It's My Life
TJ CASES and THE CUT & PLAY FAMILY Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

My life is the way
How I wanna live it
My life is the way
What I make it to be
My life is the way
How I choose to live it
Everyday making a better me
My life is the way
How I wanna live it
My life is the way
What I make it to be
My life is the way
How I choose to live it
Everyday making a better me
They wanna know all the tricks
Up my sleeve
They wanna know
How I get the food I eat
They wanna know do I just pray and believe
They wanna know do I get it in on the street
Or do I give back what I get
They wanna know all the specifics
my personal intentions
Or why I keep some friends distance
My life is the way
How I wanna live it
My life is the way
What I make it to be
My life is the way
How I choose to live it
Everyday making a better me
My life is the way
How I wanna live it
My life is the way
What I make it to be
My life is the way
How I choose to live it
Everyday making a better me
No holding back
I got one life I gotta live
Being true to myself
Never asking for help
That’s what it is
Lively consciously each day
Not thinking bout’ what I can’t change
I’m examining all of the lanes
Patient like drying the paint
You choose your vibe
Just to ignite your life
Not a day will go by
I’ll struggle to thrive
My life is the way
How I wanna live it
My life is the way
What I make it to be
My life is the way
How I choose to live it
Everyday making a better me
My life is the way
How I wanna live it
My life is the way
What I make it to be
My life is the way




How I choose to live it
Everyday making a better me
