Hook: how's life for an artist like me ?
Hows life for an artist like me?
Are things how I want things to be?
Are things linin up like they seem?
I said hows life for an artist like me?
Hows life for an artist like me?
Will these dreams turn to reality?
Will i stay independent stay free?

Verse: i used to walk around the block didn't really care about a clock
Didn't pay no mind to time , just had a worryfree mind
Liberation was mine, problems never aligned
Until i ran into some peers that shifted my thoughts shifted my walk
Shifted my ways, had me go for days
All day long tryna impress them but it was interestin
How i actually went along and listened to them
Didn't have my own mind, couldn't blame it on them
All the time, i could barely even comprehend or could even pretend
That my actions were good or worth it so i had a pointless fight and yea it was physical
Yea it was literal , had to start goin spiritual
Askin God what is my purpose and why was i here
Cuz i was at alternative school for the first half of the year
I was like God please tell me things i could do to change
He started removin bad energy , showin my enemies
You wanna know somethin ironic..my friends were my enemies
Had to watch out for the snakes that claimed they were kin of me
Even the ones i knew since elementary
Its scary cuz signs show
And time tells, and i know
Things change, people grow
Some dont , uh-oh
But i will, and i did
Went from wrecklessness to writin up in the crib
Makin this music, i got hella goofy
I know it sounds silly but my life is a movie
My two friends passed away both from the gunwounds
Long live bryant and chris , why they take you like this
They dont know life is precious
Seen many loved ones go
They say the good die young, i say the bad die slow
And if you think thats controversial i just want you to know
People stay bashin each other cuz they in a better position
But like kendrick be humble , for your position crumble
I said b thats gonna sting im not talkin bout bumble
I would love good recognition, positive mentions
Good shows good times with the music with the bros
I be stayin up all night writin and recitin
Goin into hidin while im editin and typin
Sampling and watchin all these great artists
Realizing im an artist , tryna be the biggest artist
Not tryna be the hardest
But i know ima shine regardless
, been doin this for too long to quit like i ain't start this
David killed Goliath with a stone
I'll kill these rappers with a bar or a poem
Not tryna even have beef but come on
Friendly competition always workin up my zone
This is the life i live , the life i accepted
The life that should be recognized and should be respected
Should begin to rise , and should be projected
See me progress before your eyes
Experience lows and highs
Watch me grind like michael jack ima remember the time
When i was like 8 maybe 9 or working a 9-5
Or 5 times over being irritated , frustrated, infuriated , sometimes hated questioning being created , and if ill ever make it
But i love myself , ive grown the confidence in my residence patience they be testin it
Keep on pushin , keep movin till the break of dawn , and at dawn im still movin, never stop groovin
On this thing called life, and im married to this music , this passion ill never lose it
Ahh I said this passion ill never lose it
Bridge: in this life for an artist like me
This life for an artist like me?
Things how i want things to be? (yeah)
Things linin up like they seem? (yeah)
Life for an artist like me?
In this life for an artist like me?


Outro:good music , good vibes, right here, in this life
Remove enemies, negativity
Im just tryna reach peace and prosperity, i ask questions get clarity
I live a full life , some things i sacrifice
Not everything is nice, not everything is free
But ima be free and ima love me
Ima know me, im not lonely
I got good friends got my homies
Im barz da lyricist the one and only
Never phony
In this life for an artist like me yeah
In this life for an artist like me ayy
