[intro]
[Verse 1: Phene]
I got a lyric jones, tell the truth, we shoulda been on
5 minutes alone, we already in the zone
The people love the fact I got a mind of my own
Record deal or not, I'ma shine till I'm gone
(sh**) the rap game will see you buzzin from afar
But won't acknowledge you a star
Until that old car's replaced by a bandwagon
Tearing down the mall
If you ain't help fill it up
Then keep your hand out the jar
My jargon is P.A., bachelor, no B.A
Battle me, you better off joggin on the freeway
Dub floyd my dj, used to play at the C.A
Cats is facebookin and it's sharing it with the D.A
When you post numbers, your friends will like ya status
They comments is cool, but really they'd like to have it
I decline the devil and dance under the moon
The moment I make it never had a spoon
This is hard work
[Hook: Lyric Jones]
The reasons why, in life we're tryna find
Those reasons why, sh**'s hard but still we try
There's reasons why, success will come in time
I did this my way, one, one life to live
So, so live it the best you can
[Verse 2: Lyric Jones]
I was the kind of kid that asked why
My little mind needed all the reasons all the time
Went from hey, why's the earth round? Or why's the sky blue?
To tryna find the reasons why a job won't hire you
I got a degree, experience overseas
My resume tossed around as if I got felonies
Yep, this is me, that same lady emcee
Tryna just be in a world of oxymorons and zelotry
Still askin why, but not 5 I'm almost 25
25 years of questions, but decades of lies
It pervades and hides
So I survey the sky, waiting for God's reply
Or maybe that silver line
The saying goes, things happen for a reason
Knowing moments in life they only last for a season
So I'm jonesin and fiendin and always stay schemin
Cause destiny remains unforeseen, nah mean!?
[Hook]
The reasons why, in life we're tryna find
Those reasons why, sh**'s hard but still we try
There's reasons why, success will come in time
I did this my way, one life to live
So live it the best you can
[Sample break down]
One life to live
So live it the best you can
I did this my way, one life to live
So live it the best you can
I did this my way, one life to live
So live it the best you can
[Hook]
The reasons why, in life we're tryina find
Those reasons why, hard but still we try
There's reasons why, success will come in time
I did this my way, one life to live
So live it the best you can
