my life

And I'm grindin' til I'm tired
They say 'You ain't grindin' til you tired'
So I'm grindin' with my eyes wide
Looking to find
A way Through the day
A life For the night
Dear Lord, you've done took so many of my people
but I'm just wonderin' why
You haven't taken (my life? x3)
Like what the hell am I (doing right? x3)
(My Life x3)

Take me away from the hood like a state penitentiary
Take me away from the hood in the casket or a Bentley
Take me away
Like I overdosed on *******
Or take me away like a bullet from Kurt Cobain
Suicide (Suicide. .suicide..)
Im from a Windy City, like 'Do or Die'
From a block close to where Biggie was crucified
That was Brooklyns Jesus

And you wonder why Kanye wears Jesus pieces? (My Life x3)
Cause thats Jesus people
And The Game, hes the equal
Hated on so much, 'The Passion of Christ' need a sequel
Yeah, like Roc -a-fella needed Sigel
Like I needed my father, but he needed a needle (My Life x3)
I need some meditation, so I can leave my people
They askin “Why?' Why did John Lennon leave The Beatles?
And why every hood ***** feed off evil?
Answer my question before this bullet leave this Desert Eagle

And I'm grindin' til I' m tired
They say 'You ain't grindin' til you tired'
So I'm grindin' with my eyes wide
Looking to find
A way Through the day
A life For the night
Dear Lord, you've done took so many of my people
but I'm just wonderin' why
You haven't taken (my life? x3)
Like what the hell am I (doing right? x3)
(My Life x3)

We are not the same, I am a Martian
So approach my Phantom doors with caution
You see them 24s spinnin? I earned them
And all the pictures of me and Em, I burned them
So there aint no proof that I ever walked through 8 Mile
And since there aint no Proof, I never walked through 8 Mile
Sometimes I think about my life with my face down
Then I see my sons and put on that Kanye smile (My Life x3)
Damn, I know his mommas proud
And since you helped me sell my dream, we can share my momma now
And like MJB, 'No More Drama' now
Livin' the +good life+, me and Common on common ground
I spit crack and *** *** could drive it outta town
Gotta Chris Paul mind state, Im never outta bounds
My life used to be empty like a glock without a round
Now my life full, like a chopper with a thousand rounds (Gunshots)

And I'm grindin' til I'm tired
They say 'You ain't grindin' til you tired'
So I'm grindin' with my eyes wide
Looking to find
A way Through the day
A life For the night
Dear Lord you've done took so many of my people
but I'm just wonderin' why
You haven't taken (my life? x3)
Like what the hell am I (doing right? x3)
(My Life x3)

Walk through the gates of Hell, see my Impala parked in front
The high beams on, me and the Devil share chronic blunts
Listening to the 'Chronic' album, playing backwards
Shootin' at pictures of Don Imus for target practice

Made my grandmother pray for good
And never made her happy, when I bet that new Mercedes could (My Life x3)
Aint no bars, but ****** cant escape the hood
They took so many of my ****** , that I should hate the hood
But its real ****** like me, that make the hood
Ridin slow in that Phantom just the way I should (My Life x3)
With the top back
In my Sox hat
Im paid in full, the ***** Alpo couldnt stop that
Even if they brought the ***** Pac back

And I' m grindin' til I'm tired
They say 'You ain't grindin' til you tired'
So I'm grindin' with my eyes wide
Looking to find
A way Through the day
A life For the night
Dear Lord you've done took so many of my people
but I'm just wonderin' why
You haven't taken (my life x3)
Like what the hell am I (doing right? x3)
(My Life x3)
(My Life x3)
(My Life x3)
(My Life x3)
