Verse 1 [Top Flight]
They tell me I should rap like Mac if I wanna' live the high life
But even if your name's the game, you ain't changing my life
See there's reasons I do what I do
And none of them reasons are to please you
So why bother tryna' father what I write?
Telling me "I'm wrong for what I put on the mic."
Since when did I need your approval
If I wanted an opinion then I would of went to Google
And I'm sorry if I sound pretty stubborn
I just hate the fact, that when I rap, they think I need to be governed
Cause like a rug burn, they won't get past my surface
How you gonna' judge me when you don't see past the curtains?
Is rap my purpose? I'm more then positive!
So imma' keep believing and writing like I'm a novelist
You can honor this, or you can question this
But it's rare if I care what your suggestion is!
Chorus [Top Flight]
I know life will never be perfect
Everyday has it's highs and lows
People tell me to keep searching
But this is the life I chose
This' the life I chose I don't care if you appose (x4)
Verse 2 [Top Flight]
Woah, sometimes I feel froze
But only for a second then I'm back up on my toes
I noticed when you grind people change as much as clothes
And overtime you find even friends turn to foes
But this' the life I chose, so I gotta' get accommodated
If I want shows, full of fans that I've congregated
I don't think you know, or understand, how long I've waited
For the day that I can say, “Hey, Mom I made it!."
But if I'm never nominated as an artist
I know I dominated and I always worked my hardest
Every song that I've created came from where my heart is
But still a lot have hated so its hard disregard it
Yeah, but I always find a way to
I wouldn't change my lane if I was paid to!
So there really ain't nothing else to say dude
This' the life I chose and I'm gonna' stay glued!
Chorus [Top Flight]
I know life will never be perfect
Everyday has it's highs and lows
People tell me to keep searching
But this is the life I chose
This' the life I chose I don't care if you appose (x4)
