Hey baby
This is my life yeah

[Chorus:]
This is my life
Baby ohhh
This is life

[Verse 1:]
January 3, 1986
Busting out for the fix
Took my first steps
No clue at how physical life gets
Round uptown Calio projects
Whole life stopped when my daddy got popped
One shot to the head he was dead on the spot
Now I'm running around with my stomach in knots
Knowing memories is all I got

[Hook:]
Ohh nobody knows about the struggling I been through
That's why I hustle like I do
I gotta provide for my people
Yeah
And nigga I done worked too hard
I done came too far to loose
Can't stay still gotta stay on the move
Leave everyday with a point to prove

[Chorus:] [2x]
This is my life
Baby ohhh
This is life

[Verse 2:]
Mama jumped ship
Hoping shit gone change
Now I'm A-Town bound nigga down for the grain
I'm feeling like I'm loosing my sane
Cause nigga's round me been using cocaine
Now my dreams of fortune and fame won't be slain
Just gotta except that I'm on the road that was chose from above
Nigga love is pain

[Hook:]
Ohh nobody knows about the struggling I been through
That's why I hustle like I do
I gotta provide for my people
Yeah
And nigga I done worked too hard
I done came too far to loose
Can't stay still gotta stay on the move
Leave everyday with a point to prove

[Chorus:] [2x]
This is my life
Baby ohhh
This is life

[Verse 3:]
I go and know you been waiting for a long time
Shorty keep a strong grind
Never give up the sun don't shine
See I'm where I belong now yeah
(???)
Cause if the shit hits the fan and times get hectic
I'll fall to my knees and thank god that I'm blessed with
The strength to hold on and deliver the message
So?

[Hook:]
Ohh nobody knows about the struggling I been through
That's why I hustle like I do
I gotta provide for my people
Yeah
And nigga I done worked too hard
I done came too far to loose
Can't stay still gotta stay on the move
Leave everyday with a point to prove

[Chorus:] [2x]
This is my life
Baby ohhh
This is life
