This Is My Life

[Intro]
Chyea. People are always asking
"What is the meaning of life?"
And uh my personal philosophy is that
Life is what you make it
You choose what you want the meaning of your life to be
So, this is my life
Let me talk to 'em

[Verse 1]
The story of my life is weaved in harmony and artistry
This music is a part of me like blood is to an artery
Hardest go the farthest less abrasive in my armory
I love being an artist but this industry has hardened me
Underappreciated, it could be scene related
Every album's been fire and I never deviated
But my fans alleviate it, they feel my pain I paint it
On the tapestry of music and through every lyric stated
My struggle is abated though my hunger isn't sated
I'm a man full of emotion though it's rare to hear me say it
I'm getting stopped for pictures now I think I might be famous
But these DJs never play me like they don't know what my name is
I guess you're slow dummy, my flow is so money
And I'm slicker with the pen than half these rock and roll dunnies
But I'm sick of slow money, and in need of more honeys
I think it's time to sell out for that pop and show money, oh!

[Hook]
Don't do it man (nah)
Don't do it man (nah)
Don't do it man
Nah don't do it (why not?)
This is my life, this is my life!
This is my life, this is my life!
And I hustle hard, paid my dues
Gained my fans, made the news
Twenty thou, sold the truth
Nowadays I’m hater-proof! (chyeeea!)
This is my life, this is my life
This is my life, this is my life

[Verse 2]
I’ll trade the stress and all the hours and the hate that runs with it
For the glory and the power and the fate that comes with it
Make money for the music not the other way around
But if I want to feed a mil I can't be broke and unrenowned
Rather die and be remembered than live and be forgotten
Can’t be rotting in a cubicle I’d rather get it popping
I’m flexing my abilities and teaching like a prophet
But it’s hard to find stability when speaking for a profit
People try to fool you when they think that they can manage it
Industry will screw you if you never practice abstinence
Labels with no plans signing artists with no fans
Even then they get the rawest deal 360 is a scam
Recoup at 8% so even gold you owe money
And no one's going gold these fans don't want to blow money
Now your label is losing weight they’re trying to eat your show money
Plus the merch, plus the sync until you're left with no money, oh!

[Hook]

[Verse 3]
I’m flowing hotter than a kettle now, handsome and in fettle now
Friends are always asking “Zuby, when you gonna settle down?”
Why? I don’t really see the rush
And unless you’re trying to wife me I don’t really see the fuss
To tour in every country and win a million Grammys
And drive a purple Lambo round a villa in Miami
A couple humble goals, a healthy way to please a family
So I’m cool being an uncle I don’t care to be a daddy
Or hubby or whatever honestly the thought puts fear in me
I’ll prolly tie it one day but the knot is not so near to me
Know that ambition’s probably bigger than a planet
You’ve never chased a vision then you wouldn’t understand it
Some say that I’m a dreamer cuz I say I want it all
There’s only one life to live and I’m not settling to crawl
That finished as a baby you get nothing if you I cry
I’m a grown ass man I’ll only get it if I try, so...

[Hook]
Go do it man (chyea!)
Go do it man (chyea!)
Go do it man
Yeah, go do it (hell yeah!)
This is my life, this is my life
This is my life, this is my life
And I'll hustle hard, pay my dues
Gain my fans, make the news
Hundred thou, sell the truth
Always gon’ be hater-proof! (chyeeea!)
This is my life, this is my life
This is my life, this is my life
