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 nigga 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 shit gone change

Now I'm A-Town bound nigga down for the grain

I'm feeling like I'm loosing my sane

Cause nigga'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

Nigga 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 shit 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]
