| Your son’s stressin’you out
|
| When he was home, he showed no respect for ya house
|
| Now he locked up, callin’collect and you about
|
| To put a block on your phone, Til he says you’re the only one helpin’him out
|
| He said his friends ain’t there for him
|
| He wished he’d listened when you said they don’t care for him
|
| Every night, before you sleep you say a pray for him
|
| You even blame yourself cause you couldn’t pay bail for him
|
| You raised him the best you could
|
| He respect you more now cause you’re his best friend in the hood
|
| He said he love you and he sorry for the trouble he cause you
|
| And it isn’t because of you he in there
|
| So Live Ya Life…
|
| Chorus: (Singing)
|
| This Life, Oh this life
|
| I promise to keep on, keep on, keep on, keep on strugglin'
|
| I’m gonn do it right
|
| So there won’t have to be no troubles in my life
|
| You single and strugglin', sleepin’with dudes
|
| Get no feelings involved, they trickin’on you
|
| You think you gettin ova, as time flies you gettin olda
|
| You waking up with nobody to hold ya You’re like bad dope, nobody want you
|
| Haunted by your past ghosts, they used to run through
|
| Changin’is your last hope, but do you want to?
|
| Are you still sensual prey when dealers come through?
|
| Is your respect worth losin’for the next man’s wealth?
|
| Look in the mirror, stare at yourself
|
| Everything you do in darkness will come to the light
|
| Stop fighting your conscience and Live Ya Life…
|
| You had an addiction
|
| It was so clear
|
| Child welfare came into your home and apprehended your children
|
| Now you faced with a decision
|
| What ya love more: simulation or your children?
|
| The Choice is yours, In the presence of evil
|
| you started sniffin', Boy you was scared of them needles
|
| Your man died from sharin’with people
|
| You know that dope good if you said it’s diesel
|
| Now you staring at your kids room, but it don’t seem true
|
| It’s sunny outside but it don’t seem blue
|
| You got kids who need you
|
| What you gonna do?
|
| The only way you gonna make things right —
|
| Is to get yourself together and Live Ya Life…
|
| — repeat 2X
|
| Keep on, keep on, keep on, keep on strugglin' |
