100 Bulletz - My Whole Life lyrics

My Whole Life Verse#1 I said I gave my whole life; I look back n' I may be stupid But by the age of three, I was playin music N' I don't mean a phase, boy, I was raised into it I'm talkin' year after year, I was trained to do it 8th grade, told myself I'd be famous They gon know my name, lil' n***a, I was goin through it Then I said I'd make a mill before I left High School 12 years later, still make excuses Like, it happened for a reason, believe and achieve If you build it, they'll come, but this ain't a movie I shoulda quit a long time ago But that's givin up and real talk, I'm ashamed to do it And it ain't the pride speakin If I leave now, that's 30 years gone and I'm afraid to lose em And maybe what I say is foolish But ain't it take thirty-three years for Jesus to get betrayed by Judas?

I need my pops to see his son shine Make em proud enough to know my mom cry For all my family locked in cages by the one time My people who just wanna see me win a Grammy... one time Gettin dumb high I'm talkin' private jet; 2AM Toronto; in Belize before the sunrise I don't know how to unwind, that's what I'm rappin for Both my daughters good, but what happen when they ask for more? So, you can stack bars, I'm all about stackin paper From the East to the Bayside, Zack n Slater So much paper it don't matter how you act paper Let my kids draw on it, daddy call it scrap paper Keep It 100; bring it back when the tracks through Made a beat, wrote a hooks, laced the tracks too But' if bars what you attract to You got a one-track mind, lets make a deal, I'll give you track two
