In My Life
French Montana Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You gonna go get it?
Mama couldn't save me, daddy dead so he couldn't raise me
I'm still tripping off them hoes that played me
Same bitches fronting on me when I had my baby
It's crazy, and niggas say they made me
Taking credit from my mama, shit amaze me
But every time I'm in the building, shhh, not a sound
I line my haters up and clap them down
That choppa have nigga dancing like he Bobby Brown
I'm well-respected in my city, even out of town
And don't ever tuck my chain
Nigga, how that sound? How that look?
We don't live by the book, we just live by the code
A lot of niggas got exposed when feds came through
They was dropping names too
Niggas say I changed up but I'm with the same crew
I was always told to get the money and remain you
Never let these pussy niggas tell you what you can't do
Every time they said that I left, that was when I came through
Range new, .38 special when the flame blew
Just in case I gotta flame you
What a feeling when them people tryna frame you
Lock you in a cell when detain you
Rather die before I go out working like I'm Django
I'm gone...
Niggas want me dead everyday I wake up
Fuck you talking 'bout, you ain't talking paper
And here's another one, here's another one
Streets watching
A new bitch, a new car
Her ass soft, I go hard
And here's another one, here's another one
Streets watching
If I fuck her, I'm brainless
She fuck me, she might get famous
She might get a chance to ride jet and drive Ranges
Money'll have your closest friends turning into strangers
That's dangerous, niggas shoot and they'll aim at us
Shooting in the sky, you tryna hit the angels up
Niggas tripping like y'all dipping off angel dust
And all these cubans 'round my neck getting tangled up
I only fuck with bad bitches that be trained to fuck
Five niggas, ten bitches run a train on us
Looking at these rap niggas they all lame as fuck
Mini skirts, skinny jeans with the strangest cuts
I stick to the script, switch like stick on the shift
Early mornings in the kitchen like I'm whippin' the grits
Nigga, I could score your bitch with a flick of the wrist
Swear that Audemar flash light like I'm flicking a pic
Niggas want me dead everyday I wake up
Fuck you talking 'bout, you ain't talking paper
And here's another one, here's another one
Streets watching
A new bitch, a new car
Her ass soft, I go hard
And here's another one, here's another one
Streets watching

The world is yours and everything in it
You have the power to achieve anything you want
You gonna go get it?
Are you willing to take action and pursue your dreams?
Mama couldn't save me, daddy dead so he couldn't raise me
My mother couldn't protect me, and my father passed away when I was young, so he couldn't guide me
I'm still tripping off them hoes that played me
I'm still bothered by the women who deceived and betrayed me
Same bitches fronting on me when I had my baby
Those same women pretended to care about me when I became a father
It's crazy, and niggas say they made me
It's absurd, and some people claim they are responsible for my success
Taking credit from my mama, shit amaze me
Stealing recognition from my mother astonishes me
How niggas talking down when I'm not around
Why do people speak negatively about me when I'm not present?
But every time I'm in the building, shhh, not a sound
But whenever I'm around, everyone becomes silent and respectful
I line my haters up and clap them down
I confront and defeat my enemies one by one
That choppa have nigga dancing like he Bobby Brown
That firearm makes someone move in the same way Bobby Brown dances
I'm well-respected in my city, even out of town
People hold me in high regard in my hometown and even beyond
And don't ever tuck my chain
And I never hide my jewelry
Nigga, how that sound? How that look?
How does that sound? How does that appear?
We don't live by the book, we just live by the code
We don't strictly adhere to conventional rules, we follow our own principles
A lot of niggas got exposed when feds came through
Many individuals were revealed for their true actions when law enforcement arrived
They was dropping names too
They were revealing the names of other people involved
Niggas say I changed up but I'm with the same crew
Some people claim I've transformed, but I'm still associated with the same group of individuals
I was always told to get the money and remain you
I was always advised to acquire wealth and remain true to myself
Never let these pussy niggas tell you what you can't do
Never allow weak individuals to dictate your capabilities
Every time they said that I left, that was when I came through
Whenever they claimed I left or gave up, that was precisely when I achieved success
Range new, .38 special when the flame blew
I have a new Range Rover, and I carry a .38 special firearm when danger arises
Just in case I gotta flame you
In case I need to use my firearm on you
What a feeling when them people tryna frame you
It's an intense sensation when authorities attempt to falsely incriminate you
Lock you in a cell when detain you
They imprison you when they detain you
Rather die before I go out working like I'm Django
I would prefer to die than be enslaved and work laboriously like in the movie Django
Niggas want me dead everyday I wake up
There are individuals who wish for my demise every time I wake up
Fuck you talking 'bout, you ain't talking paper
What are you even saying? You aren't discussing anything of value
And here's another one, here's another one
Here's another hit song, here's another success
Streets watching
The streets are observing and paying attention to my actions
A new bitch, a new car
A new attractive woman, a new luxury vehicle
Her ass soft, I go hard
She has a voluptuous buttocks, and I engage in a vigorous sexual encounter
Niggas shoot and they'll aim at us
Men will shoot their guns and target us
Shooting in the sky, you tryna hit the angels up
Firing guns into the air as a way of paying tribute to deceased loved ones
Niggas tripping like y'all dipping off angel dust
Some individuals are paranoid and behaving erratically as if they consumed the drug 'angel dust'
And all these cubans 'round my neck getting tangled up
These Cuban link chains around my neck are becoming twisted and intertwined
I only fuck with bad bitches that be trained to fuck
I only engage in sexual relationships with attractive women who are skilled in bed
Five niggas, ten bitches run a train on us
A group of five men and ten women engage in sexual activities with us sequentially
Looking at these rap niggas they all lame as fuck
Observing these other rappers, it's evident that they are all extremely unimpressive
Mini skirts, skinny jeans with the strangest cuts
Women wearing short skirts and tight jeans with unusual and unconventional designs
I stick to the script, switch like stick on the shift
I stay true to my planned course of action, but I can also adapt when necessary
Early mornings in the kitchen like I'm whippin' the grits
Spending early mornings cooking in the kitchen, just like I'm preparing a classic Southern dish
Nigga, I could score your bitch with a flick of the wrist
I have such charm and confidence that I can easily seduce your girlfriend
Swear that Audemar flash light like I'm flicking a pic
I proudly wear my Audemars Piguet watch, and it shines brightly like the flash of a camera
Niggas want me dead everyday I wake up
There are individuals who wish for my demise every time I wake up
Fuck you talking 'bout, you ain't talking paper
What are you even saying? You aren't discussing anything of value
And here's another one, here's another one
Here's another hit song, here's another success
Streets watching
The streets are observing and paying attention to my actions
