Used To Be My Life Lyrics

[Bridge]
Used to be my life was just emotions passing by
Feeling all the while and never really knowing why

[Chorus 1]
(Used to be my life)
Full of herb concealing
Was just the feeling that I got from dealing in
(Used to be my life)
That full of nuff risk taking
A lot of mistakes that made me put some breaks on what
(Used to be my life)
Full up girls that cheating
And friends misleading
While the good ones leaving out
(Used to be my life)
It used to be my life
It used to be my life-life-life-life

[Verse 1]
Chisel fell asleep underground
Deh under dirt, under grass me sunday pass
Cyaa figet him sunday mass
When dem play him underneath, under wreath
Him put me onto beats
I cyaa figet, the man respect
Plot my coordinates
Over instruments like pilots do
When di vision get blurry
I envision if curry must get him out in a hurry
Can imagine seh me best friend dirt-day
At the same day as me sister birthday
It hurt me
It mek me smile
It mek me cry
Happy seh one born
Me vex seh one gone
A 2 365 days since him gone
Then at 3:55, 56 in the morning
When i carry to him graveside and play for him
Pray for him
And this is what I say to him

[Chorus 2]
I do it all for you
It's for the few
Who got me through
When I thought I'd lose it now
When it was just my music
And just my herbs
Mek me adjust my words
And give thanks not cursing now
And know seh life is so joyful
And hate is a ploy the devil cook up fi fight wi down
It used to be my life
It used to be my life
It used to be my life-life-life-life

[Bridge]

That full of nuff risk taking
A lot of mistakes that made me put some breaks on what

Full up girls that cheating
And friends misleading
While the good ones leaving out

It used to be my life
It used to be my life-life-life-life

[Verse 2]
Mommy don't think I'll ever turn my back on you
I have respect for you and I will always cheer for you now
Though I smoke a lot more than you really like
At least is not no cigarette, soon see the silver line
Around my cloud of smoke
You see how proud I look
To be exactly where I want and with the road I took
I educate my mind
It elevate my rhymes
I talk about my life and dat just lead to greater times
I smoke to clear my head
You know how much tears I shed
Watch all my peers a dead there must be greater days ahead
Dey affi be, Me haffi be
Happy seh me have it fi
Drop it any time any topic is a habit ting
Habiting
Trod up a me habitat
Decide fi increase the levels weh me drop it at
I owe it to the music
You owe it to the music
Oh oh oh oh

[Chorus 2]
I do it all for you
It's for the few
Who got me through
When I thought I'd lose it now
When it was just my music
And just my herbs
Mek me adjust my words
And give thanks not cursing now
And know seh life is so joyful
And hate is a ploy the devil cook up fi fight wi down
It used to be my life
It used to be my life
It used to be my life-life-life-life

[Outro]
Used to be my life was just emotions passing by
Feeling all the while and never really knowing why

Oh oh oh oh

It used to be my life
Was just emotions passing by, passing by
It used to be my life
Was just emotions passing by, passing by

(Used to be my life)
(Used to be my life)

Wah you seh?
When me ready fi ride out, yeah
Weh ya do man?
