You got one life, so live it before it run out
With that said, I got a mountain to climb
The world is gonna hear my voice
without a doubt in my mind
I can’t focus on countin’ the times
a mutha fucka said “NO”
And left me wonderin’ how he defines
Top priority, first off to measure your success
Balance out the road life,
come home to pressure and the stress
Self made, I scream it till my jaw aches
y’all hate, but we got the shit
locked up like Shawshank
Chorus:
this is my life, this is my dream
this is my my world, I'm doing my thing
I've made mistakes and I've felt its pain
It's my life (my life) my way (my way)
you will remember my name
I always wonder “Will they really miss me?”
Wake up in the morning, ol’ earth used to kiss me
Tell me everything will be that Okey Dokey
Enjoy yourself before life, hit you with the potency
So I did mine, and everybody was noticin’
It don’t really matter because I’m just focusin’
On being the best me, and just investing
in all things around me to make a blessed me
let’s see picked up the weeds and start gardening,
And I see the fruits of my labour been blossoming
Negative gone, positive targeted
Come join the feast in the beats we be harvesting
Chorus
This is my life, this is my dream,
This is my world
I’m doing my thing
I’ve made mistakes, and I’ve felt its pain
It’s my life (my life) My way (my way)
You will remember my name
There is no slowing down
No time for losing ground
It’s gotta be what I see and it’s happenin’ now
So live it up (live it up) live it up (let’s go)
Commence the chitter chatter
And hear the pitter patter
of the tiny steps moving up the worlds biggest ladder
It don’t really matter
If it’s now or after
You will see the smile, and the joy and the laughter
I can see my dreams when I open my eyes
Can you feel my voice, can you hear my cries
This is my choice, this is my time,
I’m living my dream, I’m living my life
This is my life, this is my dream
This is my world, I’m doing my thing
I’ve made mistakes, and I’ve felt it’s pain
It’s my life (my life) my way (my way)
You will remember my name
(repeat chorus)

(Verse)
Back in the saddle, cage rattling
Skin caliused thick, a black heart from endless days travelling
Enraged as faces tell stories of broken dreams
Out of their grasp, still on their brain like coke to fiends
Talking dirt but couldn't push an anthill
At a standstill, battling for justice in a landfill
I stand real, defined by the test of time
Stars align, designed so who's next to shine
Markin your frame, like a tattoo (TATTOO) <---full group
Bat out of hell, (feel us blast through) (BLAST THROGH) <---full group
Stomping the ground, see the weak crumble
Knockin em down, feel your knees buckle
Chorus
Only the strong will survive so identify
Everybody stand up, and recognize
Mu'fuckas with heart, better check the size
Take a look in my eyes
Look in my eyes (eyes)
Then Realize (My)
Limits the sky (why ask why)
Are you ready for war
You tuning in to the sure shots (sure shots)
locking down spots, Fort knox (Fort knox)
Enter the ring, make the jaws drop (jaws drop)
Raise the fist, and the corks pop (corks pop)
Ready for war yeah, built machine (built machine)
competition cut, guillotine (guillotine)
Make em sweat man, Phillipines, killin teams,
Smithereens, turning nightmares to the realest scenes,
This goes out to competitors, (weapons drawn)
minor leaguers trying to mess with upper echelon,
the response from the king to all of y'all
champion resemblance, you don't wanna get it on
Chorus
Only the strong will survive so identify
Everybody stand up, and recognize
Mu'fuckas with heart, better check the size
Take a look in my eyes
Look in my eyes (eyes)
Then Realize (My)
Limits the sky (why ask why)
Are you ready for war
GO
Only the strong will survive (are you ready for war?)
Only the strong will survive (are you ready for war?)
Only the strong will survive (look in my eyes?)

Oh man - the crew back at it again!
Don't really fill my pockets with ends
but it ain't stoppin' my grins
Smilin' with a pile o' my friends
and I can't even pay for the rent
but I ain't hatin' a bit
cuz I livin' my dreams without snoozing
Not making any money like these cubicle dudes man
It's hard to figure out like a rubiks cube
but when we in the city it's like "Who is these dudes?"
Cuz we broke as hell but they wanna be
because we get the crowd shakin' like heebie jeebies
I never worry about where we be sleepin'
Whether in NY or where the B's and C's be
An itty bitty group from On-tear-ee-eye-oh (Ontario)
Be gettin mad props from Japan to Chicago
I love the dub city the place of my home
North South East West - Yippie Yi Yo!
(Pre-Chorus)
It don't mean
Nothin' to
Nothin' to me
(Chorus)
All these places we go
All these people we see
All that money you got
Don’t mean nothing to me
It's nothing to me, nothing to me
You can flaunt all you want, but you ain’t fucken with me
Imagine, six plus hours a day average travellin
5 guys, big dreams, one van packed in
Personal debts stackin
Relying on talent, drive, and commitment to cash in
And when i say cash in, I mean
Turn bi-standards to believers by hitten the stage like assassins
Treat every show like our last gig
It’s magic, re-create Woodstock out of a trash bin
What you know about sellin yourself cheap
To muster up change for a place to sleep
Wake up with nothing to eat
Changing trailer tires in 100 degree Nashville heat
Perform the show for 9 in attendance
6 buy the album, head home and highly recommend it
Sounds crazy to take this route yo.
I wouldn’t trade it for every dollar in your bank account no!
(Pre-Chorus)
(Chorus)
All the plces we go
All the people we see
All that money you got
It don't mean nothing to me (it don't mean nothing to me)
(Chorus)
