Life Songtext
von Rasheed Chappell

Life, I wonder
Will it take me under? I don′t know


I show you life before the limelight, life before the deal
Life from the front lines, it's life from the field
Life with no lights on, it′s life without a shield
Life before the stop sign, 'cause life don't yield
Pregnant baby mama, baby crying for a meal
Father hungry for a better way, I′m trying to find a will
Trying to find a job, and I′m trying to find some wheels
Trying to focus on my schoolwork and focus on a skill
Music just a dream, gotta focus on the real
Fuck focus on a lot, gotta focus on a lil'
Empty ′frigerator, gotta focus on these bills
Throw blankets over windows, hope it block us from the chill
Cardi and the vodka, mama chasing them with pills
Pops chased by his demons, threatening to kill
These are the things that they left me with to build
And I often try to block it out but wrestle with it still
Numb from this life shit, forgot that I should feel
Forgot that I should stand, life seducing me to kneel
Tasted temptation seducing me in heels
Sipped from mirages, my thirst wasn't filled
Found poetry in poverty, my prophecy revealed
Soul wasn′t signed, and my fate wasn't sealed
I can focus on the pain or try to find a heal
I can focus on the climb up or ride down the hill
Sun without rain is a joy that isn′t real
Joy becomes empty if tears aren't spilled
And there's no shield for this thing called life
Life′s about choices, be sure to choose life


Life, I wonder
Will it take me under? I don′t know
Pregnant baby mama, baby crying for a meal
Father hungry for a better way, I'm trying to find a will
This is life
Cardi and the vodka, mama chasing them with pills
Pops chased by his demons, threatening to kill
This is life, this is life
Joy becomes empty if tears aren′t spilled
And there's no shield for this thing called life
This is life
I show you life from the front lines, life from the field
Life without a stop sign, ′cause life don't yield
This is life, I wonder
Pregnant baby mama, baby crying for a meal
Father hungry for a better way, I′m trying to find a will
Focus on my schoolwork and focus on a skill
Music just a dream, gotta focus on the real
This is life, I wonder
Will it take me under? I don't know
I don't know, I don′t know
Will it take me under? I don′t know
This is life
This is life
This is life
