I Live
Myron Butler & Levi Lyrics

This isn’t no black Friday we ain't selling cheap
This situation is not about quick deals or superficial transactions; it reflects the seriousness of our efforts and values.

Bring in it on nothing come free can’t afford to sleep
We must be prepared for challenges because nothing worthwhile is given freely, and we cannot afford complacency.

The world is for the taking that’s if you believe
Opportunities are abundant for those who have faith in themselves and their potential to achieve.

Break-of dawn roll al3af then I roll up my sleeves
As the day begins, I awaken my spirit and prepare to work hard to realize my ambitions.

The reefur help me rise above the bullshit
Marijuana aids my enlightenment, allowing me to transcend negative distractions and struggles.

I finally kame in terms with the fact that am a misfit
I have accepted that I don't conform to societal norms, embracing my uniqueness.

Built different KOMPLEXX never basic in this hip-hop
I possess a unique complexity that sets me apart in the hip-hop industry, refusing to be ordinary.

Business got names that owe me credit
In this industry, there are influential people who recognize my contributions and owe me recognition or respect.

Aint trying to snitch about it save it for never
I have no intention of revealing secrets or betrayals; I choose to keep things to myself indefinitely.

I got 365 chances of doing better
Each day of the year presents a new opportunity for improvement and growth.

Cold world outside got to take care of your own
In a harsh reality, it is essential to look out for and support one’s own community and loved ones.

Appreciate life this the type of blessing we on
We must recognize and cherish the abundant blessings we experience in life.

Gifted with a flow that’s colder than my arteries
I possess an exceptionally smooth and powerful lyrical style, surpassing even coldness at my core.

I’m raising the bar making it out of reach
I am setting high standards for myself and others that are challenging to achieve.

It got to take a lot for you to get at me
Accessing my inner self or achieving my level of success requires significant effort and determination.

I’m chosen by God in my hood I’m YOUNG LUTHER KING
I feel divinely selected to enact change in my community, akin to the influential civil rights leader.

Have been tryna be the best version of me so I contest
I strive to improve myself continually, competing with myself to reach my full potential.

But it’s not working
Despite my efforts, I am often met with challenges and setbacks.

I stay open for a change
I remain receptive to new opportunities and transformations in my life.

Have been trying to make amends
I seek to reconcile past mistakes and improve my relationships and circumstances.

But it’s not working
Once again, my attempts at reconciliation are coming up short.

Seems not working
It feels as though my efforts are in vain and don’t yield the desired results.

But this is what I live for
Despite obstacles, my passion and dedication to my aspirations remain unwavering.

I was beneath the rock bottom praying for better days
I found myself in the deepest despair, yearning for a brighter future.

Through the hard times all I had was tunnel vision
During difficult periods, my focus was laser-sharp on my goals and what I needed to achieve.

Said to my self-boy you got to make a way
I motivated myself to find solutions and create opportunities, regardless of the obstacles.

The underdog God chose you for a bigger reason
As someone often overlooked, I believe I have a significant purpose ordained by a higher power.

Pardon my guts if I’m going against the grain
I seek forgiveness for stepping outside societal expectations and norms.

In the gutter nothing was sunny was praying for the rain
In my struggles, I found myself wishing for relief, using rain as a metaphor for cleansing and change.

In a double shift I was going through the pain
I worked multiple jobs to survive, enduring hardship and fatigue.

System causing traffic so I chose to take a different lane
Faced with systematic obstacles, I opted for alternative paths to achieve my goals.

Cause this life is not a competition
I believe life should not be viewed as a race against others; it’s about personal growth.

Play my part as am patiently waiting for my potion
I am fulfilling my responsibilities, awaiting my moment of success or breakthrough.

Roller blade I was putting motion
I was actively moving forward in life with grace and agility, much like skating.

Why you cold hearted? Told her I don’t got emotions
When confronted about my emotional detachment, I explained my struggles with vulnerability.

Story of my life in high definition
My experiences are vivid and detailed, shaped by challenges that have defined who I am.

True gospel far from the lies am not a politician
My message is authentic and sincere, lacking deceit or manipulation commonly found in politics.

Township kid with a message if you care to listen
I come from a humble background, yet I have important truths to share if you are willing to hear them.

Doing it for the hood Cause the odds said we will never make it
I strive to uplift my community, defying expectations that say we cannot succeed.

Have been tryna be the best version of me so I contest
Once again, I reiterate my ongoing effort to improve myself continually through self-challenge.

But it’s not working
Despite repeated efforts, I still encounter obstacles that hinder my progress.

I stay open for a change
I remain welcoming to new experiences and growth, always hopeful.

Have been trying to make amends
I continue to seek resolution and healing from past grievances.

But it’s not working
Once again expressing frustration with my unsuccessful attempts at improvement.

Seems not working
Emphasizing a consistent struggle with feeling unproductive.

But THIS IS WHAT I LIVE FOR!
Affirming a deep passion and purpose driving my existence, regardless of the challenges.
