My Life Lyrics
Lost in my life and gripping onto seams
Living what's real, yet holding on to dreams
I gotta get it see whatever that means
Ain't nobody taking my dream
Hook 1:
Tell me what is this life
That i been living on the run from the darkside
Caught between Courtelyou and Parkside
Yo, what is this life
I've been pursuing, under pressure it's crunch time
As metaphors race to the punchline
Yo, what is this life
That I've been claiming shedding tears and blood
Up on the mountain planting flags for the hood
Yo is this really my life
We out here getting, till the getting is good
Keeping it floating till the end if we could
Verse 1
Yo, What's this life God
I grip and yank cords back through my existence
Knees buckle glancing at God, through the resistance
Thieves chuckle, hustling cards being persistent
Breeze muzzle blowing through squads, 'ayo I keep my distance'
Living enlisted in this games army of sick shit
Quick get ready to aim, or den get hit wit
Them dirty barrels of choice and circumstances
Medics move nimble through voice, plotting advances
The chances of hurdling hurts any advantage
And dancing with legal for works, leaving me frantic, the panic
Failings a perk, simmering havoc Atlantic to back where I work/ im doing damage "whoa"
Ain't nothing part time in life, this all a grand hustle
So I'mma hit it until the tip of my click bust through
This altered circle, alters beats and productions
Flooding through the streets until eruption, yo what is this life
This life that I live the only life I know
Gotta feed my kids, so I'mma get this doe, fasho
Ain't a crumb that I'mma see let go
I'm tryina get it in dis life that i know
Hook 2:
Tell me what is this life
That i been living on the run from the darkside
Caught between Courtelyou and Parkside
Yo, what is this life
I've been pursuing, under pressure it's crunch time
As metaphors race to the punchline
Yo, what is this life
That I've been claiming shedding tears and blood
Up on the mountain planting flags for the hood
Yo is this really my life
We out here getting, till the getting is good
Keeping it floating till the end if we could
Bridge 2 (x2):
Lost in my life and gripping onto seams
Living what's real, yet holding on to dreams
I gotta get it see whatever that means
Ain't nobody taking my dream
I said, cash get funny, then grab masks for money
But tryin' do the best that you can first, listen
Stash get bummy, wrap up in the cash mummy
And hustle with the bundle a grams they had for me
I had plans to just live as an honest man
But i stumbled across hands dat eat better than mine can
With half of the talent, dat half of my best mans
Wit half of the effort have, in half of they worst hands
Hook 3:
Tell me what is this life
That i been living on the run from the darkside
Caught between Courtelyou and Parkside
Yo, what is this life
I've been pursuing, under pressure it's crunch time
As metaphors race to the punchline
Yo, what is this life
That I've been claiming shedding tears and blood
Up on the mountain planting flags for the hood
Yo is this really my life
We out here getting, till the getting is good
Keeping it floating till the end if we could
Bridge 2 (x2):
This life that I live the only life I know
Gotta feed my kids, so I'mma get this doe, fasho
Ain't a crumb that I'mma see let go
I'm tryina get it in dis life that i know
