My Life

Yeah, I've been hanging from a loose noose, man that can't be healthy

Looking for my mama but she wasn't there to help me

Never knew my daddy so my memory is filthy

Slipping in the darkness, all these **** wanna kill me

Compton city living, ain't too many chances given

And you ain't gonna make it if you scary or you timid

This a real life horror movie, drugs and crime scenes

**** sleep walking, thugs supplying dreams

Still see your face without the battle scars

I love you mama, come back for your baby boy

Remember the light before we hit the darker days

I used to watch you zone out to some Marvin Gaye

And you would smile at me but I knew you wasn't happy

Cause you saw all the snares that was there to trap me

But I was more concerned about you

Now I'm out here on my own, I just wanna come home

My life

You see I came from the gutta

And ain't no love for each other 'round here

My life

Ayo, it's all about a come up

And when a **** speak don't stutter 'round here

My life

All I ever seen is pistols

And if you ain't official don't come around here

My life

Huh, I'ma rise to the sky

If not then a **** gon' die 'round here

The year was 1998

When I first got committed into finding my way

Parachuted through the sky, hit the earth with a thump

Maybe that's the source I'm getting all this turbulence from

Couldn't figure out the recipe, other kids were pressuring me

But boy, I ain't a follower cause followers will never lead

I ain't afraid of shit, what heal me won't ever bleed

But I have seen some things that y'all should never see

Staring at the blood of my mama

Why you gotta take her from me when her love is my armor, huh?

She was a woman who was overwhelmed

Wasn't ready to raise a son, didn't know the realm

Drug addicts in the house, po-po was always out

Seen a choke hold, pass my old babysitter out

Got roaches in the city, yo, bitter in your mouth

Can't wait for this **** to put a cigarette out

My life

You see I came from the gutta

And ain't no love for each other 'round here

My life

Ayo, it's all about a come up

And when a **** speak don't stutter 'round here

My life

All I ever seen is pistols

And if you ain't official don't come around here

My life

Huh, I'ma rise to the sky

If not then a **** gon' die 'round here

I got game and the streets is my arena

Looking for a bitch called life, have you seen her?

I got game and the streets is my arena

Looking for a bitch called life, have you seen her?

My life

I got game and the streets is my arena

Looking for a bitch called life, have you seen her?

My life

I got game and the streets is my arena

Looking for a bitch called life, have you seen her?
