It's My Life
Jim E. Carter Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Day after day and
The memories have faded
I’m left with the thoughts of you
Don’t turn around now
My eyes on the ground how
Could this have been the truth
Footsteps on footsteps
I don’t wanna look back
Let me break through
I’m waking up
And I want to go home
How can I stay here
I don’t want to be alone
I'm trying to move on now
Hold on to me tight
'Cause I’m trying to figure out if
I want you in my life
We’ve both been distant
But I won’t let you forget
How many times I tried
You promised you’d love me
That you’d always be there
I guess it’s okay to lie
I’ve been calling you daily
But you still amaze me
How easily you hide
Is it still worth trying
Are we worth reviving
I just want to decide
I’m waking up
And I want to go home
How can I stay here
I don’t want to be alone
I'm trying to move on now
Hold on to me tight
I’m tryin' figure out if
I want you in my life




I’m tryin' figure out if
I want you in my life

Line by Line Meaning

Day after day and
As the days go by


The memories have faded
I can hardly remember our past together


I’m left with the thoughts of you
You're always on my mind


Don’t turn around now
Please don't look back


My eyes on the ground how
Feeling low and down


Could this have been the truth
Did we really mean what we said?


Footsteps on footsteps
The past keeps haunting me


I don’t wanna look back
I don't want to dwell on the past


Let me break through
I need to move forward


I’m waking up
I'm starting to see things clearly


And I want to go home
I want to find my way back to myself


How can I stay here
I can't keep living with this uncertainty


I don’t want to be alone
I need someone by my side


I'm trying to move on now
I'm working on letting go


Hold on to me tight
Stay with me, don't leave me behind


'Cause I’m trying to figure out if
I'm struggling to decide whether


I want you in my life
I want you to be part of my future plans


We’ve both been distant
We've grown apart


But I won’t let you forget
I will always remember


How many times I tried
I gave it my all


You promised you’d love me
You made a commitment to me


That you’d always be there
You said you'd never leave me


I guess it’s okay to lie
But I guess you didn't mean it


I’ve been calling you daily
I've been reaching out to you constantly


But you still amaze me
I'm still surprised by your indifference


How easily you hide
It's so easy for you to avoid me


Is it still worth trying
Should we still give it a chance?


Are we worth reviving
Can we save what's left of us?


I just want to decide
I need to make up my mind


I’m tryin' figure out if
I'm still trying to determine if


I want you in my life
You're still important to me, and I'm not ready to let go yet

Ebs P2 Lyrics

[Intro]
Glah-glah
Glah-glah, boom, bitch
It's Carter, dickhead
Strap, is that you?
Josh
Yo, YP, let 'em know it's Carter, dickhead
Look

[Chorus]
Like a starfish, I stay with the rock
Walk in the spot and make everyone drop
She a thottie, that bitch is a bot
Call me Jack 'cause I stay in the box
He think he drip, he get beat with the mop (Glah, glah, glah)
I'm a demon, I think they forgot (Damn)
Ain't no YB, I stay on the top (Glah, glah)
I be geekin', I cannot be stopped

[Verse]
He a dummy, he talk on the 'net (Glah, glah)
And these niggas be movin' too federal (Carter, dickhead)
Said that knocker, I ain't do what you said to do
ComΠ΅ to my block and come see what Berettas do
All that barkin', that boy is a pup
How you say you no timin'? Don't do what you claim
In that room, thΠ΅y gon' serve him a plate (Glah, glah)
Like, I call the shots at the face
Try to run, he get turned into Gumbo (Glah, glah)
Shot in the park, so they call him a dumbo (Dumbo)
Niggas talkin', I only hear mumbles (Glah, glah)
We got the city, so we cannot fumble
Homicide 'cause I murdered the beat (Glah, glah)
He think he tough, so we put him to sleep (Damn)
Call him K 'cause that boy had a dream
I don't direct, I'll shoot at the scene
She a ooter, I press on the gun
Beat up the pussy, like it was a drum
On the 'Gram and you thinkin' you tough
When you see me in person, you run
Niggas is dissin' with like three viewers
His moms, his pops, his thot-ass sister
Last place, I can't beef with a loser (Glah, glah)
Ain't no Bobby, they stay on computers
She on my body, she stay in my face
No-no eraser, ca-can't even trace
I-I feel the dollie, I'm clearin' the space
Like in a chase and I can't pick a lane
I-I'm too tact', so I cannot be pain
I'm with KR, the eye to the face
And they know that I ain't been the same
Shorty know I can't beef with a lame

[Chorus]
Like a starfish, I stay with the rock
Walk in the spot and make everyone drop (Glah, glah, glah)
She a thottie, that bitch is a bop
Call me Jack 'cause I stay in the box (Glah, glah, glah)
He think he drip, he get beat with the mop (It's Carter, dickhead)
I'm a demon, I think they forgot (Glah, glah, glah)
Ain't no YB, I stay on the top (What?)
I be geekin', I cannot be stopped (Damn)

[Outro]
Glah-glah, boom, bitch, everybody shot, everything dead, like
