Testo My Life - Ak'Sent
Testo della canzone My Life (Ak'Sent), tratta dall'album International
Yeah
It's that girl again
Cause this is my life, my life, my life, my life
May 29th, 1987, I was born
Peakin' out my mother's womb, I assume
Kickin' and screamin'
Mama said I was a little rude
Think I saw what I been goin' through before I went through it
City of angels, I'm in
The best of both worlds cause I'm black and Mexican
I was a person to all my kin
Was a point in my life where I didn't fit in
Knowin' when I went to school I wasn't like the other kids
But before, I think I was about 4
When the cops came to the door
Told my grandmother the raw truth
That her son wasn't comin' home, he was gone
She would mourn, wonderin' where she went wrong
He was bangin' Crip, took ten from the other banger's clip
Now he ripped, so that makes me a bastard, shit
I admit, growin' up without him makes me a bit cold
Now I'm only 10 years old and this is my life
All my life
You couldn't walk down my road
Couldn't stand in my shoes
All my life
Let me show you all the things that I've been through
In my life
This is my life, my life, my life
Sorta like Mary J. Blige, only rap
Through my eyes, if you could see what I saw at the age of 10
Probably wonderin' exactly how I made it in
Guess it's how I made it out
Six years back I'm dancin' only 'til I figured out
That I could do my thing
Now I'm 16, chasin' dreams that many dream about
But I own my shit
Got with Mav, let him paint the picture out
I put work in, little later, Capitol gets interested
Put more work in, now we got the album that we puttin' out
My team's really genuine, and now the pressure's buildin' up
Six little siblings that be lookin' up
No time to be fuckin' up
Plus daddy and his granny always lookin' down
Daddy's little girl, it's more like a woman now
Plus I understand why I couldn't stay at mommy's house
Mommy was still hurtin' cause the man she fell in love with
Was arrested, six feet underground
All my life
You couldn't walk down my road
Couldn't stand in my shoes
All my life
Let me show you all the things that I've been through
In my life
Well I'm 18 now, feet planted in the soil
I ain't spoiled in my ways, I deserve what I made and more
Future's lookin' brighter than it was before
I was runnin' wild in them streets
With them boys with the heat
What I find, I'ma keep
I won't stand for defeat
Demand everything that's gon' make me prosper
Watch the charts, I'm comin'
A hundred miles and runnin'
My past is my past, I'm anxious for what's comin'
The forthcoming, I won't rest 'til I'm hangin' with my pops
Won't stop 'til I'm hangin' with my pops
God bless me
Won't rest 'til I'm hangin' with my pops
Won't stop 'til I'm hangin' with my pops
God bless me
All my life
You couldn't walk down my road
Couldn't stand in my shoes
All my life
Let me show you all the things that I've been through
In my life
Oh, my life
My life
Ooh, oh
My life
Oh
Couldn't walk down my road
My shoes
