Life (feat. J Christopher)

Of course you gon' take short In life it never goes the way you plan it You're arrogant thinking that you can control it But hold it, not up for us to decide what Happens or the outcome If you're gonna succeed or if you bout to take an L Who you gon' come across or if you gon pay a cost For the things beyond your control to cross a bridge That's what we call life's tolls Gotta pay that toll Whether you like it or not, that's how it goes Had intentions to keep em as friends They turned to foes Most of the time it happens for a reason And you ain't peeping, this shit happened for a bigger reason So you can grow Cause life'll fork you on a different path, a different road It's not tryna fuck you, but tryna fork you And it's hard to see it in the moment when it's coming towards you It's like a lane assist of life Gets you in the proper lane, right I'm telling you Life, life can be a bitch sometime Life, life can be a bitch, but you gotta stay, yeah You gotta stay focused Ooh stay, yeah You have to stay on it, and that's the way it goes, yeah Life Like I was saying What's gon' teach you the lessons that you probably need to learn from Or how much it's gon' cost you Your favorite boss is looking like they never taking losses It's not true Think it's all come up, life'll dock you Take me for example People like how the fuck you not the most Famous rapper on earth rappin' You're raw as fuck! Why are you not famous What happened With no context of what happens behind the scenes, the politics The payola needed for radio station airplay The pay2play concert gigs You gotta sell a thousand tickets to recoup your money back While promoters, they get paid Went and copped a Cadillac or a Tesla, something fancy Meanwhile rappers broke than a motherfucker It's not talent... it's hella challenge... it's all staged And hard to measure if you don't have the proper gauge I'm telling you Life, life can be a bitch sometime Life, life can be a bitch, but you gotta stay, yeah You gotta stay focused Ooh stay, yeah You have to stay on it, and that's the way it goes, yeah Life Like I was saying, not just talent that get you popping, it's network It's money, the circle jerk And true believers putting bread behind your ass Because they know your worth Some people getting lucky and fortunate Be having shit popping for no reason But most of the time it doesn't work like that You gotta have your Game Tight on your JT the bigga figga I put in hella work for years trying to get on outlets Only to have a OG partner make one phone call And line everything up in a matter of minutes, damn Changed my whole perspective of everything Like being in a fraternity and trying to get a job Your frat bros Pulling strings getting you in the right places You can be a fuck up and dumb as shit But get placed in the right placement If gatekeepers are in your corner adjacent Just imagine the time saved if you knew that That's life facts I'm telling you Life, life can be a bitch sometime Life, life can be a bitch, but you gotta stay, yeah You gotta stay focused Ooh stay, yeah You have to stay on it, and that's the way it goes, yeah Life
