Sho Baraka - My Life (Nice Aim) lyrics

Its my life, ain't no way I can change at all even if I tried That why I try, to go and tear the wall down let you all get a peak inside But once you inside, I guarantee you won't like everything that you'll find But what you'll find, is the grace of the LORD, cuz His hands all over my life It's my life Nice aim, they taught us to aim for nothing And look, we hit it dead on the bu*ton The story of my life, if you flip through the chapters Born in the maple leaf now I'm in Atlanta Lived close to Hollywood, raised in the drama God blessed my mama so she named me Baraka Parents did the splits, so I split socially I love moms but when pops left he took the most of me I hated the mirror cuz I struggled with my race Everyday I would wish I was white, I'm such a disgrace I had identity struggles that was no secret I was lucky if my closest friends could speak English So to fight that feeling I made the decision I can hate my face or hate the opposition I'm hanging with the militant, reading buffalo Soldiers My friends in their room hanging Word up posters This is my attempt to pull back the curtains This is showing you the life of a young man hurting 2nd Chapter of my life, I see things different Acting like Malcolm X got my boys tripping I get silent treatments so I start to listening The root of the issue I just want some significance If that means thugging, I'll listen to pac Smoke a little weed getting drunk on the Block Doing petty crimes running from the Cops Knowing pops would k** me if I ever got caught My man got shot days later he's dead Its running through my head we all allergic to lead I'll never ever forget what my oldest brother said You can be a dreamer but don't live in your bed So I left that life and I went to college My God became, money, s**, status and knowledge And if I didn't get I'd go insane I guess that's the result of a life with bad aim They want a third chapter, sit back and listen Like Matt Damon I was born for this mission I heard a crazy message about the world's hero And how it was a righteous k**, Robert Deniro And how he got punished when he did zero Just to bring a cure to some sin sick people Did some research found none equal Perfection wrapped in flesh to dead evil I guess my biggest issues I thought I was a Christian But now I have a pa**ion for Christ Mel Gibson I asked my man if he knew his way to heaven He said sure they open doors around seven And closes at 3 so go get your blessings I guess it's my fault for a**uming his understanding He knows what he needs he's scared to explore why Eternity's on his heart Christ hit the bullseye
