My Life

So this is my story. Really this is my life
98. That's the year of the great. That's the year I was made
A couple years forward, I was chilling back in London
Little bit conundrum
It's where the music started
Young boy so devoted
It's where my life connected
So lemme talk about it
7 years later, moving like a major
Calgary's new creator
Middle of the radar
Had a couple failures
Got back. I'm stronger
Feeling so much greater
Lyrical terminator
See. Back then is when I started to write
I was hiding in the shadows now I'm bringing out the light
I know when I began it all started as a child's play
Never crossed my mind that I could do it for another day
God amongst men. Not me, it's what the bible says
And that's what I am today
Opportunity's been knocking on my door
It's not because I'm better than before
Cuz in reality, the greed has got the best of me
Always got me wanting more
There's people doing less and getting more
People dying for the things they fighting for
Things come back around. I won't force it
It's time that I started doing more
And true say I've been waiting till it's my time
I'll let the time pass until it's my time
Begging for my life for the ninth time
Only dropping bars. Thank God I ain't doing time
Friends teasing that I'm going up to majors
And instead of getting paid, I'm doing favors
But that's the real way mummy raised us
See, I spiced up the game with different flavors
Taste it, admit it. The best that I've created
And no, I wasn't born to live this life so basic
And no, I wasn't born to leave this life without changing it
I speak upon the thoughts of a nation
Too afraid to make a change
Too afraid to rearrange
Too afraid like we're stuck in a cage
But speak up cuz the world's your stage
I didn't plan to go deep when I was writing this
But something moved me at the point that I was writing this
Like I'm posed to hit a target with the way I spit
So quick pause, lemme drop off the rhyming scheme
I've seen a lot happen. I never like to talk about it
And because of that, they think I'm unaware
But true say, I don't know where to start
And really, I don't know where to end
We talk about the things, but who's gonna make it go away
Who's gonna be the one to stop the people being afraid
Bad things happen. Well, I learned to live with it
Turn to the man in the sky. Period
And for the ones that live their whole life backwards
Gotta tell you this is war spelt backwards
Gotta tell you this is straight from the cut
Gotta live my life. No backwards
Hours. Sitting back and counting all the hours
Now we gotta fight just to take what's ours
Cut a couple throats just to get the finest
I keep a cold flow just to fight these fires. Oh my God
