
The motto that I kept in every house a nigga slept
On every block that I roamed, on every spot I called home
I went to Jr. High with all the Asians and the Blacks
Learned to give respect and expect to get it back
Every time I meet a different race I try to learn somethin'
In the Barrio, eat burritos like it's nothin'
Keep an open mind, got a lot left to do
Learned to surf from a nigga, learned to rap from a Jew
Gotta spread knowledge every time I'm on stage
This is the book of life, every day's another page
So when my time is up and I fall over dead
I hope I was successful like im gettin in your head.--~~~~PILLZBARRY
[Hook]
This is my life [X4]
(Think about it echoeing in background)
[Chorus]
I've got something to tell you
I believe you, I believe you
I've got something to tell you
I believe you really ought to know
[Verse 2 - Underrated]
They wanna keep us divided so that we're easy to control
Color this, color that, there ain't no color in my soul
I don't separate, nope, I definitely don't discriminate
Fuck David Koresh, and fuck the KKK
'Cause my parents were hippies, teach me peace and love
Taught me all people were equal, don't be mean to no one
So I took the information, and when I watched when I was young
I lot of kids in my classes acted racist and dumb
Only a handful of black kids that went to my school
I overheard them being called the n-word by the cool
And when my back's turned, I'm a money hungry Jew
I didn't blame 'em, they just had an ignorant point of view
I'm lucky I got white friends, Puerto Ricans, and Indians
And do business on a mission with a black dude and Mexican
No questions; treat each other like a family is how we livin'
So when I rap, understand I wanna reach the children
We gotta open up our mind like Cheech & Chong
In a world full of Jimmy the Greek's and Rush Limbaugh's
They're tellin' lies and they love to generalize
I believe don't believe in nothin' unless you've seen it with your own eyes
[Hook]
This is my life [X8]
(Think about it echoeing in background)
[Chorus X2]
I've got something to tell you
I believe you, I believe you
I've got something to tell you
[Chorus:]
This is my lot, this is my way
won´t follow no one´s rules but mine
I was never meant to be a saint
Leave me alone - THIS IS MY LIFE
... and not yours to live
I´m a punk since I was fifteen
I´ve been to places that you´ve never seen
Played in a band, going anywhere
And growing up always seemed so far away...
Don´t tell me now I´ve missed the race
I´d swap no big job for these days...
[Chorus:]
This is my lot, this is my way
I´m just the one I chose to be
It´s none of your business, stay away!
Leave me alone - THIS IS MY LIFE
I know well I´m no teen anymore
But still know what I am living for!
Sex and drugs, fun and Rock´n´Roll
and a cause in a rebel state of mind
Don´t tell me I´ve messed up my life
I´ll have no regrets in my grave...
Don´t tell me how my life has to be
the soul
inside
you can't
erase
out loud
i'll claim
my place
in space
solitude can be a warm embrace
in the minus degrees called the human race
some people have a tendency
to abuse and distract and annoy me
i never cease to be amazed by the stupidity
that people insist on dumping on me
don't like to be dressed up in feathers and tar
i'll say, life looks better from far away
leave my life alone
let me live my life
live it the way i like
leave my life alone
i will never be what you want me to be
i will never do what you want me to do
i will never say what you'd like me to say
your game i'll never play i'll go my way
i'll challenge the world to a game of minding one's own
business
so consider your hobby to harras me unprovoked hereby
revoked
forever
my moon
my sun
my time
will come
some day
i'll say
my life
Hey hey, fuck you and all the bitches made
Once again, I fit it in and fuck it up again
And you think what? A motherfucker abusing rake
In the face of hate I stay in shape, I push it to an escapade
There goes my life and now it seems
That I'm drowning
Respect, isn't something you get for free from me
A generation left me floating independently
Now keep gain to what the industry showed me
The masterminds, they trusted you freely, today
There goes my life and now it seems
That I'm drowning
This is my life and now it seems
That I'm drowning
There goes my life and now it seems
That I'm drowning
This is my life and now my dreams
I'd gladly lose my life for you
I'd gladly lose my life for you
If anything in your life is worth living for; trust one day you die for it
Something makes you smile so much; trust me one day you cry for it (oh)
And you can love someone without trusting them (believe)
Paranoid, but true to me
There ain't nothing she wouldn't do for me (nothing)
I'd gladly lose my life for you
I will save you baby
I'd gladly lose my life for you
I will save you baby
I'd gladly lose my life for you
If you weren't here I'd die, you are my life
When i'm not with you it feels like I'm not breathing, what I'm needing
If there was one thing that I lose
I'd gladly lose my life for you
I hope it never gets to that cause,
It won't be a song that could get me back
I love the mentality, ride or die but I'd prefer if you stayed inside
The road's ain't safe for you, haterz can't get me, they get to you
So they can't know how your face looks,
so the first thing you don't own is a facebook
Sacrifices have to be made; as long as I'm in the game -
I ain't trying to hide you away
I'm just trying to make a payslip with music, the flirtings work related
And you can love someone without trusting them (believe)
Paranoid but true to me
There ain't nothing she wouldn't do for me (nothing)
I'd gladly lose my life for you
I will save you baby
I'd gladly lose my life for you
I will save you baby
I'd gladly lose my life for you
If you weren't here I'd die, you are my life
When I'm not with you it feels like I'm not breathing, what I'm needing
If there was one thing that I lose
I'd gladly lose my life for you
If you are down for me, I'd be down for you
Make time for me, I'll make time for you
And don't lie to me and I won't lie to you
You can call it a bond, it's more than a song
It's more than sex, we can chill when it on
I'm just keeping it cool
But I never make promises to you, promises come from a fool
I'll just give you my word
Cuz that's all that, I got, this feelings more than a lot
The money, the fame, my name, the game
If you disappear then everything stops, but still
You can love someone without trusting them, but you still put trust in me
There ain't nothing she wouldn't do for me (nothing)
I'd gladly lose my life for you
I will save you baby
I'd gladly lose my life for you
I will save you baby
I'd gladly lose my life for you
If you weren't here I'd die, you are my life
When I'm not with you, it feels like I'm not breathing, what I'm needing
If there is one thing that I'd lose
[Verse:]
Where do we go from here in Your presence?
How do we continue to live our lives the same?
How do we try to explain this experience
that we had right here,
right here in Your presence?
All I can say is my life will never be the same.
My life will never be the same.
My life, it'll never be the same.
[Chorus:]
My life will never be the same.
My life will never be the same.
My life will never be the same
in Your presence.
My life will never be the same.
My life will never be the same.
My life will never be the same,
never be the same,
never be the same,
never be the same.
My life will never be the same.
My life will never be the same.
My life will never be the same,
never be the same,
never be the same,
never be the same.
Never be the same.
never be the same.
never be the same.
My life will never be the same.
My life will never be the same.
My life will never be the same.
[Ending:]
The same.
When I go on airplanes
I listen to your voice
And when I go to sleep at night
I'm wishing for a choice
To go back in time
Make what's wrong feel right
To go back in time
Make what's wrong feel right
Feel right
All the things I'm taking
Are making me insane
And when I go to sleep at night
I'm wishing for a change
To go back in time
Make what's wrong feel right
To go back in time
Make what's wrong feel right
Feel right
My mom was right
I don't wanna die
I wanna live my life
My mom was right
I don't wanna die
I wanna live my life
My life, my life, my life, my life,
My life, my life, my life, my life,
she takes it deep to her heart
right from the start
she talks softly over a glass of wine
now and again
she is more than a friend
but don't you just throw me a line
say now it would be great
if she'd dedicate
just a minute from her precious time
said i'll give it a while
but thats not my style
now how is that a crime
everyone says that i'm wild
pardon my french but i still know my child
and that wasn't it
i told her i needed some time from her daddy-o
i began walking
while she was still talkin
lookin for an exit sign
pardon my face
but i am leaving no trace
cause i really haven't got the time
well i began thinking
and my heart is just sinking
looking for a place to go
well isn't it sad
how she'll treats you so bad
and u never really let her know
well everyone says that shes cryin
but i can; t forget all the tiem i spent tryin
and that wasn't it
i told her i needed some time from her daddy-o
and i know i know
what it feels like to be alone
i say now i know i know
what it feels like to be at home
i say i like i like
stoping to say hello
said its my life my life my life
why can't we take this slow, why can; t we take this slow
why can't we take this slow
now i been thro the phases
and i walked thro the mazes
i'm sick and just a little tired
i'm sure it isn't fair
but i'm not aware
of the patience thats required
if i could have kissed her
everytime that i misses her
i wouldn't be out the door
but now and again
i sure need a friend
now isn't that what shes for
everyone says that i'm lyin
but i can't forget all the times she was cryin
and that wasn't it
i told her i need some time from her daddy-o
and i know i know
what it feels like to be alone
i say now i know i know
what it feels like to be at home
i say i like i like
stoping to say hello
said its my life my life my life
why can't we take this slow, why can; t we take this slow
baby take this slow
its my life my life
why can; t we take this slow
[G-Wise * vocoder box effect]
Yeahhh, yeh yeh - G. Rap that's gangsta (my life nigga)
[Chorus: G-Wise * vocoder]
All of my life, I live

Thug it out baby, thug it out baby
Don't stop 'til I die for this
I'll be keepin it trueeeeeee
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
[Kool G. Rap]
Yo, yo
Giancanna the name break it down simple and plain
Went from a small chimp in the game to gorilla king pimpin the game
Know how to tempt dames to tense in the Range
Hit the block to pitch rocks, the strength of the name
Limp with a cane, lactosin limp for the king
We even pack toast expend from the flames, my aim
Strictly about makin that bread pop (y'know) blocks red hot
from feds and cops, lookin for rock bottles with red tops
Tradin lead shots with dreadlocks
Infrared dots 'til their head drop, we fled spots
Word on the curb is when it came to birds we spread flocks (no doubt)
No tellin when the bloodshed stop, glide 'til the sled stop
Copped the latest every hot flavor in them crocs and gators
Somebody clique riff, pop the bravest
Out of town trips in whips I got from Avis, drop knots in Vegas
My plot for paper was crockpots of wafers
[Chorus]
[Kool G. Rap]
Nigga into warm mansion rooms, wall to wall with handsome goons
Half-naked bitches dancin to tunes (uh-huh)
Marble floor to the terrace nigga, glance at the moon
Play the jacuzzi 'til your hands get blue
Rugs tight, bright as the white sands of Cancun [yeahhhh]
Skylights up in the ceilings for the plants to bloom
Nigga we crop grams in dunes, Cuban cigar brand of grandest fumes
Prison niggaz that ran balloons
Shut down shop from Jan. to June, and still cop land in the boons
Fuck women in tanning rooms
Every last fingernail on their hand groomed, self built do
Down to the mink pelts, gator belts and silk suit
If I can't stack a nigga cap get peeled loose
Word to them cats that died on the street, it's spilled juice
So where that Don be? (right here) In the calm breeze in the palm trees
Bomb G under the armpiece
Livin in harmony, coke farm pharmacy
Bulletproof armory, school of the hard knock honory
Washin the jackpot like laundry
Fuckin Don of the year nominee, honestly
[Chorus] - repeat 2X
[G-Wise * vocoder box in background to fade]
[Kool G. Rap]
G. Rap nigga.
What, thug shit, Queens clicks
What. uh-huh
Yeah, thug shit, Queens clicks
Thug shit, Queens clicks
I'm plagued by what I'm supposed to be
Your life, your goals
That's not what's best for me
You've shown me your dreams of who I am
Well this is my life
In the palm of my hand
I'll take advantadge
Day by day
Embrace tomorrow
Forget yesterday
These second chances make things right
I've been knocked down but I won't die without a fight.
This Crazy
I'm Thankful
Welcome Welcome
Life is what you make it
you gotta put in hard work

Life is what u make it
though it may sound basic
going through some bad times
while were faithful for the goodtimes yea

Life is what u make it

i'm living free, can't hold me down
if i need champagne, it's popping now
your life is so light in the tropic sea
if they're angels tell 'em it's
chorus:
my life, my life, my life hey oh, hey oh
my life hey oh, hey oh!
cause i love you, cause i love you
hey oh, hey oh, hey oh
my life! hey oh!
cause i love you, hey oh
cause i love it, hey oh
cause i love you, hey oh
cause i love it, hey oh
cause i love you, hey oh
cause i love it, hey oh
cause i love you, hey oh
cause i love it, hey oh
my life hey oh, hey oh
my life hey oh, hey oh
music by Morbid Death
lyric by Ricardo Santos
Walking on the wild side
With my eyes unfold
Very close to the edge
My legs shake constantly
The better thing that I`ll do
Is go straight ahead
Face with no fear
To all that could appear
I`ll choose the way
It`s my decision
I want to choose the best
So I can`t be an illusion
My life, my pain
I have to support it
My life, my gain
I have to deserve it
Keep on going
Trust in what you believe
Don`t let the others
laugh in your face
I have to be strong and not weak
My life, my pain
I have to support it
My life, my gain
I have to deserve it
To all my listners out there
This your boy, Kut Calhoun
And this song here, is about my life
It can be about your life
What people have to say about, won't let you live your life
Here's what I think
[Verse 1: Kutt Calhoun]
My pants is saggin' braided hair
People stare but I don't care
It's the life that I choose to lead
I'm who I choose to be
And who are you to be abusing me?
With your hypocritical, stereotypical slanders
"Oh! he's a thug he must sell drugs at random"
Just because I'm a young black brother I gotta slang dope
And disrespect black mothers, Nah!
I'm a king for a queen, on a quest to ball
I'm the spleen in a man, an threat to yo'll
I'm black, strapped and packed with intellect and all
I'm what you call your worst nightmare?
Cause I don't walk around with a happy face
I got a face stressed, and feed mouths, I ain't livin' in Happy Days
So you can say what you wanna
I'm a still gonna be the same ol me in the mornin'
(Know why?)
[Chorus:]
It's my life (life)
It's my life (life)
It's my life (life)
It's my life (life)
Here's my chance to make you feel
What I feel
If it's real
Move on
And god bless the child that can hold his own
[Verse 2: Kutt Calhoun]
Now everybody got something to say
About who I be fuckin
The pills that I'm popin'
"Just tone it down okay"
Since everybody wanna open their mouths (Surprise)
I got a big dick for her
Swallow this and get outta (My life)
Instill it in your head, and learn
It's just me!
I never cared to share concerns
About what y'all doin
Who yo'll hanging with
Who yo'll screwing
What your I'll legit
Leave me alone
If I wanna bone, every grown woman in the city, then it's on!
You ain't gon' stop it, I'm a grown ass man
Doing mine with the excasty, I'm still gon' pop it
(let a nigga live)
Or give a nigga room
Got a complicated life that's too troublesome for you
So if I'm on the edge, then let me get it right
Cause regardless what you sayin'
At the end of the night
(It's still)
[Chorus:]
It's my life (life)
It's my life (life)
It's my life (life)
It's my life (life)
Here's my chance to make you feel
What I feel
If it's real
Move on
And god bless the child that can hold his own
[Verse 3: Kutt Calhoun]
Tell me?
You ever been with a relative or a friend
That be tellin' you how to live
Really jealous of how you live
Tryin down you
Look at the people around you
Pointin' who they are
You tell em'
To get some business and stay the fuck outta yours
Cause half of they lives, ain't right, and fucked up more
Shit! Half of them probably can't fight behind closed doors
But they always bringing up these stories
Bout the shit they done did
Thinkin' they gon' get some glory
I never let em'
Get the best of me or stress me
All I wanna do is live my life
But people tend ta.
Wonder, if something is under
[? ] bring the light
So if you a fo, we can pro, we can go
Personal info don't let everybody know
I like to keep it low
Who I hoe when I roll
So don't you put your nose
Straight through the front door
And stay outta
[Chorus: x3]
It's my life (life)
It's my life (life)
It's my life (life)
It's my life (life)
Here's my chance to make you feel
What I feel
If it's real
Move on
And god bless the child that can hold his own
[Outro:]
Yeah, said it's my life
Up under the sun wrapped up in the one (yeah)
You ain't gotta deal with it
Just let me live it
(It's my life)
I find myself in question again
And I doubt this love you've given to me
I hope you understand when I say
That I need this time to myself
You speak your mind to me again
You force your words so deep within
You try to tell me how to live
But it's my life
I know your open arms too well
'Cause I've lost myself there many times before
I need to slowly fall away
Far from the...
The grip you have on me
You speak your mind to me again
You force your words so deep within
You try to tell me how to live
But it's my life
I find these words were never true
I've lost all of my respect for you
I need to find my own way
'Cause it's my life
I shouldn't feel like this(You try to take)
I can't get away(Please just leave)
Just leave me alone(Nothing's ever gonna change)
I can't be this way('Cause I'm alone again)
Please go...
Gotta get away...Won't step away
Gotta get away, just won't step away
I gotta away, I'm pushing me away
I gotta get away...
I'M GONE!
You speak your mind to me again
You force your words so deep within
You try to tell me how to live
But it's my life
I find these words were never true
I've lost all of my respect for you
I need to find my own way
'Cause it's my life
IT'S MY LIFE!
The reach
Through the blood
This is all I ever want to know
Hopeless, helpless, shameless, completely underrated
Signified life
With a forked tongue
Destitute, a vagrant, absent teen
Make me, shape me, break me
You'll never fucking change me
I don't care, hate me
This is my life
And you'll never fucking change me
So I lost, so I failed
My life, my choice, my road
Completely misdirected
So I'm not rich
So I might puke
Social bonds that have no ties to me
Bogus, vicious, valiant
This is this cross that I bear
I don't care
Hate me
This is my life
And you'll never fucking change me
