The Life(Album Version Edit|Explicit) - Styles

My life Pharoahe Monch Ayatollah
Holiday Styles Double R Rawkus Records
Pharoahe talk to 'em let 'em try to understand
Let 'em try let 'em try now
My life is all I have
My rhymes my pen my pad
And I done made it through the struggle don't judge me
What you say now won't budge me
'Cause where I come from so often
People you grew up with layin in a coffin
But I done made it through the pain in spite
It's my time now my world my life
My life
Is based on lightin blunts loadin guns
Tellin my lawyers to get the case gone （uh-huh）
I need the bills that the presidents got they face on
So I can switch my residence - get a truck and a Lex
F**k a check I no longer have to wait for 'em
I made a couple ends lost a couple friends
I light a blunt 'cause never will the struggle end
So you can judge a ni**a but you ain't got it you ain't in the role
So you really can't budge a ni**a - you oughta love a ni**a
For the fact that it's my world and my life but still I'm a rugged ni**a
They say you buggin ni**a f**k it I'm a thuggin ni**a
You talkin b******t then kick it with another ni**a
I got a bigger bed and I need a cover ni**a
And I ain't got friends - I got enemies
So if they with me then that means they my brother niggaz
My life is all I have
My rhymes my pen my pad
And I done made it through the struggle don't judge me
What you say now won't budge me
'Cause where I come from so often
People you grew up with layin in a coffin
But I done made it through the pain in spite
It's my time now my world my life
My life
Is a blunt to the head a prayer for the dead
Run around hustlin scared of the feds
They said death is eternal sleep
But the only thing is you ain't really sure if you prepared for the bed
So often we get merked in the head instead of big money
They got big momma hurtin instead
My life is makin the verse - but the handcuffs
The bullpens the jail cells is makin it worse
Tell mom I don't go to the church - tell Haq I don't' go to Mosque
I blow blunts hold guns and I'ma be right there when the soldiers'll march
I play the part and my heart seem colder than March
But on the flipside of things it's still warmer than June
I have talks with the Lord and he'll be callin me soon what
And my life is all I have - my family my niggaz my flow my grabs what
My life is all I have
My rhymes my pen my pad
And I done made it through the struggle don't judge me
What you say now won't budge me
'Cause where I come from so often
People you grew up with layin in a coffin
But I done made it through the pain in spite
It's my time now my world my life
My life
My life
