[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
