| My life, Pharoahe Monch, Ayatollah
|
| Howard Mcduffy, Holiday Styles, Double R, Rawkus Records
|
| Pharoahe talk to 'em
|
| Let 'em try to understand
|
| Let 'em try, let 'em try now
|
| My life is all I have
|
| My rhymes, my pen, my pad
|
| And I done made it through the struggle, don’t judge me
|
| What you say now won’t budge me
|
| 'Cause where I come from, so often
|
| People you grew up with are layin' in a coffin
|
| But I done made it through the pain and strife
|
| It’s my time now, my world, my life
|
| My life
|
| Is based on lightin' blunts, loadin' guns
|
| Tellin' my lawyers to get the case gone
|
| I need the bills that the presidents got they face on
|
| So I could switch my residence
|
| Get a truck and a Lex
|
| Fuck a check, I no longer have to wait for 'em
|
| I made a couple ends, lost a couple friends
|
| I light a blunt 'cause never will the struggle end
|
| So you could judge a nigga, but you ain’t got it
|
| You ain’t in the role, so you really can’t budge a nigga
|
| You oughta love a nigga
|
| For the fact that it’s my world and my life but still I’m a rugged nigga
|
| They say, «You buggin' nigga,» fuck it, I’m a thuggin' nigga
|
| You talkin' bullshit then kick it with another nigga
|
| I got a bigger bed and I need a cover nigga
|
| And I ain’t got friends, I got enemies
|
| So if they wit' me, then that means they my brother nigga
|
| My life is all I have
|
| My rhymes, my pen, my pad
|
| And I done made it through the struggle, don’t judge me
|
| What you say now won’t budge me
|
| 'Cause where I come from, so often
|
| People you grew up with are layin' in a coffin
|
| But I done made it through the pain and strife
|
| It’s my time now, my world, my life
|
| My life
|
| Is a blunt to the head, a prayer for the dead
|
| Run around hustlin', scared of the feds
|
| They said, «Death is eternal sleep»
|
| But the only thing is you ain’t really sure if you prepared for the bed
|
| So often we get merc’d in the head, instead of big money
|
| They got big momma hurtin' instead
|
| My life is makin' the verse
|
| But the handcuffs, the bullpens, the jail cells is makin' it worse
|
| Tell mommy I don’t go to the church
|
| Tell Oc' I dont' go to mosque
|
| I blow blunts, hold guns, and I’ma be right there when the soldiers’ll march
|
| I play my part and my heart seem colder than March
|
| But on the flipside of things, it’s still warmer than June
|
| I have talks with the Lord and he’ll be callin' me soon, what?
|
| And my life is all I have
|
| My family, my niggas, my flow, my grabs, what?
|
| My life is all I have
|
| My rhymes, my pen, my pad
|
| And I done made it through the struggle, don’t judge me
|
| What you say now won’t budge me
|
| 'Cause where I come from, so often
|
| People you grew up with are layin' in a coffin
|
| But I done made it through the pain and strife
|
| It’s my time now, my world, my life
|
| My life
|
| My life |
