AKIR - This Is Your Life lyrics

Yo, I don’t know who the fuck
You think you’re dealing with
Man nah, stop the crying i
Can’t take this no more
Man all I do is bring food
Home to these kids i got
A roof over your head and
You watch fucking soap
Operas all day and lay on your ass
And you’re gonna tell me about me? Yo, fuck
This shit man, I’m out of here b
I’m out hey!

Yo, they say that we’re endangered
Species aKIR’s thesis is
To survive ten times ten not in a ten by ten
Ten times out of ten, they got a plan for my
Hard rocks that have not had
Babies that start again
He stole her love how could she
Ever give her heart again?


She opened up he closed the door
Never had sparks again
Went through some men to
Validate she’s a queen
Never found a king the pain made
Her turn to a fiend feeling low
Getting high the only way she sees dreams
Stays at home, watching soaps
Thinks she part of the screen
To get away from a day
And the kid’s hunger screams, she buys
Something fly
Though it seems out of her mean yo, behind
She still gets ahead this dude was real red
Something on his head plus
She liked the way he worked it
In bed thirsting to wed
Settle down is what did
And so she did it too
Simply to fight the ridicule
He made her life miserable except the kids
Of course so they got a divorce up
In court child support
Hearings bad as Hell and the
Only pair of earrings
Chanel perfume while her suit was crisp
Splitting she screams, "From the beginning
Situations was trife"
The judge says, "I don’t care
Bitch this is your life"

Even though there’s trouble
We’ll still be on the hustle
Stuck behind the struggle
We’re still ready to rumble
Although we built it up
It’s still ready to crumble
Foundation ain’t tight, man
This is your life
Forever in the game, it’s hard not to fumble
Trying to maintain or strive
But still stumble
Rocking big chains, it’s hard to stay humble
Forever in a fight, child, this is your life

First step behind the eight
Ball can’t even crawl
Ain’t no time to watch your
Back thoughts of that caught
Some cats, so cautious acts come out as fear
Big dogs in your ear with
Their 40s of beer become
Accessories to your New Year freshman year
Situation cloudy as a child but now clear
Problems seem distance but they’re still near
House needs money for diapers uncle’s a lifer
Pops left fast no gas left in your lighter
Moms getting high, listening to Earth
Wind & Fire
Old-timers tell you how they always
Dreamed to retire before
Their life expires doing wild shit
Made you a livewire
Looking for fame, pops dropped the ball
Sub in the game your terrain
So you’re doing your thing
Big chains and lots of women
Lock chains and switching linen
It’s only the beginning losing your
Mind to keep winning
And while you focus on immediate living
They’re having
Children and classmates focus on
Glass ceilings only to
Clear up their debt without
Facing arrest the streets
Got you pet niggas, so you’re wearing a vest
Stress internally hexed by
Society’s death threats
Born in the struggle, always
Grew up in trouble, where niggas
Snuff you just to prove their
Muscle live for their money
To double in bundles
Ready to die for their hustle

Even though there’s trouble
We’ll still be on the hustle
Stuck behind the struggle
We’re still ready to rumble
Although we built it up
It’s still ready to crumble
Foundation ain’t tight, man
This is your life
Forever in the game, it’s hard not to fumble
Trying to maintain or strive
But still stumble
Rocking big chains, it’s hard to stay humble
Forever in a fight, child, this is your life
