m y . l i f e lyrics

[J. Cole:]

Oh, you came there, God

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Oh, Lord

No matter how, no matter how long it take, yeah

No matter how long it take, nigga

Oh, God, yeah

You better be

Spiralin' up, just like a rich nigga staircase (Spiral up)

No fly zone, please stay the fuck out my airspace (Out my face)

Niggas say things behind backs that they wouldn't dare say (Dare say)

Know it's on sight when I see you, I'm workin' at Squarespace

Yeah, top of the mornin', I know that you thought I was dormant

Woke up early from shots that were swarmin'

A block full of opps, now the cops in an orbit

Guess somebody got popped, now they knockin' on doors

Tryna find an informant but I ain't see nathin'

I'm mindin' my business as God is my witness

No weapon gon' prosper that's formin' against me

Nigga, I'm starvin', immensely

Know when I'm done with these songs, you gon' miss me

Ja Morant, I'm on my Grizzly

You niggas just cubs but no, not the ones in the big leagues

After The Fall Off, I promise I'm comin' to sellin' out Wrigley's

Nigga, I'm just a product of poverty, full of narcotics to profit off quickly

My family tree got a history of users that struggle with demons

Not really the hustler instincts

Therefore, often, my pockets was empty

So while some of my partners was servin' up rocks on the corners, the project assemblies

Me, I was startin' to envy, wanna be on the top where it's plenty

Wanna be in the spot like where every bitch want me like Rihanna droppin' new Fenty

What I see in the sky, the 'Ville is the ceilin', can't reach up too high, evidently

Nah, shit, I can't reach up too high, evidently

Never seen no one drivin' a Bentley

I can't be out here moppin' up Wendys

[Morray & J. Cole:]

My life is all I have

My rhymes, my pen, my pad

And I done made it out the struggle, don't judge me

What you sayin' now won't budge me

'Cause where I come from (Come from), so often (So often)

People you grow up with layin' in a coffin

But I done made it through the pain and strife

It's my time now, my world, my life, my life

[21 Savage:]

Say what? The stuff that I've seen got me traumatized

I let the K go when Johnny died

Swangin' that muhfucka' side to side

We don't participate, ain't with that squashin' shit, all we believe in is homicide

I got a good heart, so I send teddy bears every time we make they mommas cry

I pray that my past ain't ahead of me (21)

When I'm in love, I love heavily (On God)

If you betray me, you dead to me (21)

I disrespect you respectfully (Straight up)

I got some partners who left this Earth

Maybe the pain made a better me (On God)

Just know that they secrets is kept with them (On God)

I feel like the streets is in debt with me (Straight up)

I gave my heart away to all the dawg hoes 'cause that's who accepted me (21)

I blame my pops for that shit 'cause if he didn't fail, he could've corrected me (21)

Give all the props to my momma 'cause no matter what, she always protected me (On God)

I promise you, it ain't no checkin' me (On God)

Jump in the water, get wet with me (Straight up, 21, 21)

You want my money or wanna have sex with me?

Can't let the opps or the law get the best of me

I get to answerin', you get to textin' me

I see chicken, you niggas is breast to me

Planted a seed but it ain't a sesame

Can't let you niggas or bitches grow next to me

[Morray & J. Cole:]

My life is all I have

My rhymes, my pen, my pad

And I done made it out the struggle, don't judge me

What you sayin' now won't budge me

'Cause where I come from (Come from), so often (So often)

People you grow up with layin' in a coffin

But I done made it through the pain and strife

It's my time now, my world, my life, my life
