Talib Kweli, 9th Wonder, Rapsody - Life Ahead of Me lyrics

I got my whole life ahead of me
I got my whole life ahead of me
I got my whole life ahead of me
I got my whole life ahead of me

This path got hurdles
Smoke rappers to make up for the herbal
It's quite fertile after 4 months of murder
I push em to the edge
Now they sanity is sorta
Missin', I guess I'm that gifted
Why I never celebrated damn Christmas
I been the rap game wishlist
The morticians boomin' business
These bitches still bitchin'
Sad day for you, there's no love?
Here, you better ask grandma
She can pray for you you just pray to me
I just react like 8 Uzis
Blow holes in your plan like
Love to Ruby Dee in Sicily


I pray I'm just as strong as
On when I turn 60
Hope my health good and I ain't sickly
Pray with news, no other icons
Like we lost Whitney
And maybe you'll get my age right
Maybe one of these months
I'll sleep all night
And if I don't, it's alright
I got my whole life ahead of me
I know this world ain't heavenly
I'm just following this little recipe
I got my whole life ahead of me
I got my whole life ahead of me
I got my whole life ahead of me
I know this world ain't heavenly
I'm just following this lil' recipe

Stack chips like the treasury
Nigga swear they ballin' like they 7 feet
Like John Lennon, just let it be
(I got my whole life ahead of me)
I judge a man by his enemies
Rapsody my sister
9th my brother like the Everly's
Indie 5, the best emcees of recent memory
I'm a connector, that's my speciality
I'm a plug with the drugs like the Genovese
They try to kill the poor, I got the remedy
That's why I fought the law damn Kennedy's
They try to pull a rug right from under you
Buggin' you like a centipede
Even tho it tie the room
Together nicely like a centerpiece
Try to pretend you're passive
But actually act aggressively
Try to take away my energy
Save it like Dennis Eckersley
These niggas thirsty as a
Speech was in Tennessee
You girl messaged me
Calling me bae like the Chesapeake
But never stop testing me
But their chances of besting of
Me is futile as
Looking for some honour in a den of thieves
Black Star my body of work is heavenly
Death tries it's best to keep up
Cause life's ahead of me
I got my whole life ahead of me
I got my whole life ahead of me
I got my whole life ahead of me
I know this world ain't heavenly
I'm just following this little recipe
I got my whole life ahead of me
I got my whole life ahead of me
I got my whole life ahead of me
I know this world ain't heavenly
I'm just following this lil' recipe

How slow can you be, I been killin' annually
I'm half beast machine
I guess Hills or Jeans make a difference
If they listen or pay
Attention, I'm in adventure, fuck you niggas
If I had a penis
Your penis would be hard as a brick is
Say I'm king on some rap shit
But my gender got them tender
I recognize y'all lies
And understand it ain't even, ain't no 5+5's
Ain't no more cries like Mary Blige and them
Pressure part of the process
Like all them diamonds been
So what I’m finding is the
More they keep rhyming they break promises
I never like a female
Rapper that ain't honest, if it now
If they never saw my profile
They probably picture me with a image
That do resemble dissing like cymbals
Make much noise and rejoice with Cristal
We found the next boy but not really, though
I'm still killin' them easy
Like eenie miny moe
I got my whole life ahead of me
I know this world ain't heavenly
I'm just following this little recipe
I got my whole life ahead of me
I got my whole life ahead of me
I got my whole life ahead of me
I know this world ain't heavenly
I'm just following this lil' recipe
I got my whole life ahead of me
I got my whole life ahead of me
I got my whole life ahead of me
I know this world ain't heavenly
I'm just following this lil' recipe
I got my whole life ahead of me
I got my whole life ahead of me
I got my whole life ahead of me
I got my whole life ahead of me
I got my whole life ahead of me
I got my whole life ahead of me
