My life is all I have

My rhymes, my pen, my pad

And I done made it through the struggle, don’t judge me

What you say now, won’t budge me

Cuz where I come from, so often

People you grew up with, layin in a coffin

But I done made it through the pain and strife

It’s my time now, my world, my life

My life
