paroles de chanson What Life Like - Jurnalist

Look me in my eyes n see my struggle is real
See the scars upon my flesh imagine just how that feels
See I really used to smoke but now its not to take pills
Cause I done been through withdrawals n i can't do it again

I had some people who fucked wit me they was more than just piers
We was brothers without blood this was deeper than skin
If I eat then you eat n thats just how we lived
Late nights wit no sleep cause that grind was severe
Doing work. in the stu... when we didn't have no roof
Steady scheming on a dollar tryna make this thing move
When we was broke n we's hungry you remember that shit?
Well get the pieces to this puzzle then well make it make sense

It was all about the hustle n our dreams to get rich
Beat the odds every time make it look like a cinch
Master the music n the business independent from rip
Before them niggas thought that was cool we was doing that shit
We was on the road like uber or maybe lyft
Winter summer spring or fall drop a tape take a trip
We made a wave n a lane didn't follow no trends
Put in blood sweat n tears put a glass in the air

Now you can look me in my eyes n see my struggle is real
See the scars upon my flesh imagine just how this feels
See I really used to smoke but now its not to take pills
Cause I done been through withdrawals n I can't do it again
Now when you looking deep inside is fake is it real?
Are you caught up in the hype getting lost in the thrill?
Are you living in a moment can you say that you've lived?
You ask me whats my life like let me show you a glimpse.

Got lawyer fees doctor bills n I'm tryna pay rent
May be writing this song now but thats just so I can vent
Chain smoking through an ounce trying to stave off the stress
What the fuck am I gone do now don't know what to do next
Feeling lost like I'm drowning got this noose round my neck
Feel the pressure of my choices calculating my steps
Got more to lose than to gain if the shot miss the net
Life is just like a house a cards could come down in a breath

I've cheated death two times the third it took me a minute
Yeezy bit the steering wheel I had a head on collision
Since I cheated death life turned n gave me some lemons
Thats cliche I know but thats without getting specific
Overcame opposition obstacles to this mission
War ready scars prove that I been in the trenches

Getting green photosynthesis benjamins for these sentences
Giving this game out freely so you know just what the business is

Now you can look me in my eyes n see my struggle is real
See the scars upon my flesh imagine just how this feels
See I really used to smoke but now its not to take pills
Cause I done been through withdrawals n I can't do it again
Now when you looking deep inside is fake is it real?
Are you caught up in the hype getting lost in the thrill?
Are you living in a moment can you say that you've lived?
You ask me what its all about n I could say this.

It aint about chasing women... n money cannot fix
The inner problems in soul what you hide in your chest
You fighting demons every weekend wit the sins of the flesh
On the gram wit some grams blue hunnids to flex
Money solves a whole lot but it cannot buy respect
Aint no future in yo fronting if yo buttons get pressed
You gone die for anything if you won't stand for self
You better make wiser choices fore you need to seek help

Remain humble in this jungle the snakes n tigers gone hunt you
Its never bout what you going through
Its always bout what you been through
Making it through the fire off purely will n desire
Getting it out the mud the American dream right...?
Perfect n master your hustle its always mind over muscle
Theres no joy without the struggle idle hands can bring trouble
You lose it get it back double making something from nothing
Circle small like a huddle cause trust is thin like a bubble ya know

Now you can look me in my eyes n see my struggle is real
See the scars upon my flesh imagine just how this feels
See I really used to smoke but now its not to take pills
Cause I done been through withdrawals n I can't do it again
Now when you looking deep inside is fake is it real?
Are you caught up in the hype getting lost in the thrill?
Are you living in a moment can you say that you've lived?
You ask me whats my life like let me show you a glimpse.

You can look me in my eyes n see my struggle is real
See the scars upon my flesh imagine just how this feels
See I really used to smoke but now its not to take pills
Cause I done been through withdrawals n I can't do it again
Now when you looking deep inside is fake is it real?
Are you caught up in the hype getting lost in the thrill?
Are you living in a moment can you say that you've lived?
You ask me whats my life like let me show you a glimpse.
