All My Life feat. J. Cole

歌詞

Durkio told me he been on some positive shit (Yeah, yeah) Lately I just wanna show up and body some shit (Yeah, yeah) Always been a little mathematician Lately, it's cash I'm gettin' Got me losing count of these bags I been moving too fast Hard times don't last Remember when cops harassed Talkin' out my ass Boy, you ain't shit but a bitch with a badge All my life All my life They been trying to keep me down They been tryna keep me down All this time All this time I never thought I would make it out Never thought I'd make it out They couldn't break me, they couldn't break me No, no They couldn't take me, they couldn't take me No All my life All my life They been trying to keep me down (They been tryna keep me down) I decided I had to finish But the media called me a menace I done sat with the mayor and politicians, I'm tryna change the image You can't blame my past no more I come from the trenches Some said I'd never be a superstar But I know I'm different (No, no, no) I'm The Voice But the system ain't give me a choice Know some people that's still unemployed I know a felon who tryna get FOID Child support your only support For a visit I'm going through courts Went to jail, they was chaining me up And you know that I'm famous as fuck See how you gon' joke about stimulus? But they really had came in the clutch I know some kids wanna hurt theyself Stop tryna take drug I refer to myself Tryna better myself Tryna better my health. But All my life All my life They been trying to keep me down They been tryna keep me down All this time All this time I never thought I would make it out Never thought I'd make it out They couldn't break me, they couldn't break me No, no They couldn't take me, they couldn't take me No All my life All my life They been trying to keep me down They been tryna keep me down First-generation ghetto nigga Cole world, hello niggas Made it out the city with my head on straight Niggas keep shooting up the lead out Young Jordan Peele gotta get out And the shit that I spit out Is a cheat code like I'm facin' a RICO And how a nigga put a hit out And another one and another one I got like a hundred of 'em 'Bout to lap niggas so they think they ahead of me, but I'm really in front of them Now some of them fumbling they bags Fuckin' up the little crumbs that they had A reminder to humble yourself, this shit could be gone in an instant Me, I'm running long distance All pistons firing I been stuck between maybe retiring and feeling like I'm just not hittin' my prime These days seeing rappers be dying Way before they even gettin' they shine I never even heard of lil buddy 'Til somebody murdered lil buddy Now I'm on the phone searchin' lil buddy name Got to playing his tunes all day in my room Thinking, "Damn This shit wicked, to get they names buzzin' Some niggas just gotta go lay in a tomb" And media thirsty for clicks I got a new rule If you ain't never posted a rapper when he was alive You can't post about him after he get hit It's simple It's the principle On any tempo I'm invincible Don't even rap, I just vent to you I rather that than an interview Most days Fuck 'em all like I'm going through a ho phase Young nigga shoot out the whip like road rage I pray all of my dogs stay so paid And the only thing that kill 'em is old age All my life All my life They been trying to keep me down They been tryna keep me down All this time All this time I never thought I would make it out Never thought I'd make it out They couldn't break me, they couldn't break me No, no They couldn't take me, they couldn't take me No All my life All my life They been trying to keep me down They been tryna keep me down
