My Life (feat. AG)

Andre Barnes

Y'all know me as A.G. though

This is real shit right here

Fifteen years though

You would think that it's all good

I was born in seven months, thumping with the Grim Reaper

God snatched me up, threw me back, said "He's a keeper"

My daddy was a leaver, **** left before my birth

Patti Barnes held me down, cultivated me, Mother Earth

I was raised in my aunt's house, then to the Bronx house

Back to my aunt's couch, to a hip-hop legend

I dropped out of twelfth grade, a dumb move, I hate that

It made me who I am though, a move I wouldn't take back

Finesse put me on, Show stepped up and put us out

Joseph taught me a lesson, believe in self and never doubt

Now, Joe is my father, I had to kiss my aunt gone

God is playing hardball, shit is real hardcore

Got dirty with **** that I feel in my heart, blood

Eighty is the truth, nine-fifty is the spark plug

Some know me as a Virgos, raised as a rapper

Rodriguez took me in, now I'm dirty on the avenue

Come on, come on, come on

Life has always been a struggle

What now?

Uh-huh

Is... a good... time

I rap about my pain and my struggles

My joy and my pleasures, the good and the bad

The ugly and the pressure, be repping the hood

'Til they put me on that stretcher, I will never quit, ****

(****, never?) ****, never

I been spitting these flames since OT in the Days Inn

Do it 'til I'm laid in the ground, it's engraved in my art

So I play to win, I'm God but they don't pray to him

The Passion of Christ, it's like life when I'm saving them

Been flowing on tracks since playing with matchsticks

Before **** had chicks, so I'm raw with this rap shit

A whole lot of peaks and valleys, these backstreets and alleys

Have you feeling pain, I spit flames like a scene from Carrie

Got bodied in high school, and I ain't even like school

Was it 'cause I'm a shy dude or I never had fly shoes?

Who would've ever thought that **** went and bought

That kid from New York, fuck the talk, I had to risk it all
