Lyrics of 'My Life' by Robert Jordan

I been up all day on the block 8 hours shifts but I never touch the clock
Risking my life but I won’t ever get caught
Get it by any means is what my people taught
I ain’t wanna take this route (I had to)
I’m tryna make my family proud (one day)
So please don’t judge me for my wrongs no
Cuz only gods opinion counts”

No I’m not proud of what I’ve done I never chose this way to go
I grew up with the d boys on the block serving zones
Coming out the city it’s the only thing I know
How to turn a half into a whole
How to get it by yourself and get that cho
I keep my circle small I’m better off alone
I had to cut ya when ya chose the wrong road
Stop using my name saying that we bros
It seem like lately I cant trust a single soul
Chasing clout just so they can get exposed
Never talk down on the next that’s the code
But you ain’t living like that so you don’t know
Now I’m up it ain’t no stopping where I’ll be
I came a long way from living in these streets
Kevin gates I’m chasing bread over beef
We gotta billion dollar vision up our sleeve

I been up all day on the block
8 hours shifts but I never touch the clock
Risking my life but I won’t ever get caught (troll on me)
Get it by any means is what my people taught
I ain’t wanna take this route (I had to)
I’m tryna make my family proud (one day)
So please don’t judge me for my wrongs no
Cuz only gods opinion counts

Get to a pen and pour my heart out when I’m low
I talk to God before every single show
I won’t stop until I’m on the road
Just for my brothers I ain’t stopping til I’m on
Every single day I hear I’m next to blow
Until I’m up I’m staying patient staying low
I give God my problems and let go
Drop to my knees and pray to God for him to show
Show me all the signs I missed before
They say that’s the only way to clear ya soul
I won’t forget about my brother down the road
25 to life he ain’t coming home
Tried to rob em they ain’t think that he would blow
(We ain’t sweet)
You cant get visits now we talking thru the phone
I pray everyday you don’t lose hope
Don’t stop praying for a miracle
You don’t deserve this
How you getting life before your first kid
I know it hurt him
Growing up with no father really turned him
I can relate, I was so lost when I found out the day
Me and my fathers whole relationship would change
I been the man of the house since I was 8
All these responsibilities beyond my age
I stepped up early
I was 9 doing jobs like I was 30
I been down way more than I been up
That’s why it’s no new friends I only rock with blood
Nothing but troubles all you get out of them slums
Just some brothers tryna get it out the mud
How you struggle but you never heard of hud
