My Life

'Ight, yeah

I'll hol' at y'all tomorrow, man

'Ight, I'll talk to you

Get home safe

Crazy kids, aha, yeah

Today was a good day, word

♪

See I done been discriminated against

Talked about by my friends

Played a fool by women

And had a daddy with no feelings

I lived in ghettos with my momma

Used the stove to heat our water

And had to share clothes with my brothers

Three of us, one bed, one cover oh

And those were the happiest days of my life

If it ain't rough, it ain't right

Street lights are coming on, better get home

Better get home

Those were the happiest days of my life

If it ain't rough, it ain't right

While we're reminiscing Christopher Reeves

You're still Superman to me

You're still Superman

You're still Superman

You're still Superman to me

See I done been mistreated and discouraged

Felt like I was worthless

Lonely, scared and nervous

In a world without no purpose

Cried out to God, "I didn't deserve this"

But He said, "In time I would

See it's the bad times that make the good times

Feel so good"

And those were the happiest days of my life

If it ain't rough, it ain't right

Street lights are coming on, better get home

Better get home

Those were the happiest days of my life

If it ain't rough, it ain't right

While we're reminiscing Christopher Reeves

You're still Superman to me

I said, "You're still Superman to me"

Nobody is gonna take your place

'Cause you're still

'Cause you're still Superman to me (let's go)

Yo, I done changed dirty diapers, cooked food with lighters

Shot so much game, chicks nicknamed me "Sniper"

Famous ghostwriter, bank account retired

Too many zeros poppy still illegal

Chain look like nickels mixed with icicles

Stretching from the neck area to the genitals

I got a parrot on my shoulder that talk for me

And he don't say shit but, "Nigga back off of me"

Yeah, I'm a hood nigga, but I'm still a good nigga

Bought a couple kids new bikes, just 'cause I could nigga

And I ain't one who be lookin' for thanks

I just ball 'cause I like the Yanks

Wow

Ten years and some odd months in the joint, and I'm-I'm-I'm finally home

I feel good, I'm lookin' good, you know I'm sayin'?

Things is different, relationships is different

A lot of my friends is dead, a lot of my friends that's alive

Ain't really alive 'cause they doin' the same old thing they was doin', aha, ten years ago

But yo, I was on to bigger and better things, went on to New York, you know I'm sayin'?

I wasn't just talkin' about it, I was bein' about it

I wasn't just tryin' to be a better hustler, a better father, a better friend, a better cousin

I was tryna be a better person and I found just like in the joint

When you tryna do positive things, positive results gotta follow, they gotta follow

So for the last cut on the album I thought, I'd give it to y'all

And tell my brothers in the joint whose strivin' to do the same thing

That is it possible, man, life is possible, ha

Come on, y'all, for the last cut, let's do this right
