Music Is My Life by Chuckie Akenz
Music Is My Life lyrics
For my chinz on the block that be living through the struggle/
for my nigz slanging rock jus to make dat money double/
they say we living trouble, but troubles a part of life/
living in the projects rubble but still we call it life/
n past the guns and knives, we jus humans with a crutch/
get by with what we have although its never much/
n with everything we touch, we still labeled as a hazard/
raised in metro housing, single parent so we bastards/
n the dreams that we after only come out of the mouth/
have u ever seen a thug with a million dollar house?/
now all i see about is the kids that love their music/
dey can dress like dey us, but dey never been through it/
n dey'll never live through it, dey just actors in disguise/
dey could live a great life but still dey stuck up wit dey lies/
n with everyone that dies, all the burden in our hands/
i dont rap to be praised, i rap so dey understand/
and as the world starts changing
i feel life rearanging
how can they know my troubles
if they cant see my struggle
and as the world starts changinggg
i feel life rearanging
what gets me through this life
one thing because music is my life
sometimes i lie down and spark a bogey to my face/
think back, from all those days wen i was tearin up the place/
i was filled wit an anger that i couldnt control/
seeked out on a mission, found my alter ego/
i fell in love wit da music, n da music took my heart/
seen a dream through a mic, now we can never be apart/
started out in da park, drop free's n get high/
use ta go to homies crib n make tracks for all night/
but then came the fights, at home and with my life/
raised up being poor soon changed my life's sights/
hit the block up in fright, then i suddenly knew/
that where im from is a place where struggles all grew/
its kinda hard growin up without a father around/
and all a little kid know is grow ta-be holdin to down/
i miss the days before frowns, when i never really knew/
that where im from is a place where struggles all grew/
and as the world starts changing
i feel life rearanging
how can they know my troubles
if they cant see my struggle
and as the world starts changinggg
i feel life rearanging
what gets me through this life
one thing because music is my life
music is my life (repeat til end)
