Lyrics of 'My Life' by Sho Baraka

Hook
(pro)
Its my life, aint no way i can change at all even if i tried/
That why i try, to go and tear the wall down let you all get a peak inside/
But once you're inside, i guarantee you wont like everything that you'll find/
But what you'll find, is the grace of the lord, cuz his hands all over my life/
It's my life

Bridge
Nice aim, they taught us to aim for nothing/
And look we hit it dead on the button/

Verse 1
The story of my life, if you flip through the chapters/
Born in the maple leaf now i'm in atlanta/
Lived close to hollywood, raised in the drama/
God blessed my mama so she named me baraka/
Parents did a split, so i split socially/
I love moms but when pops left he took the most of me/
I hated the mirror cuz i struggled with my race/
Everyday i would wish i was white, i'm such a disgrace/
I had a identity struggles that was no secrets/
I was lucky if my closet friends could speak english/
So to fight that feeling i made the decision/
To hate my face or to hate the opposition/
I'm hanging with the militant, reading buffalo soldiers/
My friends in their room hanging up word up posters/
This is my attempt to pull back the curtains
This is just a little peak into the first acts/ hurting

Verse 2
2nd chapter of my life, i see things different/
Acting like malcolm x got my boys straight tripping/
I get silent treatments so i start to listening/
The root of the issue i just want some significance/
If that means thugging, i'll listen to pac/
Smoke a little weed getting drunk on the block/
Doing petty crimes running from the cops/
Knowing pops would kill me if i ever got caught/
My man got shot days later he's dead/
Its running through my head we all allergic to lead/
I'll never forget what my oldest brother said/
You can be a dreamer but don't live in your bed/
So i left that life and went to college/
My god became, money, sex, status and knowledge/
And if i didn't get i'd go insane/
I guess that's the result of a life with bad aim/

Verse 3
They want a third chapter, sit back and listen/
Like matt damon i was born for this mission/
I heard this crazy message about the world's hero/
And how it was a righteous kill, robert deniro/
And how he got punished for sins when he did zero/
Just to bring a cure to some sin sick people/
Did some research found none equal/
Perfection wrapped in flesh to dead evil/
I guess my biggest issues is i thought i was a christian/
But now i have a passion for christ mel gibson/
I asked my man if he knew his way to heaven/
He said sure they opens their doors around seven/
And closes at 3 so go get your blessings/
I guess it's my fault for assuming his understanding/
He knows he wants more he's scared to explore why/
Eternity's in his heart christ hit the bulls eyes/
