Lyrics
[VERSE 1]
You got a baby boy barely sleeps 3 hours a night, but you love
him ‘cause this is your life/ School yard bullies throwing you down
making you want to fight, it bites but it’s your life/ You never know
what you’re going to get handed/ Just know that you’re never lone
stranded/ Everybody gets labelled and branded/ Way it is even though
you can’t stand it/ Had to by *grunts* ‘cause you can’t afford Nikes?/
Been there too, got the same life/ Caught your best friend all up in your
wife?/ Brah, get counselling, maintain your life/ You always gotta
stretch and reach/ In the streets this is how some kids eat/ Rob or steal,
kill or be killed/ It’s sick but it’s all too real.
[CHORUS]
It’s a day to day hustle, it’s a life time struggle/ Can’t fall into
these in the streets trouble/ Shows gotta bubble, this loot gotta double/
Run hard never fumble, this is life/ Yours mine, this is is life/ Theirs
too, this is life/ For my crew, this is life/ Day to day, this is what we
do!
[VERSE 2]
Walking down the aisle with my wife and child/ The smiles on
my daughter and son show I’ve become/ Humble to some, servant to
one, slicker the tongue, sipping the rum, the wicked are done/ Catch
fresh and lift the weight off my chest/ Results get greater the more I
invest, YES!/ My Gang Starrs Manifest through bars, pen and Ipads/
Coming up we had nothing like that/ Cattles bells means the beefs
coming/ Better keep something, unique treats I’m running/ One
hundred, sometimes even thousands/ See all this ish I’m compiling/
Running down barriers through 5G carriers/ Sending these letters to
graphic artists and editors/ Let it be known, let be shown, reap and you
sow, reach and you grow, teach and you show…This is life!
[CHORUS]
This is what we do, do what you gotta do.
This ain’t a game, this is life!
