It's My Life
Lil Rob feat. David Wade and Moox Lyrics

Never mind what I do, stick to you, let me live, it's my life
I don't need you to judge me, just let me live my life my way.

It's what I go through everyday
I'm just an average guy trying to get by like everyone else.

Let me tell you the type of things we go through, you know?
I'm going to share with you the real struggles and challenges of my daily life.

I rap about what's real and what I go through on the daily
My music is about my real life experiences and struggles.

It's crazy, like my neighborhood back in the 80's
My neighborhood was a wild and dangerous place in the 80s.

I've seen shit, I lived it, I know it, so I give it
I have firsthand experience with the harsh realities of life, and that's what I share in my music.

I can't stop and I won't stop until I'm finished
I'm dedicated to my music and will keep making it until I achieve my goals.

In the 90's you could find me on Hernandez with the homeboys
I used to hang out with my friends on Hernandez street in the 90s.

Lookin out for the chota, livin' la vida loca
We were always watching out for the cops, but still living it up and having a good time.

Look in my pockets, someone always had some fusca
Someone always had drugs on them, they were easy to find.

You know how it is, you rollin' through you keep trucha
When you're cruising around, you have to be careful and watch out for trouble.

Bullets flyin' I ain't lyin', I got hit by one
I've been in dangerous situations where bullets were flying, and I actually got hit by one.

Jefita cried, I almost died and it was just for fun
My mom was devastated and I almost died over something that was just a stupid game to others.

We're never doin' what we oughta be
We don't always make the best choices or do what we should.

Rest in peace to my homeboy Peewee
My friend Peewee died and I'm paying my respects.

Got shot by a cop in a robbery and honestly
Peewee was killed by a police officer during a robbery.

That part of our lifestyle is unsuitable
I don't condone or approve of the criminal aspects of my lifestyle.

Don't act like you don't know how it feels to go to a funeral
Death is a common occurrence in my community, and I'm sure you've experienced it too.

That's how we're livin' though and then we wonder
This is just the reality of our lives, even if it's not ideal, and we wonder why people judge us for it.

Why they look at us like we're some fuckin' criminals, you know
People stereotype us and assume we're all criminals because of where we come from.

I never left the pad without shavin' my head
I always made sure I looked sharp and presentable before leaving the house.

Getting cleaned up, creased up take a joint to the head
I would clean up and dress nicely, then smoke a joint before going out.

Never been to Juvie hall, never been to the pen
I've never been to juvenile hall or prison.

But to my homeboys, I'm someone you could depend on
My friends can always count on me to be there for them.

Used to use Crylon to write on fences and walls
I used to graffiti on walls and fences with Crylon spray paint.

Big block, Old English letters standin' 10 feet tall
My graffiti tags were large, blocky, and in Old English lettering.

United we stand, divided we fall
If we stick together, we're strong and can overcome anything. But if we're divided, we're weaker and more vulnerable.

Tighter than some 1218's two sizes small
We're close-knit and loyal to each other like a tight-fitting pair of shoes.

Smile now, cry later, fuck it, why cry at all?
We try to enjoy life in the moment and not worry too much about the future or past regrets.

And if we ever got busted homeboy, deny it all
If we ever got caught by the police, we would deny any involvement or knowledge of the situation.

We didn't do shit, they can't prove shit and even if they could
Even if we did do something wrong, we would deny it and say the police have no evidence to prove it.

You never pulled rat or you're not welcomed back to the hood
If you ever snitch on your friends or community, you'll be ostracized and not welcome back.

You're known as no good, that's how it was, that's how it is
If you don't follow the code of the streets, you'll be seen as untrustworthy and unreliable.

Fuck your predicament, get your ass killed for that shit
If you betray your friends or community, you're putting your life at risk.

You don't believe me? I don't care if you do or if you don't
I'm not trying to convince you, I'm just speaking my truth.

I'm just sayin' what the fuck I've been through and it's no joke
I'm sharing my experiences, which have been extremely difficult and serious.

I get the smallest wires, wrap 'em with the smallest tires
I roll very thin joints, using the thinnest rolling papers.

Blaze more trees than the San Diego wild fires
I smoke a lot of weed, more than the wildfires that sometimes occur in San Diego.

I get higher to inspire rhymes
I smoke weed to get into a creative flow and come up with lyrics.

Say some shit to inquire minds and make sure they admire mine
I want to impress and inspire others with my lyrics and thoughts.

Make 'em wonder what the fuck goes on in this mind of mine
I want people to be intrigued and curious about my thoughts and experiences.

I'm a cool dude, we can blow up for the final time
I'm a laid-back person and we can party and have a great time together.

It's all the same, ain't nothing changed, it's still this style of mine
My music and lifestyle may not have changed much over the years, but that's just who I am.

Neighborhood music, talkin' about how we do shit, we cruise it
My music is about my neighborhood and the way we live and have fun.

We sometimes lose it and act foolish but who doesn't?
We all make mistakes and can act recklessly at times.

'Cause a ruckus, fuck it, that's what you're stuck with
We don't care if we cause trouble or make noise, that's just who we are and what we do.

Products of the barrio, got no where to go but we gotta go
We're a product of our environment and upbringing, but we have to keep moving forward.

They ask me where I'm goin', shit I dunno
I don't always know what my future holds or where life will take me.

Around the town, see who's around, see who's down
I like to travel around and see who's around to hang out with and who's loyal to me.

To get a twelve pack and a pound
To buy a twelve-pack of beer and a pound of weed.

I'm lookin' for the answer at the bottom of a bottle
I often turn to alcohol to help me escape my problems or find clarity.

It's just my luck I gots no luck, no California Lotto
I never seem to have much good luck, even though I live in California where the lottery is big.
