(Verse 1)
Yo
Today's just another one of those days, I
Had to admit it's not easy being J-Live
My bust this now, the topic to discuss is
It's even harder sometimes just being justice
J-Live's just known to spin a record, spit a verse
Just as Allah's just God of the universe
Which means it's civilized, righteous original man
With knowledge of self and wisdom you can understand
Nothing less, nothing more, nothing holy, nothing pure
Nothing gassed, just steadfast and sure
When something comes up, something goes wrong, something gets done
If there's not a way my will will make one
My plans are planets grown and made from the beginning
But now my game plan's going into extra innings
But if it's a game, that means somebody's winnin'
And if it ain't me? Nah, see, it's gotta be
In this game of life, you score with every breath
The idea's to retire on your own terms
Never undefeated, just with a winning record
So when it's there after you're gone, you're still respected
But now I gotta fall back, it's a transition
It's not a impossible mission, but man listen
I can't say I'm not struggling
Swingin' 9 planets at the same time feels like juggling
Don't get me wrong, and don't get it twisted
I wasn't drafted into this life, I enlisted
Family, business, music, it sweetens the pot
But what I need to know is...
