My Life, Pt. II

Lyrics

[Intro: J-Dawg] (G&B) Uh Be careful what you ask for (G&B) [Chorus: Mary J. Blige] If you looked at my life And see what I've seen (La-la-la-la-la) If you looked at my life And see what I've seen (La-la-la-la-la, la, la) If you looked at my life And see what I've seen (La-la-la-la-la) If you looked at my life And see what I've seen (Yeah) [Verse 1: Propain] Blessings, what the hell is that? We stressin' Ain't no food 'round this bitch, my daddy took a exit Momma double-shifted still feel like we got nothin' I can't sleep cause the roof leak and water drip inside this fuckin' bucket You either starvin' or you thuggin', or sellin' dope, we was thirteen Mark dropped outta school and started hustlin' My dog schooled me to these stealin' cars, I ain't wanna touch it But the way them hoes kept laughin' at my shoes, I was like, "Fuck it" So now we on some shit, we tip-toein' when we roll up Backin' niggas cars out driveways like a tow truck Hit the north side 'cause the chop shop gon' give us more bucks And them same hoes that was laughin' at my shoes, now they gon' fuck Blindfolded in the fast lane, we can't slow up We on the news now, auto-theft division startin' to know us The walls was closin' in, them clear skies turnin' gray See that's the part about the streets that they don't warn you when you play Them hatin' niggas killed my dog, a bitch set 'em up Ain't leave the house for three days, my pillow case was wet as fuck When you young, you can't fathom that they never comin' back Your baby boy gone, how the fuck I tell his mama that? My soul numb They gave my bro a dub and closed the case That devil go to work, it gets hard to hold your faith Ghetto dealers, bad hands, but this the cards we chose to play We ain't worried about tomorrow, hope they don't take our soul today, nigga This my life [Chorus: J-Dawg & Mary J. Blige] If you looked at my life And see what I've seen (Ayy, you don't wanna see this shit, la-la-la-la-la, mm) If you looked at my life And see what I've seen (Nigga, I don't wanna see this shit, la-la-la-la-la, la, la) If you looked at my life And see what I've seen (I done broke every mirror I had 'cause I can't face it, la-la-la-la-la) If you looked at my life And see what I've seen [Verse 2: J-Dawg] I'm screamin' out to you, Lord, it's your long lost child I know I strayed off, been gone for a while now Please don't turn that deaf ear to me (Please) You say, "Ask and you will receive" Father, forgive me I'm lost, ho ass devil got me under his wing Every time I try to come, he always intervene (Every time) Strike a flame deep in my brain Got me thinkin' 'bout killin', when at first, I was thinkin' I'm changed (Changed) Like a nigga schizophrenic (Man) Minute I'm cool, and then I'm actin' a fool, can't understand it I'm manic shit (Crazy shit), so close to goin' insane ('Sane), mm Lord please, if you don't ease this pain, at least stop the rain Pourin' down hail storm lately (Hail storm lately) Heart torn, got me blinder than a new born baby (New born baby) Smoke at least two or three packs of Newports daily (Crazy) My body done, Lord, if you don't come, this cancer gon' take me away (Mm) Sound weak? Well nigga, you come fade it (Bitch ass shit) I done lost so many partners now, I-I ain't crazy (Look at me, I ain't crazy) But I ain't normal neither (That hard), normal than a non-believer (Mm) Mind wicked, I done witnessed some of the sickest evils done to people (On God) Shit, I committed sins I can't believe forgiven either (Yeah) And I believe in Jesus, but I'm still scared of sleepin' Dreamin' 'bout these same bitch-ass demons every night (Every night) Tryna kill me, I really feel it, I be fightin' for my life And right before I, die [Outro: J-Dawg] If you looked at my life And see what I've see, see (Yeah, they don't wanna see this shit, la-la-la-la-la) If you looked at my life And see what I've seen (La-la-la-la-la) If you looked at my life, looked at my life Ah, you looked at my life (La-la-la-la-la) If you looked at my life My life, yeah, yeah
