| 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] | |
