Verse 1 | |
Once upon a time there was a kid named Michael | |
he'd write about his life, but with so many typos | |
like when he wrote live, it should have said love | |
and when he wrote hit, he really meant hug | |
but he couldn't dig a hole that's already been dug | |
like you couldn't smoke a bowl, and not call it a drug | |
his story so imperfect but that's what made it beautiful | |
at times like a circus but that's what made it suitable | |
at a school,.where kids used words like 'dudacleâ? | |
awesome, and radical with care-free attitudes | |
but as life went on, he put trust in songs | |
like when he heard BAD, he put gloves on his palms | |
when Biv sang Poison, he new jack swung | |
and when he heard BDP, yo his brain went num | |
that's when he got struck by that hiphop bug | |
and those that had it, were the only ones that new what's up | |
the beginning of a story he'd write in bed | |
which developed into tears and an ending that read.. | |
Chorus | |
Check the rhyme | |
and check the rhyme one time | |
now check the rhythm | |
its the life of mine | |
Check the rhyme.. | |
and check the rhyme one time.. | |
I feel delivered.. | |
when this life aint mine | |
Verse 2 | |
As the story unfolded, the plot did thicken | |
when michael played with dirt that soap couldn't rid him | |
hanging with a crowd, that clouded his decisions.. | |
they doubted he was Christian by the way that he was living | |
but not a misfit, to most your average Joe blow | |
minus a bit of lying or a run in with Po-Po (police). | |
and time to time put his mind in slow-mo | |
puffin marijuana till motivation was no-show | |
then took his mental photos and wrote em in a notepad. | |
utilizing metaphors and rhyming his vocab. | |
unsigned, hella broke, and still at his folks pad | |
he crawled back to church home turf since dads gonads | |
Mike knew life meant more than getting by | |
living for fame, money, girls or getting high | |
he heard good deeds could never get him to heaven | |
but only through grace .and the son that God sent in | |
and that's when, he felt shivers set in | |
palms sweating, off his feet it swept him | |
a concept so deep he couldn't sleep | |
he fell to his knees, as tears hit the concrete.. | |
and it wasn't concrete where mike was headed next | |
but in faith he stepped as he developed this text.. | |
Chorus | |
Verse 3 | |
Now this concept not complex | |
but in context a contest, | |
a constant conflict with conscience to conquest | |
the accomplice promoting Mikes destruction | |
peddling greed, self righteousness and corruption | |
but Mike couldn't win or even be that good kid | |
he needed help, to find out how he could live | |
he wrestled pride, until a few left hooks hit | |
and accepted Christ, and everything he could give | |
but Michael didn't care as people smirked and stared | |
some gave him props but inside Michael always cheered | |
he knew his choice was right, | |
and at times thought twice, | |
but he believed the word cause the word it brought light, | |
and he got it, he'd always be a man of sin, | |
but as long as Christ atoned, Mike was free within, | |
so he grabbed a pen, without hesitation, | |
and called his friends bout plans, that he'd be breaking, | |
and wrote this story, he kept in his head | |
entitled, "this life aint mine" and it read |
