This Life Ain`t Mine - 케로 원
Once upon a time
there was a kid named Michael
he'd write about his life but with
so many typos
like when he wrote
live it should have said love
and when he wrote
hit he really meant hug
but he couldn't dig a hole
that's already been dug
like you couldn't smoke a bowl
and not call it a drug
his story so imperfect
but that's what made it beautiful
at times like a circus
but that's what made it suitable
at a school where kids
used words like dudacle
awesome and radical with care
free attitudes
but as life went on
he put trust in songs
like when he heard BAD
he put gloves on his palms
when Biv sang
Poison he new jack swung
and when he heard BDP
yo his brain went num
that's when he got
struck by that hiphop bug
and those that
had it were the only ones that
new what's up
the beginning of a story
he'd write in bed
which developed into tears
and an ending that read
Check the rhyme
and check the rhyme one time
now check the rhythm
its the life of mine
Check the rhyme
and check the rhyme one time
I feel delivered
when this life aint mine
Check the rhyme
and check the rhyme one time
now check the rhythm
its the life of mine
Check the rhyme
and check the rhyme one time
I feel delivered
when this life aint mine
As the story unfolded
the plot did thicken
when michael played with
dirt that soap couldn't rid him
hanging with a crowd
that clouded his decisions
they doubted he was Christian
by the way that he was living
but not a misfit to
most your average Joe blow
minus a bit of lying or a
run in with Po Po
and time to time put
his mind in slow mo
puffin marijuana till motivation
was no show
then took his mental photos and
wrote em in a notepad
utilizing metaphors and
rhyming his vocab
unsigned hella broke and
still at his folks pad
he crawled back to church
home turf since dads gonads
Mike knew life meant
more than getting by
living for fame money
girls or getting high
he heard good deeds
could never get him to heaven
but only through grace and the
son that God sent in
and that's when
he felt shivers set in
palms sweating
off his feet it swept him
a concept so deep he couldn't sleep
he fell to his knees as tears
hit the concrete
and it wasn't concrete where
mike was headed next
but in faith he stepped as
he developed this text
Check the rhyme
and check the rhyme one time
now check the rhythm
its the life of mine
Check the rhyme
and check the rhyme one time
I feel delivered
when this life aint mine
Check the rhyme
and check the rhyme one time
now check the rhythm
its the life of mine
Check the rhyme
and check the rhyme one time
I feel delivered
is like hanver
Now this concept not complex
but in context a contest
a constant conflict
with conscience to conquest
the accomplice
promoting Mikes destruction
peddling greed
self righteousness and corruption
but Mike couldn't win or
even be that good kid
he needed help to
find out how he could live
he wrestled pride until
a few left hooks hit
and accepted Christ
and everything he could give
but Michael didn't care
as people smirked and stared
some gave him props
but inside Michael always cheered
he knew his choice was right
and at times thought twice
but he believed the word
cause the word it brought light
and he got it
he'd always be a man of sin
but as long as
Christ atoned Mike was free within
so he grabbed a pen
without hesitation
and called his friends
bout plans that he'd be breaking
and wrote this story
he kept in his head
entitled this life aint
mine and it read
Check the rhyme
and check the rhyme one time
now check the rhythm
its the life of mine
Check the rhyme
and check the rhyme one time
I feel delivered
when this life aint mine
Check the rhyme
and check the rhyme one time
now check the rhythm
its the life of mine
Check the rhyme
and check the rhyme one time
I feel delivered
its the life of mine
