[Verse 1: Brandon Hines]
Sitting alone in my room, I start to realize
With all the crazy things going on in my life
My music is the only thing that makes me hope
Put my feelings on paper and it soothes my soul
I saw from the beginning to follow my heart
Now, never let your dreams and reality part
So I'ma keep on doing what I gotta do
And I'ma keep on praying that I make it through
[Pre-Chorus: Brandon Hines]
It's more to me than just a simple melody
It's more to me than the dreams you're selling me
I knew one day that this will be my destiny
I'm gon' make it, even if you don't believe in me
It ain't about the money, it ain't about the fame
'Cause I'm a humble man, so I'ma stay the same
This is what I love, this is what I breathe
You don't understand? Then this is what I mean
[Chorus: Brandon Hines]
This way of life is all I know
This way of life is all I know
Making hits in the studio
Making hits in the studio
Getting dough for doing shows
Getting dough for doing shows
This is me, so now you know
This is me, so now you know
[Verse 2: Brandon Hines]
Sometimes, it seems that I can't see
Going on in my life if it were musicless
Sure, I'm the king, I'm doing things
That recognize I'm talented in other areas
But I was born to be behind the microphone
It's embedded in me, tatted on my arm
Record labels tossing deals, but I'ma keep it real
Stay true to my heart and do exactly what I feel
[Pre-Chorus: Brandon Hines]
It's more to me than just a simple melody
It's more to me than the dreams you're selling me
I knew one day that this will be my destiny
I'm gon' make it, even if you don't believe in me
It ain't about the money, it ain't about the fame
'Cause I'm a humble man, so I'ma stay the same
This is what I love, this is what I breathe
You don't understand? Then this is what I mean
[Chorus: Brandon Hines]
This way of life is all I know
This way of life is all I know
Making hits in the studio
Making hits in the studio
Getting dough for doing shows
Getting dough for doing shows
This is me, so now you know
This is me, so now you know
[Verse 3: Esh "Da Hitmaker"]
I was fourteen years old
Writing hits, doing shows
And going to the studio
Da Hitmaker, you ain't know?
On my grind, trying to shine
Getting paid for my lines
Effort in my music, dog
Getting better every time
You can tell I'm with the heavyweights
Starting making hella cake
n***as repping hella states
Staying on this paper chase
All that I'ma give
Would be on the [?]
Hit the studio quick
'Cause I makes another hit
And I'm overdosing off that overdoses
The third promotion, that's how it goes
'Cause this is all I know, just let me be
Besides music, man, I'm 'bout to get a math degree
Keep asking me what's next
I keep telling them this year [?]
Let me do what I do, let me move how I move
Must've hit you with the lyrics, just cut my check
But it ain't about the money, I do it 'cause I love it
You say you need a track, well, you know I got them commas
'Cause I ain't never seen G's, especially with the hits, G
I'ma stay the same [?], I'm never on empty
Got hits for days in different ways
Can't trademark me, styles always change
The music, I'm a fiend, trying to live out my dreams
They don't understand, B, tell them what I mean
[Chorus: Brandon Hines]
This way of life is all I know
This way of life is all I know
Making hits in the studio
Making hits in the studio
Getting dough for doing shows
Getting dough for doing shows
This is me, so now you know
This is me, so now you know
