Hook: how's life for an artist like me ?
Hows life for an artist like me?
Are things how I want things to be?
Are things linin up like they seem?
I said hows life for an artist like me?
Hows life for an artist like me?
Will these dreams turn to reality?
Will i stay independent stay free?
Verse: i used to walk around the block didn't really care about a clock
Didn't pay no mind to time , just had a worryfree mind
Liberation was mine, problems never aligned
Until i ran into some peers that shifted my thoughts shifted my walk
Shifted my ways, had me go for days
All day long tryna impress them but it was interestin
How i actually went along and listened to them
Didn't have my own mind, couldn't blame it on them
All the time, i could barely even comprehend or could even pretend
That my actions were good or worth it so i had a pointless fight and yea it was physical
Yea it was literal , had to start goin spiritual
Askin God what is my purpose and why was i here
Cuz i was at alternative school for the first half of the year
I was like God please tell me things i could do to change
He started removin bad energy , showin my enemies
You wanna know somethin ironic..my friends were my enemies
Had to watch out for the snakes that claimed they were kin of me
Even the ones i knew since elementary
Its scary cuz signs show
And time tells, and i know
Things change, people grow
Some dont , uh-oh
But i will, and i did
Went from wrecklessness to writin up in the crib
Makin this music, i got hella goofy
I know it sounds silly but my life is a movie
My two friends passed away both from the gunwounds
Long live bryant and chris , why they take you like this
They dont know life is precious
Seen many loved ones go
They say the good die young, i say the bad die slow
And if you think thats controversial i just want you to know
People stay bashin each other cuz they in a better position
But like kendrick be humble , for your position crumble
I said b thats gonna sting im not talkin bout bumble
I would love good recognition, positive mentions
Good shows good times with the music with the bros
I be stayin up all night writin and recitin
Goin into hidin while im editin and typin
Sampling and watchin all these great artists
Realizing im an artist , tryna be the biggest artist
Not tryna be the hardest
But i know ima shine regardless
, been doin this for too long to quit like i ain't start this
David killed Goliath with a stone
I'll kill these rappers with a bar or a poem
Not tryna even have beef but come on
Friendly competition always workin up my zone
This is the life i live , the life i accepted
The life that should be recognized and should be respected
Should begin to rise , and should be projected
See me progress before your eyes
Experience lows and highs
Watch me grind like michael jack ima remember the time
When i was like 8 maybe 9 or working a 9-5
Or 5 times over being irritated , frustrated, infuriated , sometimes hated questioning being created , and if ill ever make it
But i love myself , ive grown the confidence in my residence patience they be testin it
Keep on pushin , keep movin till the break of dawn , and at dawn im still movin, never stop groovin
On this thing called life, and im married to this music , this passion ill never lose it
Ahh I said this passion ill never lose it
