INTRO
I know what you’re thinking…why THIS instrumental right?
‘Cause it perfectly helps illustrate all I have left…my life.

HOOK
In my life, (repeat)
I’m barely living now (repeat)
You don’t know?
You can’t care;
So don’t play…
Like you’re there;
It’s my life, it’s mine,
It’s all I got now (repeat)

VERSE
My life isn’t far
From your own; in fact!
I wouldn’t be surprised
If identical like a clone;
Born within an audience
Dead before closed eyes;
Then saluted to the skies
No escapin’ your demise;
The end…
Comes at unexpected times!
So live your lives,
Like life defies;
Death!
Within his routine;
Forever hold dear
Lessons learned results you’ve seen;
Like they do mean; something!
Like you don’t care
When the ol’ reapers comin’;
Like the soul keeper’s frontin’;
My life isn’t bullshit…
I try to stay clean
I keep true without a clue
Of how to stay keen;
Cause life is but a dream;
Floatin’ down rapids
And I’m sittin laughin;
Not carin’ what happens
Since I’m just chillin’ rappin’;
Almost died twice
Watched three brothers go;
What a mournful life
Which still recovers slow;
In my welfare…
I can’t afford a better one;
It’s all I have
‘til my unemployment letter comes;
Look at my reflection
Remember where I came from;
Age ain’t a number
It’s a price, life’s paid from;
Made some mistakes
Afraid of disgrace;
Never fear man
But always love women;
Forever bow to God
Even after I’m livin’;
And that’s IF I’m given
The holy Lord’s grant;
A second chance,
But for now I’ll rant; now I’ll chant
My life is ‘this’
My life is ‘that’;
My life IS
All I have.

HOOK 2
In my life, (repeat)
I’m barely working now (repeat)
I don’t go?
The cash stays;
But can’t wait…
For small pay;
It’s my life, it’s mine,
It’s all I got now (repeat)

VERSE 2
My life isn’t far
From becomin’ recognized;
Not yet an enterprise
But never commercialized;
Once had a vision
From the slump I had risen; rap!
Game no longer different
And its map had my position;
Not yet come true!
Maybe ‘cause of new; age
Kind of criticism…
Hip Hop lost its wisdom?!
If I’ve never been to prison
Would you still listen?!
What if I was shot,
Would that reach your ears?
If that bullet killed me
Would my memory smear?!
Flow out through tears?
Or jump start my career?!
My life is unknown
‘Til I punch it in at work;
Rap in a verse,
Otherwise it’s pretty worth; less!
I’m not the worst
And yet I’m not the best;
Put myself to the test!
To earn ya’ll respect;
Because behind the laughs
Resides all the wrath;
Trying to retract
Through all of these tracks;
Yo my life is my term
And I’m its definition;
My mind is my Earth
Success holds its condition.

HOOK 3
In my life, (repeats)
I’m really living now (repeat)
I don’t flow?
You won’t see;
My fate…
And my destiny;
Oooh my destiny,
It’s all I got now (repeat)
(Repeat)
