AKIR - "This Is Your Life" [Emcee(s): AKIR] [Producer(s): [?]] [Intro: AKIR] Yo, I don't know who the fuck you think you're dealing with, man. Nah, stop the crying. I can't take this no more, man. All I do is bring food home to these kids. I got a roof over your head and you watch fucking soap operas all day and lay on your ass. And you're gonna tell me about me? Yo, fuck this shit. Man, I'm out of here. B, I'm out. Hey! [Verse 1: AKIR] Yo, they say that we're endangered species. AKIR's thesis is To survive ten times ten. Not in a ten by ten Ten times out of ten, they got a plan for my Hard rocks that have not had babies that start again He stole her love. How could she ever give her heart again? She opened up. He closed the door, never had sparks again Went through some men to validate she's a queen Never found a king. The pain made her turn to a fiend Feeling low, getting high the only way she sees dreams Stays at home, watching soaps, thinks she part of the screen To get away from a day and the kid's hunger screams, she buys Something fly, though it seems out of her mean Yo, behind, she still gets ahead. This dude was real red Something on his head. Plus, she liked the way he worked it In bed. Thirsting to wed, settle down is what [?] did And so she did it too, simply to fight the ridicule He made her life miserable. Except the kids, of course So they got a divorce up in court. Child support Hearings bad as Hell and the only pair of earrings Chanel perfume while her suit was crisp, splitting She screams, "From the beginning, situations was trife" The judge says, "I don't care, bitch. This is your life" [Hook: AKIR] Even though there's trouble, we'll still be on the hustle Stuck behind the struggle, we're still ready to rumble Although we built it up, it's still ready to crumble Foundation ain't tight, man, this is your life Forever in the game, it's hard not to fumble Trying to maintain or strive but still stumble Rocking big chains, it's hard to stay humble Forever in a fight, child, this is your life [Verse 2: AKIR] First step behind the eight ball. Can't even crawl Ain't no time to watch your back. Thoughts of that caught Some cats, so cautious acts come out as fear Big dogs in your ear with their 40s of beer become Accessories to your New Year. Freshman year Situation cloudy as a child but now clear Problems seem distance but they're still near House needs money for diapers. Uncle's a lifer Pops left fast. No gas left in your lighter Moms getting high, listening to Earth, Wind & Fire Old-timers tell you how they always dreamed to retire before Their life expires. Doing wild shit made you a livewire Looking for fame, pops dropped the ball, sub in The game. Your terrain, so you're doing your thing Big chains and lots of women lock chains and switching linen It's only the beginning. Losing your mind to keep winning And while you focus on immediate living, they're having Children and classmates focus on glass ceilings. Only to Clear up their debt without facing arrest. The streets Got you pet niggas, so you're wearing a vest Stress internally hexed by society's death threats Born in the struggle, always grew up in trouble, where niggas Snuff you just to prove their muscle. Live for their money To double in bundles, ready to die for their hustle [Hook: AKIR] Even though there's trouble, we'll still be on the hustle Stuck behind the struggle, we're still ready to rumble Although we built it up, it's still ready to crumble Foundation ain't tight, man, this is your life Forever in the game, it's hard not to fumble Trying to maintain or strive but still stumble Rocking big chains, it's hard to stay humble Forever in a fight, child, this is your life
