\\\"When life gives you chickens, what does thy do with the lemons?\\\"


I’m realigning space
That means I’m coming back
And you can try to resist but I be gunning back
Hope yall can take a hit
Coming from the biggest track
Cause once I make my album you’ll feel that jab

Upper cut then kick
You take it and like it
There’s no way to block my skills, my stance is stiff
That’s why you stepping back
You cannot resist
So just stand and watch cause you aren’t part of this

I’m busy making stacks
You see my talents grown
Cause I keep building off what I’ve just sold
I try to keep my ways
By using different molds
And whatever I sculpt out pleases most

I’m just…
Living life, living life
Cause no matter where I roam
Living life, living life
I make my presence known
Living life, living life
Sometimes I go alone
Living life, living life
I’m just going by my code

Living life, living life
I’m just searching for different ways
Living life, living life
As well as different days
Living life, living life
Working for that final praise
Living life, living life
Is there any that remains?

I am concluding, plan on choosing
Figuring out what I am losing
Gaining it back through some bruising
Cause I suffer before improving
I’m introducing what I’m doing
A momentive process which I’m cruising
Never stopping always moving
Leaving behind mistakes in ruin

I’m building off my desires to explore
Changing up this stage as I’m hoping to perform
This I shall announce since I’m trying to lure
Others into my ideals which they will adore
I will take the pain and bruises and push through the sores
Cause once others see my effort they’ll be begging me for more
Even if it takes a while I’ll still stay on course
If neglected of my wants then I’ll acquire them through force

I don’t plead, for I receive
What I want eventually
Don’t misjudge for I don’t thieve
My only plans are to achieve
Life is steep and at the peak
Lays the answer to what we seek
And if we try and make work complete
What we see is what we keep

I’m just…
Living life, living life
Cause no matter where I roam
Living life, living life
I make my presence known
Living life, living life
Sometimes I go alone
Living life, living life
I’m just going by my code

Living life, living life
I’m just searching for different ways
Living life, living life
As well as different days
Living life, living life
Working for that final praise
Living life, living life
Is there any that remains?

What is life? What is life?
Some questions asked cannot be told
Cause all the answers have been sold
So we must come up with our own

We are here to live but not to earn
This concept has left and not returned
And my generation raises concern
Cause we may grow but we don’t learn

Years have gone by but I’ve always managed to stay the same
I may have changed some people around but I’ve never changed my way

Through my experience, my existence, I’ve learned to push on resistance
Of the crowds certain “appeals” therefore I’ve remained consistent

It’s is a dive, it’s thrust, just to push yourself above
But you can’t forget to look back down and see what you once loved

Life withholds demands and you must supply your being
Must formulate a process and hope it applies a reason

So what is life? What is life?
A furious struggle that explains your meaning
A planned out journey that can be misleading
Or a courageous effort that could be intriguing

It’s not what you do or what you make
More how well it generates
More how much it compensates
For how much time you spent and gave

I’m just…
Living life, living life
Cause no matter where I roam
Living life, living life
I make my presence known
Living life, living life
Sometimes I go alone
Living life, living life
I’m just going by my code

Living life, living life
I’m just searching for different ways
Living life, living life
As well as different days
Living life, living life
Working for that final praise
Living life, living life
Is there any that remains?

So my hits may seem discreet
But trust me I’m pounding hard
Cause all the work I’m putting in will break your guard
Shattered in pieces
You’re now covered with scars
But don’t patch them up let others see my art

You can model my work
But you can’t replace
Cause I am the original, I will get paid
My drive will never break
I always increase my traits
Cause I may not impress all but I can integrate

Mesh it all together
Form a statue high
Let it be an icon of my strife
Let me stand by it
Let there be a shine
Let the world know that I’m living LIFE!
