7

8
This is my life, my life, my life, my life
9
Yo, what's the daily word?
10
You ever feel like giving everything up
11
And buying a boat so you can sail the world?
12
Aiyyo, what's really hood?
13
He got a gift with the lyrics
14
The beat is lifting your spirit when you ain't feeling good
15
Sometimes he feel like the whole world is turning on him
16
The people miserable and try to place they burdens on him
17
He revealing the truth like he a portal
18
A vampire sucked his blood, now he immortal
19
First he ignored then he worked the applause
20
He thirsty for more cause they loving how he perfectly flawed
21
Most of these rappers softer than the allure of Juicy Couture
22
And from the start he put his heart in every verse he record
23
Caused to perform for the corporation, he made a profit with Satan
24
Then got with the Beat Konducta for his Liberation
25
And for free at last till everybody started selling it
26
But him, he's like I need to see a piece of that
27
And get right with God, he knows his gift is a phenomenon
28
He catch it when it strike like a lightning rod
29
His rhymes are the spitting image he created us in
30
We getting paid in wages of sin
31
True, it's like death in a room
32
Every lie we ingest and consume
33
Is guaranteed to make us vegetables soon
34
Sometimes it's so hard, can't go on
35
Where did he lose his focus, where did he go wrong?
36
He should love his life, he got a loving wife at home
37
But still find himself roaming through the club at night
38
Kiss his children and they hug him tight
39
Gotta prove his love in family court tomorrow
40
'Cause he and they mother fight
41
These other artists really don't know what to make of him
42
So they afraid if him, they ain't breaking him
43
It's been over ten years since he gave you the blast
44
The ones that counted him out, they didn't do the math
45
The fans tell him he under-appreciated
46
Underrated and hated but he thankful they debated
47
Thankful that he made it to glory while some faded
48
Thankful that he keep it surreal while some fake it
49
Thankful for the skills that's keeping the family stable
50
Thankful for the meals he put on the family table
51
He pay the bills when he able and spend for pleasure when he can
52
This the true measure of a man
53
Some things he'll never understand, that's okay though
54
He know we're molded in the image of God like Play Doh
55
But still he wax philosophical like Aristotle
56
Maybe one day they'll come up with a better model
57
But till then, he the best there is
58
More than ten-thousand hours in
59
So that make him the specialist
60
Oh yeah, it's way more than relevance
61
It's classic, original, you remember this
