Ricky J - My Life Lyrics
From a corner to the Big Applethey used to tell meRick, to make it, it's a big hassleAnd that my momma taught me instead it's a big gambleThey chose the free for all to seeYea I did that too, every kid has toAmateur nights, I be rappin on micSee me with the sleaziest players when I'm back in the nightEven if you black or you white I'll still beattracting to hypeNo advanc I ain't royalty yetI got a pay cut on my first royalty checkI got my name misspelled and they ain't notice me yetI got a hole in my apartment where my toilet is keptRecord labels owin them debts and they ain't spottedme yet(hook)And that'sMy lifeThat's the way that I live, it's justMy lifeYou can like it or not cuz it'sMy lifeThat's the way that I live, it's justMy lifeI don't give up(Chorus)This is your lifeThis is your wayThis is your day to shine shine shineThis is your lifeThis is your wayThis is your day to shine shine shineAll the girls used to laugh at the hatchback,I had backIn '86 no tenseIt was a MazdaEatin at Mickie Dee's was a luxuryMy main girl of three years breakin up with meNow she's there and I'm here, my mom's here, my boys hereAnd every chick I see wants my companyRJ Entertainment, that's my companyFirst you were chumpin me, now you want a cut from meAin't it awful tellin me you ain't impressin me rightLocal players tellin me you don't be testin me rightNow I got the recipe rightI need some respectAnd when my tape's in the deckY'all be pressin rewind(hook)(Chorus)Now it's often I'm on skinLike Johnson & JohnsonBlinds up my JohnsonMan, it's just nonsenseThey come from Georgie to BostonYea I'm sure y'all want someEven your girls in WisconsinAnd when it rains my hood'll be downNow I'm rainin over your catsYou should look at me nowI used to over react to be opening actEven if the show wasn't phatI still go on and rapIt's just the look of the crowd before they looked at me foulMy accountant crooked and foulWe all start mumblin5 percent of 7 cents I think I lost publishinMy eyes closed no money madeThough my single went gold(hook)(Chorus 2x
