Lyrics
Yeah
Mistah F.A.B
Man, where I come from, man, people
Just wanna be larger than life, man
That's all they care about
Know what I'm talkin' 'bout?
Check it out
Now let me tell all y'all how Lyrics Born, man, it's beautiful
Be inspired for the rest of your life off this musical
Talks with a twang, walks with a swag
A boss in this game, it's hard to amaze
(Talk to these rappers, man)
'Cause I'm Asian-American and it may seem unusual
And on paper looks crazy, but on stage it looks beautiful
I'm blessed to even have the opportunity to express myself
So many deaths since I've been doin' this, man, I pinch myself
Lost friends and family to demons and diseases
Hard for me to imagine, had to retrieve the pieces
I could've let it all fall apart, but I didn't
And I gotta give all credit to God, He kept me hard headed
Maintained my focus, straightened up my shoulders
Checkmated opponents, man, I ain't changed for showbiz
Still I got a vision of that horizon in the distance
That still keeps me driven, man, strivin' and persistent
L.I.F.E
The sky and the stars, baby, the world is ours
L.I.F.E
It is what you make of it, you give what you take from it
L.I.F.E
We gotta live up, baby, we can't give up
L.I.F.E
We gotta live up, baby, we can't give up
Look, I came from a crack house
Eighty percent of my family was all cracked out
Roaches and the rats out
In too deep to fall and try to back out
Front door closed so I had to take the back route
Which way to go up, get paid and blow up
Hit the blade and ho up, but these days I'm sober
I used to live the high life
Couldn't tell me nothin' 'cause I was in control of my life
But I was too drunk and too high to care when my dudes died
Too young and too dumb to run when them rules come
My main mission was to be larger than life
With cars and the ice, broads and the dykes, my heart is to fight
Wins and losses, learned from the sins of bosses
Study hard, bein' patient, men was cautious
Made light from darkness, preserved my carcass
And spit this rap to become one of the rawest
L.I.F.E
The sky and the stars, baby, the world is ours
L.I.F.E
It is what you make of it, you give what you take from it
L.I.F.E
We gotta live up, baby, we can't give up
L.I.F.E
We gotta live up, baby, we can't give up
Now as a child, I'm like a bank and I'm wide-eyed and beatin'
But plain as day I'd see my dreams all across the ceiling
Sold out performances, audience singin' my choruses
Cars, clothing, jewelry, just livin' life enormous
Now fast forward to this moment, I got my own empire
(How you do it, L.B.?) 'Cause, baby, I kept grindin'
The songs that I wrote will forever inspire
I don't even know what sold us, Lyrics Born's the headliner
I survived the critics, the haters and the cynics
The changes in opinions, the game will play you if you let it
But ain't nothin' impossible, I don't see no boundaries
Overcame every obstacle, no matter how challenging
So blessed, so thankful the situation that I came from
I couldn't handle, painful, I was rescued by angels
It's almost silly how I'm singin' so pretty now
We still makin' history, it's still bein' written down
L.I.F.E
The sky and the stars, baby, the world is ours
L.I.F.E
It is what you make of it, you give what you take from it
L.I.F.E
We gotta live up, baby, we can't give up
L.I.F.E
We gotta live up, baby, we can't give up
L.I.F.E
Yeah, yeah
L.I.F.E
Yeah, yeah
