My Life lyrics

Uh, yeah

Uh, word

Check it, look

I grew up a screw up, why? Cause pops wasn't around

He ain't get a chance to see me graduate in that gown

Graduated outta eighth grade, went back to the streets

Used to cry so much made it easy for me to sleep

Mama tried but when I'm in the streets it's making her weep

Hold on, give me a second this shit finna get deep

Went to school mad, now I'm locked up every week

Mama tell me everyday, ain't no love in the streets

Feel like the world was after me, so I'm packing my heat

Crimes scenes, burglaries, youngin' just tryna eat

When they jumped off the porch, I was crossing the street

I used to ask my self like why it happened to me

Daddy was a heroin addict students laughing at me

Ditchin' school smoking weed sitting up under the tree

All the girls used to laugh when a nigga walked past until

I started selling dope started working with cash

I always had dreams of being a man, living life with a plan,

Instead I'm crying with this gun in my hand

Why life gotta be so hard, but death is easy? Where I'm from you either take it or leave it

What's with all these babies having these kids? And nobody cares,

But where I'm from that's just the way that it is

They killing our community but they ain't taking it seriously

Police steady killing kids, man we can't even live

Walk in my shoes and take a look at what I been through

Fu-Fu-Fussin' and fightin' every month the rent due

If that's the struggle or not I gave up all that I got

Ima get to the top whether you like it or not

Remember cooking up the coke in a pot, couldn't get a job

Ima felony, so I had no choice but sell rocks

And If you want something in life, gotta stand for it

Got my mom a house and tell her she her own landlord

I grew up in Chicago, where babies need food

Teachers ain't teaching so all the kids picking up tools

Want me to tell you how I know, cause I was one of them dudes

Just cause I ain't finish school that don't make me a fool

A lot of people really never seen the struggle before

They don't know how the ball bounce or know how it roll

Whatchu wanna live, platinum or gold? It's just the life that I chose

Me and my niggas used to wear the same clothes

But now we hit the mall together and buy all of the stores

Coming up man, [?]

[?]

Hear the beat and then I start to record,

I'm living in the fast lane like I'm on fast forward. Uh
