My Life Lyrics by B.o.B
(Intro)
Yo
I got some shit I need to get off my chest
So just shut the fuck up and listen
(Hook)
The realest shit I ever wrote in my life
In my life… In my life…
In my life… In my life…
In my life… In my life…
The realest shit I ever wrote in my life
In my life… In my life…
In my life… In my life…
In my life… In my life, my life, my life…
(Verse)
Time and time again I aks myself, who’s listening?
Who feels my pain, who feels my thoughts?
Who’s on the road that I’m travelling?
But I can’t complain, these are just my words
You would feel the same if you was in my skin
If you was in my shoes and you in all the days that I wear
Struggling and hustling
If you spend all the nights that my momma cried
Those endless nights, those weary eyes
Everyone in the house would just fuss and fight
Creeping over furniture, grabbing knives
We call the cops, they done come again
All the things in life I couldn’t comprehend
We ignored our problems, we just pretend
Like they wasn’t there, like they didn’t exist
In east side Decatur, our situation made us react the way that we did
All the nights that we had the friends
Oh no, what an up, here’s come the wind
On a stormy night, hit a flooded house
I can still hear the raindrops pouring in
And they pourin in, pourin in
I can still hear the raindrops pouring in
(Hook)
The realest shit I ever wrote in my life
In my life… In my life…
(I can still hear the raindrops pouring in)
In my life… In my life…
In my life… In my life…
The realest shit I ever wrote in my life
In my life… In my life…
In my life… In my life…
In my life… In my life, my life, my life…
(Verse)
That’s why my attitude is fuck the world
I see most of these rappers as a bunch of girls
Scary ass niggas, just a poltergeist
Get these niggas off stage like an open mic
Niggas know who I am behind the music
Even when they go I’mma still be here
I done made mo money off a single album
Than you’ll probably ever see throughout yo whole career
Yall ain’t boss, yall light weight
We smoke pounds, yall pound cake
That’s my real niggas, don’t fuck with yall
Yall sweet to air like soundscapes
And the crazy thing about it
I ain’t gotta do this rap shit
I could make a million off of royalties
And turn around and buy the rights to yo masters
I ain’t got a do the fate, my song is full of goons
And my squads who appear to be bolder
I’m from the hood but I ain’t from the street
I took a different path, the one that lasted longer
And now I’m straight for life
Now my team has eaten
And it’s all I owe and that’s the way I see it
So leave me the fuck alone and let me smoke this blunt to myself this evening
(Hook)
The realest shit I ever wrote in my life
In my life… In my life…
(Let me smoke this blunt to myself this evening)
In my life… In my life…
In my life… In my life…
The realest shit I ever wrote in my life
In my life… In my life…
In my life… In my life…
In my life… In my life, my life, my life…
(Verse)
Where am I supposed to be?
Am I supposed to smile? Am I supposed to greet her?
Should I assault more robbers? None fretling
Oh Bobby Ray, you’re so cool and you rasp
All that other garbage, you don’t talk like that
Meanwhile I just left the strip club and now I’ll go
Now I’m thinkin bout turnin back
Tell me who’s the author that writes the script
And what it means to be, to be lyricist
Obviously I’m in a league of my own
So I don’t get it fitted if I ain’t on yo list
This takes me back, back in the day
Off Ken Leroe when I was broke as shit
Failed every test, every class I skipped
I was in my zone with a pad and pen
I didn’t understand, I was just a kid
So misunderstood, never had a friend
I was so depressed, always affected
Here I go, contemplating suicide again
I was all alone, I was out of touch
Little did I know, man I was out of sight
So I kept my headphones all the way turned up
Waiting for the moment when the time is right, now the time is right
(Hook)
The realest shit I ever wrote in my life
In my life… In my life…
(now the time is right)
In my life… In my life…
In my life… In my life…
(Waiting for the moment when the time is right, now the time is right)
The realest shit I ever wrote in my life
In my life… In my life…
In my life… In my life…
In my life… In my life, my life, my life…
