My Life
Paul Wall Lyrics

Y'all don't know a thing, about my life
You have no idea what I’ve been through in my life.

In my life, a lot of haters talking shit
I have faced a lot of criticism and negativity in my life.

And I might, expose you hoes you out this bitch
And I might expose the fake people around me and cut them off.

And I ride, with the nine I won't fall or slip
I stay prepared and confident for any challenges I face and won’t back down.

If I die, they still will not get off my dick
Even after I’m gone, people will still talk about me and try to bring me down.

But I try, to survive like Destiny's Child
But I continue to try to survive and overcome challenges like the group Destiny's Child.

And I smile, cause they been trying to test me a while
I smile because even though people have constantly tested me, I have remained strong.

But I cry, cause not all my partnas alive
I cry because some of my friends and associates have passed away.

But I smile, cause I know all my partnas with God
But I also smile, because I believe they are in a better place now.

In my life, a lot of haters baller blocking my shine
I have experienced a lot of people trying to hold me back and prevent me from succeeding.

I stay calm, even though I ought to drop em a nine
I manage to stay level-headed, even though some people might deserve to be punished.

In my life, I make cash using hoes
I make money by using women.

And my Sprite, is purple so I'm moving slow
I am drinking a popular cough syrup with codeine, which slows me down.

On my side, my dogs moving rocks and hay
My associates are involved in drug dealing and other illegal activities.

And I slide, by how I'm chopping blades
I escape from police and other authorities by modifying my car's rims.

When I drive, I got a big cup of syrup
When I am driving, I have a large cup of cough syrup with me.

When I glide, I ride with a couple birds
When I am on a smooth ride, I am with a couple of attractive women.

In my life, I feel like I stand alone
I feel like I am alone in this world.

But you still wouldn't leave, out of San Anton'
But I know my true friends would never leave my side, even in tough times.

When I die, don't cry get high for me
When I pass away, don't mourn me but celebrate and remember me by getting high.

So you can feel, like you flying in the sky with me
So you can feel like you are with me even though I am no longer here.

In my life, I went from a straw hat to a crown
I have come a long way in my life, from humble beginnings to a successful life.

I been through a few up's, and a whole lot of downs
I have experienced both successes and failures in my life.

I take the good with the bad, however the ball bounce
I deal with life's ups and downs and take things as they come.

And lately, I've been walking on dangerous ground
Lately, I've been taking risks and living recklessly.

It feels like my own partnas, don't want me around
It seems like some of my friends don't want me to be part of their lives anymore.

Cause everybody in my crew, be trying to argue me down
My friends seem to be arguing and disagreeing with me more often recently.

They telling me I changed, and I'm not the same
They are telling me that I have changed as a person and am not the same as before.

But for the past three years, I've been saying the same thang
I have been consistent in my beliefs or what I've been saying for the past few years.

I've done a lot of dirt, but I don't brag about it
I have done things that I am not proud of, but I won't boast about them to others.

And since I don't rap about it, you don't know jack about it
Some people think they know everything about me, but they actually know very little since I don’t rap about everything in my life.

People see me being friendly, and they think they know me
Some individuals believe that they know me just because I am friendly or sociable with them.

But just cause I shake your hand, don't mean you my homie
However, just because I shake someone's hand doesn't make them my true friend or ally.

I got a personality complex, man I'm so complex
I have several different layers or complexities to my personality.

But if you come with plex, this ain't fun plex
But if someone comes at me with problems or conflict, it won't be a fun encounter.

I'm walking straight, but my mind's in a maze
I appear to be going in the right direction, but in my mind, I am still trying to figure everything out.

The only thing that I'm afraid of, is being afraid
The only thing I am scared of is feeling fearful.

I done stared death in the face, I ain't budge one inch
I have faced dangerous situations before but never backed down.

He here beating up myself, and I still don't flinch
Even while battling my inner demons or self-doubt, I manage to remain strong.

Somebody pinch me, I hope I'm dreaming
Sometimes, I can't believe everything that happens in my life and hope it's all just a dream.

I'm searching inside my heart, trying to find the meaning of my life
I am constantly trying to discover and understand the importance of my existence.

It ain't all about the hoes, gold and ice
My life isn't just about women, money and material possessions.

I go from down to up, up to down
I experience ups and downs in life, sometimes quickly.

In a blink of an eye, smiles turn to frowns
Life can change suddenly from positive to negative and a good mood can turn into a bad one.

Kings get crowned, the rich get rich
Those in power often stay in power and wealth only increases for the affluent.

Where everybody live, screaming life is a bitch
Many individuals complain about how difficult life can be.

I ball in the mix, and keep to myself
Even though I am social and enjoy being around people, I prefer to keep myself private sometimes.

I don't just want to be, another book on the shelf
I don't want to just blend in with everyone else and be ordinary.

A lot of y'all fakers, faking the game
Many people around me are fake or phony in how they live their lives.

I'm one of the real niggas, that's bringing the pain
I am one of the few genuine individuals who are willing to challenge the status quo.

I've seen hard times, so I spit hard rhymes
I have been through difficult times in my life and use that experience as inspiration for my lyrics.

I've been around, different people of all kinds
I have met people from various backgrounds and cultures throughout my life.

And to this day, I got a few riddle friends
Even now, I have only a select few trustworthy friends in my life.

Too many of y'all, that's so fake and pretend
Many people around me are fake and insincere in their behavior.

To be what you not, that's why you get got
Pretending to be someone you're not is why you get betrayed or taken advantage of.

Don't fuck with my life, that's all that I got
Don't mess with my life or my existence because that's all I have.
