FML Lyrics

[Intro: August Alsina & Pusha T]
All you gotta do is get it one time, one time
For all my niggas (For my niggas)
(For my niggas too) Ohh
Drumma Boy, Drumma Boy

[Verse 1: Pusha T]
Wake up feelin' like fuck my life
Life's a bitch, she better fuck me right

Lost my love in this losin' game
When the Feds came, it's like I lost my wife
Nigga losin' weight, as I'm losin' time
See I took a loss, see I lost a mil', then I lost my mind
Over-conversated with them hoes
Overcompensated with them hoes
Overdid it like it's overtime
Told her run the tab 'til she overdose
Alpina, Alsina, King Push like King Tut
Made niggas to you middle men
You get middle fingers, we don't give a fuck
Ow!

[Verse 2: August Alsina]
Let me tell you 'bout myself, I'm not scared to die
Been through so much shit, sometimes I wanna be in the sky
Wanna know how it feels to fly, wanna know how it feels to fly
I'm scared of hello, I ain't scared of goodbye
[Pre-Hook: August Alsina]
I never thought that I would be here
I never thought I'd get this far
If they say life is like a beach chair
Then why am I sitting in the dark?


[Hook: August Alsina]
Growing up (Sometimes I just feel like, fuck my life)
Growing up (Fuck my life, fuck my life)
Even when I'm up I'm feeling down, ohh
Fuck my life, fuck my life
Half my niggas locked up or underground, ohh
Fuck my life, fuck my life
Sometimes I just feel like, fuck my life
Fuck my life, fuck my life


[Verse 3: August Alsina]
See I grew up in the jungle, where everybody broke
A lot of niggas never make it, all they know is selling dope
Life ain't easy in the Easy, murder capital
Might not make it here tomorrow, like I'm running outta hope, no

[Pre-Hook: August Alsina]
I never thought that I would be here
I never thought I'd get this far
If they say life is like a beach chair
Then why am I sitting in the dark?

[Hook: August Alsina]
Growing up (Sometimes I just feel like, fuck my life)
Growing up (Fuck my life, fuck my life)
Even when I'm up I'm feeling down, ohh
Fuck my life, fuck my life
Half my niggas locked up or underground, ohh
Fuck my life, fuck my life
Sometimes I just feel like, fuck my life
Fuck my life, fuck my life

Even when I'm up I'm feeling down, ohh
Fuck my life, fuck my life
Half my niggas locked up or underground, ohh
Fuck my life, fuck my life
Sometimes I just feel like, fuck my life
Fuck my life, fuck my life

About

Genius Annotation

FML, which features Pusha T, is the emotionally dark 7th track off August Alsina’s 2014 debut studio album Testimony. Standing for “Fuck My Life”, the song portrays a rather sinister underlying theme and is a testament to the feeling of lack of control over the outcomes your life takes you to. In addition, Alsina touches on a lurking and overshadowing presence of loneliness he feels, especially after the loss of a loved one.

What did August Alsina say about "FML"?
Genius Answer

August explained in an interview back when the album was dropped in 2014 “FML, with Pusha, of course stands for fuck my life. I think we all get in a place in life where we just like ‘fuck it’, like just fuck everything, just fuck it all. And that’s exactly what the song is.”
