| [00:12.082] |
Yeah, sip of this ma'****in' drink |
| [00:13.074] |
God help the child who's needy |

Yeah, hey... |
| [00:25.665] |
Is this the life that You chose for me? |
| [00:28.695] |
Is this the life that You chose for me? |
| [00:31.752] |
Is this the dice that was rolled for me? |
| [00:35.174] |
I won't cry about it, I won't cry about it |
| [00:38.204] |
Is this the life that You chose for me, Lord? |
| [00:40.973] |
Is this the life that You chose for me? |
| [00:44.264] |
Is this the dice that you rolled for me? |
| [00:47.713] |
Yeah, yeah |
| [00:50.116] |
This is The Ville, home of the fast-lifers |
| [00:52.101] |
Where we get high and don't come down, we gas prices |
| [00:55.549] |
Man, I wonder how hard to live my past life was |
| [00:58.449] |
'Cause this one hard, I could show you my scars, I ain't cryin' though |
| [01:02.106] |
Ayy, save that pity for the next man |
| [01:04.431] |
Or that girl getting beatdown by her ex-man |
| [01:07.513] |
Ayy, hold your head, mama, I know you wish that ***** dead, mama |
| [01:11.223] |
If I can find a way to kill him, I won't have nar' drama |
| [01:14.331] |
Damn mama, tell me who you love |
| [01:17.022] |
This one is for the boy that see his mama on drugs |
| [01:19.843] |
I feel your pain, boy, and just know I been through the same, boy |
| [01:23.396] |
That lady need you more than ever, don't be ashamed, boy |
| [01:26.478] |
'Cause when it rained, boy, that was your umbrella |
| [01:29.430] |
The one that changed your pissy sheets when you was a young fella |
| [01:32.539] |
And now she in the bedroom on her knees |
| [01:34.942] |
Staring at the sky, screaming "Lord, please!" Tell me now: |
| [01:38.886] |
Is this the life that You chose for me? |
| [01:41.708] |
Is this the life that You chose for me? |
| [01:44.633] |
Is this the dice that was rolled for me? |
| [01:47.716] |

| [01:59.967] |
I won't cry about it, I won't cry about it |
| [02:02.344] |
It's like... |
| [02:02.762] |
Soon as you cling on my mind's sayin' "be gone" |
| [02:05.740] |
I leave 'em with wrinkled foreheads, they now Klingons |
| [02:08.588] |
Confused, 'cause friendship's abused and I'm sorry for it |
| [02:11.801] |
My life performance been trifling, sometimes I fight my conscience |
| [02:14.988] |
Was never given spades, but I always had the heart |
| [02:17.940] |
Always misplayin' the hand that was dealt the joker cards |
| [02:20.996] |
Is what I was feelin' like, lonely, low energy |
| [02:23.869] |
Fallin' slow, clinically, ballin'? No, but we finna be |
| [02:27.004] |
Don't pity me ever, even when them haters answerin' |
| [02:30.034] |
Mind state of the victor, no victim, I'm just a champion |
| [02:32.855] |
Money comin' slow, God, intervene |
| [02:35.180] |
Spirit's never broken, I'm just focused, don't pity me, no no no |
| [02:39.255] |
You see this pain put a strain on my whole life |
| [02:42.364] |
I seen the rain, seen my dreams turn to long nights |
| [02:45.473] |
But all I ask is don't pity me, no, no |
| [02:48.085] |
Don't pity me, no, no, don't pity me, no, no |
| [02:51.559] |
No |
| [02:52.160] |
Is this the life that You chose for me? |
| [02:54.563] |
Is this the life that You chose for me? |
| [02:57.489] |

| [03:06.919] |
Is this the life that You chose for me? |
| [03:09.871] |
Is this the dice that you rolled for me? |
| [03:12.744] |
I won't cry about it, I won't cry about it |
| [03:16.245] |
Hey, I can't cry about it |
| [03:19.118] |
Nuh, gotta be strong, can't cry about it |
| [03:22.122] |
Hey, uh |
| [03:23.742] |
Yeah |
| [03:25.753] |
And I |
| [03:26.877] |
Freestyle life, can barely write the rent |
| [03:29.593] |
Yearly income can barely keep this music life in check |
| [03:32.493] |
Call up mama, "Hate to borrow money with Christmas near |
| [03:35.654] |
Hey, you know what, how 'bout we make each other gifts this year?" |
| [03:38.762] |
Friends are calling me up, asking me if I'm signed yet |
| [03:41.584] |
Who I'm working with? Am I making dollar signs yet? |
| [03:44.562] |
Disappointment within their voices - do they pity me? |
| [03:48.088] |
Disbelief - I'ma stay driven like them city streets |
| [03:50.962] |
But ah, it seems like every day is rainy weather |
| [03:54.018] |
Can barely fit my pain and pride beneath the same umbrella |
| [03:56.761] |
But he don't care, he don't care, it's hard to keep em dry |
| [03:59.713] |
No more caterpillar, now you see him change: peeping Tom |
| [04:02.873] |
Yeah, this life will flash before your eyes |
| [04:05.277] |
So get your match before your fire turns to ash, no more drive |
| [04:08.490] |
No more gas, before you cry, get your last, before you die |
| [04:11.442] |
Live your past with no regrets, broken necks, no looking back, man |
| [04:15.125] |
Is this the life that You chose for me? |
| [04:18.129] |
Is this the life that You chose for me? |
| [04:20.950] |

| [04:23.954] |
I won't cry about it, I won't cry about it |
| [04:27.193] |
Is this the life that You chose for me, Lord? |
| [04:30.250] |
Is this the life that You chose for me? |
| [04:33.332] |

| [04:37.224] |
Yeah |
