My Life

[Verse 1]
Yo, yo, I'm the same as you, cuzzy, never forget that
I paid dues, now people owe me, let me collect that
Made moves, breddas were only pissed they were left back
I made some wrong decisions, now really, I'm on the get back
It could've been detrimental but it was just a setback
A loss is only loss if you fail to learn, don't forget that
Decisions are there to be made, B, never regret that
From the bottom, prospered from all the chances I leapt at
Copped a home, then copped a convertible in jet black
If I'm guilty of anthin', it's progression, B, respect that
Started in the gutter, B, but people tend to forget that
Said I'm from the gutter, B, I will never forget that (Yeah)

[Chorus]
I just wanna make somethin' out of my life
They say I'm a star, don't you wanna see me shine bright?
I been livin' hard
You will feel me if you've honestly endeavored pain
All I'm hearin', when you blow, promise me you'll never change (Yeah)
I just wanna make somethin' out of my life
They say I'm a star, don't you wanna see me shine bright?
I been livin' hard
You will feel me if you've honestly endeavored pain
All I'm hearin', when you blow, promise me you'll never change

[Verse 2]
Funny part is when they say, "Look at Smiler, he made it"
Saw my black face on the tele or heard my song on the playlist
They heard that I'm performin' and heard I'm murderin' stages
But never ever do they support or learn what the game is
They only speculate and assume I'm earnin' the papers
Does it count for anythin'? I've been workin' for ages
They only see the glory, the graft is just miscellaneous
Askin' 'bout my jewels and how much I paid for my trainers
The ones who never helped and said, "Joseph, watch when you're famous
Who comes out the blue, the same people that's tryna claim us"
It's ironic, plus I can hear them yearnin' for favours
A dozen palms out sayin', "Minor, Smiler's a bathers" (Yeah)

[Chorus]
I just wanna make somethin' out of my life
They say I'm a star, don't you wanna see me shine bright?
I been livin' hard
You will feel me if you've honestly endeavored pain
All I'm hearin', when you blow, promise me you'll never change (Yeah)
I just wanna make somethin' out of my life
They say I'm a star, don't you wanna see me shine bright?
I been livin' hard
You will feel me if you've honestly endeavored pain
All I'm hearin', when you blow, promise me you'll never change

[Outro]
Yeah, if fate is uncontrollable, lately, B, I've been prayin'
Takin' back my statements, there's certain things I been sayin'
Repentin' for the dangerous games that Smiler's been playin'
The streets are full of bullsht, if I ain't workin', I stay in
'Cause God sent me a blessin', I'm due to be a father
Kenzo if a boy, if a baby girl, it's Nahla
It's not the way I chose it, divine, it's from the father
But if it is my callin', there's nothin' I would rather
