What’s Life?

what’s life, a dash between two years

That’s life, trying to make it to the new year

Think twice, what we trying to do here

so brave, that’s before I knew fear

Old head, I’m the one new here

Confused, I don’t know what to do here

momma fighting, cancer got a tight grip

Third or fourth time, always on her fight shit,

Lost her voice, wish it never done that

By her side, if you asking where her son at

If it were me, would I be strong enough to fight back

Or take an easy out, wonder how I might act

Chorus:

never been afraid, live life pushing limits

move fast and furious, never to a speed limit

Red line, watch it pass triple digits

Road blocks, that’s where I gotta pivot

I’ll be the realest who ever did it,

I done got it, for those who thought I’d never get it,

I done did it, my hustle stay relentless

wake up moving, no time for breakfast

Verse 2:

A younger me, never thought I'd see 30

Cuz I was so grimy, living life so dirty

Like Tupac, destined to die early,

Momma tripping, didn't know she was just worried

Imagine, a younger brother getting buried

I use to wish, momma would have miscarried

I never told momma, I was freaking out

I couldn't stop, the pain from seeping out,

I couldn’t stop the tears, from leaking out

Midnight, 13 and I’m sneaking out

Trying to be grown, only 13

In the streets fighting like the mujahideen

Chorus:

never been afraid, live life pushing limits

move fast and furious, never to a speed limit

Red line, watch it pass triple digits

Road blocks, that’s where I gotta pivot

I’ll be the realest who ever did it,

I done got it, for those who thought I’d never get it,

I done did it, my hustle stay relentless

wake up moving, no time for breakfast
