It's My Life
N.Y. Pianoman Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
They are laughing at us, man!
They're pointing the finger at us
Don't let us begin to make it, huh?
You know what? Fuck y'all!
Let's go!
Hey operator I need a favor
If only I could have one wish
I would like to call my dad
Ask him if I’m good or bad
Should I stick to the plan or
Should I leave like this
Dear Dad, life’s a struggle
All I have is sore knuckles
Should wear them binoculars
And I have love for the music
And love for the grooving
And man when I feel it
I just can’t stop moving
I have tons of good friends
But there’s no merc benz
Yet tho ‘cause I’m on success
Mode with my band
Called Afromental and even if
We’re done with it man, I’ll remember
Still people piss me off
Greedy and creepy them all
Haters playing their roles
Jealousy is fucking raw
All I wanna do is make my mama proud
Old love not finished but already done
That’s my life
I woke up this morning and the
Light was shining on me (shining on me)
I heard a voice in my head: 'Stand up
Feel the morning breeze (morning breeze)
It’s gonna give you a lot of hope
You’re gonna go where you wanna go'
I’m gonna live my way you
Won’t be stopping me (woah, woah, woah)
It’s my life! (it is my life)
It’s my life! (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
I’ll still be chasing dreams
It’s my life, my life!
It’s my life, my life!
Like it was meant to be
It ain’t just came to me
Places, faces o’ 21st century
Havin’ a plan but more of a fantasy
It wasn’t vivid but I claimed to see
The more you learn the more you get
Life is a lesson and a game
But not easy to bet
Travellin’ back and back through
The memo saved livin’ it up
Dravin’ the life line with all decisions made
I can’t live without my music
It’s the air I breathe and
Never gonna loose it
Can’t live without my family and friend
Cause they show me the way
How to bear the struggles every day
And when I make a mistake and fall down
I know they always will be by my
Side helping my to get up
I love you for that one love
Good people and fuck you all evil minds
That’s the way I am it’s my life
Even though I know
I’m ahead of the game and headin’
For fame I ain’t never
Gonna be ready to become a vanity slave, man
Even though when I came these other cats been
Buried and carried away
Promise already been made
I’ma stay the same and stay killin’em
Proud no matter if I make a thou or a million
Pool full of cash, dive for a minute in it?
Love ain’t living in it
I ain’t even swimming in it
Cause it ain’t all about the
Money baby or dating
Another honey maybe Halle Berry hottie daily
It’s my life and there’s more to
It and I’m gone to it
Do it and no matter what it
Is I’ma go through it
Ready to get to know myself better even
If reality will hit in
The face like Mayweather
It’s my life and I’m seeking
The purpose shit is
Down to earth put your ear to the surface
I’ll do what it takes to find the place
Where I can find the perfect harmony
