It's My Life
T.J. Cases Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Cuz it's my life
Imma live it
Imma live it
Through the night
All these haters watching grossly
My my my...
Shadin' my light
I wonder why
(Oh my, my, my)
Cuz it's my life
Imma live it
Imma live it
Through the night
All these haters watching grossly
My my my...
Shadin' my light
I wonder why
(Oh my, my, my)
(T-t-t) Try me
Try me on the phone
And if it ain't 'bout money could you leave me alone?
(Got no receiver!)
For your stupid fuckin' package
Better burn that baggage
'Fore it takes advantage of you (You, You, You)
Baby take the L
Schizophrenic lovers
Get your rubbers from hell
Follow your leader
Made you a believer
Ignorant deceiver...
Don't ever wanna see ya!
Cuz it's my life
Imma live it
Imma live it
Through the night
All these haters watching grossly
My my my...
Shadin' my light
I wonder why
(Oh my, my, my)
Cuz it's my life
I don't need your opinion
I don't need to surrender
So what, I spent your Trump check?
Hope you'll survive this bender
Pounding
Pounding at my door
Left me on my own and now you're searching for my soul
(Don't want you back neither)
You always been a dreamer
Smokin' that sativa
Cuz he's only gonna leave ya!
Cuz it's my life (Oh!)
Imma live it
Imma live it (Oh!)
Through the night
All these haters watching grossly
My my my... (Oh!)
Shadin' my light
I wonder why
(Oh my, my, my)
Cuz it's my life (I don't need your opinion)
Imma live it
Imma live it
Through the night
All these haters watching grossly (I don't need to surrender)
My my my...
Shadin' my light (So what I spent your Trump check)
I wonder why




(Oh my, my, my) (Hope you'll survive this bender)
Cuz it's my life (J. Chevy!)
