My Life (Alter Ego) Parts 1, 2 & 3

{​Part 1}​
[Verse One]
I was born on a midtown street corner
The lovechild of an inner city street performer
And when I came I brought about a change in the times
The kick, snare and bass line were my vital signs
Speaking universal tone that you relate with
And built a following that many take as sacred
Presently my family tree is in the millions
Of every demographic, men, women even children
Building upon me, they had the choice to speak
And 20 years later now the voice of the street
For any who seek, involvement in it
My life revolves 33 and a third times per minute
For many lives that I've touched it's such a short span
Enabling the youth to follow this career plan
In the art to tell us what's in the heart
So many stories I can share, know where to start

[Hook]
Cause this is my life
This is my life on wax
My life over 24 tracks that slide
The music is my life let it be my guide
Cause this is my life may it never be denied
This is my life
This is my life and the laws that I must abide
The life and the living that I shall provide
See this is my life

[Verse Two]
My address is 1212 Beat Street and I'm never relocating
My thoughts travel around the world without translation
I stay alive as long as people keep on creating
My days are based upon 24 tracks for every hour in the day
The night dominates the life
My prophets profit off of elevate and insight
I made a living and a killing off of gripping mics
I give the youth of today the motivation to achieve and succeed
In ways the world has never seen
The passport done traveled around the world to chase a dream
Deliverance from the projects to the esteem
My ancestors saw me as an outcast and they doubted I could last
Now I DOMINATE society
Incorporating music in all it's entirety
You know who I am, this is my biography

[Hook]
Cause this is my life
This is my life on wax
My life over 24 tracks that slide
The music is my life let it be my guide
Cause this is my life may it never be denied
This is my life
This is my life and the laws that I must abide
The life and the living that I shall provide
See this is my life

{​Part 2}​
[Verse One]
My life is half soul, half rock'n'roll
Half my people have sold platinum or gold
'Bout 30 years old and I'm still in here
And I still bring fear when my name appear
I am the DJ's and the true MC's
I am the B-Boys and graffiti
I am the epiphany of ghetto street symphony
They mention me
A scapegoat with no identity
Frequently, many accuse me of indecency
Grown folks say I'm nothing more than obscenities
A remedy for poverty
As an outlet
I reflect on how loud the sound get
Writing riddles and I speak in bars
The result brings money, jewels, stars and cars
But my heartbeat hum like an 808 drum
I told y'all, where ya at, not where ya from

[Hook]
This is my life
This is my life on wax
The life that I represent on CD
It's the life that you won't see on TV
This ain't hip hop y'all this is me
This is my life
And I rock rock on
And I rock rock on
What? This is my life
And I rock rock on
And I rock rock on

[Verse Two]
Where I live is always the place to be
When I speak it's always through an MC
How I survived long eating off break beats
When I need to hear in my ear straight through the street
You can hear my voice roll through the concrete
And if you're feeling the bass, then you feeling me
I am, what keep you up late at night
I bring Big, 'Pac, Pun and L back to life
I am the very soul of a whole generation
Front line when it come time for player hating
I am what Uncle Sam claim to be
And this is my autobiography

[Hook]
This is my life
This is my life on wax
The life that I represent on CD
It's the life that you won't see on TV
This ain't hip hop y'all this is me
This is my life
And I rock rock on
And I rock rock on
What? This is my life
And I rock rock on
And I rock rock on

{​Part 3}​
This is my life
This is my life on wax
Before there were CD or MP3
Before B.E.T. or M.T.V
Before the Internet gave it away for free

Nah, this is my life
This is my life on wax
The life represented by the M.I.C
The mic I present to you in 3D
My life is much more than just R.A.P

Nah, this is my life
Remember that you came from me
I'm the only reason that you ever came to be

This is my life, yeah right
Yeah, I came from you
But the things that I do make dreams come true

This is my life, my time, my blood and sweat
Not rock, not dance, not discotheque
Over wack CD, audio cassette
Hip hop or rap music don't you ever forget

[Hook]
Cause this is my life
This is my life on wax
My life over 24 tracks that slide
The music is my life let it be my guide
See this is my life may it never be denied
This is my life
This is my life on wax
The life that I represent on CD
It's the life that you won't see on TV
This ain't hip hop y'all this is me

My life
