"My Life" lyrics
(feat. Meek Mill)
[K. Michelle:]
My life, my life
Isn't my life
What you know 'bout the grind in the street?
He move and work out of town every week
I know about it, I know about it
What y'all know 'bout them girls on the pole?
She make her money every night
Taking off her clothes
I know about it, yup, I know about it
'Cause all my life I've been struggling and stressing
That's why I come up in this bitch with aggression
Where I'm from niggas die every day
Bet you ain't seen a nigga die right in ya face
The life, the life
The sacrifice, the grind, the grind
You get sometimes, I know about it
Don't judge if you know nothing 'bout it
You try and try to live right
But we get blinded by the life, I know about it
Don't judge if you know nothing 'bout it
These niggas turning hoes into wives
Went in raw now you stuck with her for life
I know about it
Bet y'all know something about it
Three years he been doing the same thing
You can hang it up you'll never get a ring
'Cause I know about it
Bet I know some thing about it
'Cause all my life I've been struggling and stressing
That's why I come up in this bitch with aggression
Where I'm from it ain't flowers and candy
I'm just happy the life didn't get me
The life, the life
The sacrifice, the grind, the grind
You get sometimes, I know about it
Don't judge if you know nothing 'bout it
You try and try to live right
But we get blinded by the life, I know about it
Don't judge if you know nothing 'bout it
[Meek Mill:]
I said, "The life. The life."
The streets are a bitch and I made her my wife
I made her my wife
I couldn't afford but I made her my price
'Cause under the lights, the money, the cars
Even the ice, I wanted it all
Some nights, we were up selling the raw
And ducking them D from a hell of charges
I wanted to shine amongst with the stars
I wanted to grind. They're telling me, "Nah."
I felt like these niggas was telling me, "Starve."
My mama. She told me, "I'm headed for bars."
Bars. And where did it take me?
To a cell and a yard
Running bar with the killers
Talking fellas and all
[K. Michelle:]
The life, the life
The sacrifice, the grind, the grind
You get sometimes, I know about it
Don't judge if you know nothing 'bout it
You try and try to live right
But we get blinded by the life, I know about it
Don't judge if you know nothing 'bout it
My life, my life
Isn't my life
What you know 'bout the grind in the street?
He move and work out of town every week
I know about it, I know about it
What y'all know 'bout them girls on the pole?
She make her money every night
Taking off her clothes
I know about it, yup, I know about it
'Cause all my life I've been struggling and stressing
That's why I come up in this bitch with aggression
Where I'm from niggas die every day
Bet you ain't seen a nigga die right in ya face
The life, the life
The sacrifice, the grind, the grind
You get sometimes, I know about it
Don't judge if you know nothing 'bout it
You try and try to live right
But we get blinded by the life, I know about it
Don't judge if you know nothing 'bout it
These niggas turning hoes into wives
Went in raw now you stuck with her for life
I know about it
