My Life

[Intro]
Kato the Producer tag

[Verse 1]
I never grew up like the rest of the kids
My daddy left and we was broke, so mama stressin', again
Through a traumatic life, I developed Tourette's syndrome
Then got bullied about the shit; that took what was left in him
I used to go to school and come home
Witnessed my mother cry
She was alone with three kids struggling to survive
I would draw her little pictures, tryna get her to smile
Knowing that I had no control over what was about to go down
We lost the housе and the car
Had to beg for a ride
Couldn't keep a stablе home, living in Flint with no jobs
I used to pray before I sleep like, "I'm begging you, God!
Give us time before that fuckin' eviction notice arrives!"
But it did, got me thinking that maybe He didn't listen
But somehow, Mama still made miracles in the kitchen
She would sell her own shit to buy us presents on Christmas
If it's a million I make, it's a million she gets then

[Chorus]
I grew up not givin' a fuck, it's my life
Do what I want, but the world's not enough
If I could go back in time, I still wouldn't change a thing
Because living that life is what made me
I grew up not givin' a fuck, it's my life
Do what I want, but the world's not enough
If I could go back in time, I still wouldn't change a thing because living that life is what made me
It's my life

[Verse 2]
Before you knew it, we was moving again
Oh, well, I guess that means I gotta make some new friends
After a while it was nothing, just something that I expected
I never judged the decision; I was taught to respect it
You gotta live in the moment, gotta go with the flow
That's not a choice that we made, that's how it goes when you're broke
I used to go to school and get picked on for my clothes
Then got bullied for my Tourette's like I'm a fuckin' freak show
But I ain't crumble under pressure, them fuckers made a diamond
And I been using that fuel since I started fuckin' rhyming
And I ain't 'bout to stop even with your fuckin' comments
Talking shit about my music, bitch, remove yourself from it
Cuz you never did support me and I hope that hate enrages you
Boy so quick how the jealousy fuckin' changes you
Think about it like this:
What if your favorite rapper quit for thinking every time they were hated, too?

[Chorus]
I grew up not givin' a fuck, it's my life
Do what I want, but the world's not enough
If I could go back in time, I still wouldn't change a thing
Because living that life is what made me
I grew up not givin' a fuck, it's my life
Do what I want, but the world's not enough
If I could go back in time, I still wouldn't change a thing because living that life is what made me
It's my life

[Verse 3]
But nowadays, I control my own fate
Make my own money
Put food on my own plate
Got my own call
Now things are finally getting better
But it ain't because I'm special, it's because I put the effort into doing this shit
You know that I feel the pressure
So I go an extra measure, making sure that I'm clever
Enough to stay a step ahead cuz they are not on my level
I burn this fuckin' booth down like I spit a verse with the devil
I learned a lot over the years, I took a lotta shit
Like how to differ the real from all the counterfeits
I lost a lotta friends but gained some common sense
I learned from my mistakes and those mistakes ain't happened since
But most of all, it ain't about me now
I got a beautiful baby boy who makes his dad so proud
And I'm proud of my oldest, too
Every time I go to work I let him know that I love him and he's the man of the house

[Chorus]
I grew up not givin' a fuck, it's my life
Do what I want, but the world's not enough
If I could go back in time, I still wouldn't change a thing
Because living that life is what made me
I grew up not givin' a fuck, it's my life
Do what I want, but the world's not enough
If I could go back in time, I still wouldn't change a thing because living that life is what made me
It's my life
