| You can feel in your veins
|
| This is my life, all the ins and the outs, these are my feelings
|
| And i’m spilling them out, this is 25 with life at the end
|
| This is peace kid- know i’ll see you again
|
| These are cold nights, only heat was the stove
|
| These are mean streets, where the weak exposed
|
| This is dear god, can you show me a sign? |
| This is please dad
|
| Please stop snorting those lines. |
| This was my life, through
|
| Defeats and the drought, these are my feelings i’m just leaking
|
| ‘em out this is dry ink but the wounds are fresh
|
| These are lost tears for 20 years I kept, this is my life, how
|
| The bricks were laid, this the foundation where my heart remains
|
| This is dear god, I have nothing to say, this is please mom put the
|
| Liquor away. |
| This is me alone, soul searchin for peace, this is
|
| Life music more than hooks and a beat, this a young man letting
|
| Go of the past, reachin for the future that i’m hoping to grasp
|
| This is Rasheed Al Almeen Chappell, and how I found heaven
|
| From the depths of hell, this is my life and it made me strong and
|
| In my own words how it made this song
|
| It’s become so easy because you’re so real
|
| Nothin but some real shit, what y’all expected? |
| What-what-what-what y’all
|
| expected?
|
| This is a dream manifested, seen as a reference to teens
|
| Adolescents, means to express it, jeans and a necklace is seen
|
| As impressive. |
| Livin out our dreams you can squeeze as directed
|
| This is moms rent money that bailed you out, my commentary is
|
| Commissary she mailed you out, this is flowers for the graves for
|
| Loved ones lost who spent the hours and the days to keep us out the cage
|
| This is for the soldiers returning home from war
|
| For soldiers not returning home for sure
|
| These are thoughts of the youth asking the price of the cost of some
|
| Boots not the cost of a suit instead of ironing a tux, iron being tucked
|
| Standing grindin till it’s dusk till a dime become a buck
|
| Caught buying in a bust, in a line up being cuffed, go from a
|
| Diamonds in a rough to end up shinin being buffed this is
|
| Crack in the Val inhaled by a pregnant mama attached
|
| To a child ain’t relapse in a while, chest full of smoke
|
| Lungs collapse from the clouds, no cash, how you ask her to smile?
|
| This is humility and happiness ability, adapting with silliness and
|
| Tragicness to really be immaculate gotta take the negative and
|
| Positive and master it, the lightning in the body you can capture
|
| It, this is triumph and failure the way that they mesh this is the first
|
| Day of birth the last day of death, this is so real that it hurts to say
|
| For you it’s so real that it hurts to play |
