My Life

MY LIFE Intro-They say life is an illusion……But my life's been real Daddy was a gangsta, daddy was a soldier. Daddy had the weight of the world on his 2 shoulders Verse 1 Im feeling lost here Everywhere I walk here, my life’s in the cross hairs Im off my square, but everybody’s off theirs Skeletons in the closet. I'm dusting off the cobwebs People presumably think that I'm who I use to be But this community’s full of hypocritical lunacy The pain brutally molded a man beautifully But still its hard for me to humanly handle the scrutiny Cause mom and daddy always said I’d be a millionaire But when that dream disappeared it was if they didn't care Beware, when your deep in despair nobody’s there Better say a prayer before ya damaged beyond repair I've squandered multiple scholarships and the consequence Was turning Major League prominence into prison politics But I was only 19 and had some other plans But that’s a life that most of yall will never understand Hook- That’s my Life……I can't be everything you want me to be My Life…………But that’s my life….I gotta move on My Life…………….Your opinions don’t mean nothing to me Cause in my Life……….All I can do is be me Verse 2 Solidified veteran Music is my medicine. What a wonderful sedative Flesh void of melanin. That’s a delicate element But still relevant to my growth and development So I toast to skeletons dwelling in elegance And yall can save the slick talk cause it insults my intelligence Its time you heard the story of pain and purgatory Bitter cold blood was freely flowing through my circulatory Trading war stories in laboratories the crematorium burns glory On the path before me, an army Of soldiers with spread wings lamented the king The hands of time stand still while the pendulum swings I articulated my place in this crooked republic Then cowards shot me in both legs, the buttocks and twice in the stomach But yo, my resume will speak for itself I don’t need cosigners I can speak for myself Hook`(repeated) Bridge (repeat second part of intro) Verse 3 I’ll never be the best, never be the realest rapper But yo, Ill never be a slouch and never be an actor Ill never close my eyes to the lies and let it ride Ill never say never if never will never survive Ill never disguise all my music with popular vibe Ill just be me, and let all you people decide And man Ill never be better that you…… That’ll never be the truth, man I'm better than you Ill never glamorize the streets. Never dodge all the daggers I've gathered throughout the years from these cowards and backstabbers And Ill never be anything except the man I'm born to be Cause if you can't stand on it, your flirting with forgery Ill never trust a smile, never break another vow Being took advantage of is something I’ll never allow And even if I never make it to the top Man I promise you Ill never stop. Like it or not… Hook
