It's Your Life
L. The Head Toucha Lyrics

When them snakes slithering we delivering shots
We defend ourselves against those who betray and deceive us.

Wasn't no picket fences, our great adventures consisted of picking locks
We didn't have a fancy lifestyle, our moments of excitement came from unlawful behavior.

And gripping Glocks, but only for protection
We carry guns, but only to defend ourselves.

If I offer you these hands, don't escalate negotiations with the weapons
If I challenge you to a fight, don't take it as an invitation to escalate into gun violence.

Cause ain't no coming back from brash decisions
Once you take an impulsive action, you cannot undo the consequences.

Just take a glimpse inside of my life
See what my life is like.

If yo attention is instantly drifting, all I'm giving you is highlights
If you're not interested in my life story, I'll just give you the important parts.

Experience is 20 20 hindsight, I rhyme like
I have learned from my past experiences and use them to create my music.

All I need is one, but I'm more deserving of five mics
I am confident in my skill and deserve the highest rating for my music.

And fuck a gold plaque, I want the gold that
I don't care about awards or recognition, I want real wealth.

They got it out the mud, I want my pie slice
I want to earn my success, not just be handed it.

Earning equity, but you subjecting me to droughts
I am building my wealth, but others are making it difficult for me.

Then lock me in a cage cause I found a way to get out
Those in power punish me for my success and creativity.

Hate that I took to the field the skills that I gained in the house
It's unfortunate that I had to use the survival skills I learned growing up in dangerous environments.

Took the table that they gave me and I turned it
I took the opportunity they presented and made the most of it.

Saw the bridge that they built me and I burned it
I realized the path they were leading me down wasn't beneficial for me, so I made my own way.

Time is ticking it's too valuable to waste it
Life is short and precious, don't waste it.

Nothing's given if you want it gotta take it
You have to work hard and take what you want in life.

You better go ahead and take it
Don't hesitate to take what you want.

Feel like you running out of patience
If you're getting impatient, take action now.

Yea, Yea
An exclamation of agreement or emphasis.

If uncle Sam ain't taking shorts, then why the hell should I
If the government is taking advantage of me, why shouldn't I take advantage too?

Elites be draped in sheets and hide the cheese under a bed of lies and
The rich and powerful hide their wealth and manipulations under lies and deceptions.

There's always heat to fill the need we see if bread is rising
When people are struggling financially, there is always a need for illegal means of making money.

And fame is tantalizing, wealth is hypnotizing
People are easily drawn to fame and wealth.

Neighborhoods been gentrifying, none of this should be surprising
It's not surprising that neighborhoods are being taken over by wealthier people.

Tryna buy my silence by demolishing a statue
Someone is trying to silence me by removing a symbol or reminder of my history.

Yo bigotry's disguised until a camera phone can catch you
People hide their prejudices until they are caught and exposed.

That's the reason we raging, sick of the spit in our faces
We are angry and protesting because we are tired of being disrespected and oppressed.

Seats at the table is changing, ain't have a spot so we made it
We are taking control of our lives and creating our own opportunities.

Never!
An interjection of defiance and determination.
