Hey baby
This is my life yeah


[Chorus:]
This is my life

Baby ohhh
This is life


[Verse 1:]
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

[Hook:]

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 ^!$$% 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


[Chorus: 2x]

[Verse 2:]

Mama jumped ship
Hoping %#@! gone change
Now I'm A-Town bound ^!$$% down for the grain

I'm feeling like I'm loosing my sane
Cause ^!$$%'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
^!$$% love is pain


[Hook]
[Chorus: 2x]


[Verse 3:]
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 %#@! 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

So?

[Hook]


[Chorus: 2x]
