My Life (Soundtrack)

Chorus
My life it be the soundtrack for a movie that was never written
My life it be the soundtrack
My life it be the soundtrack
My life it be the soundtrack for a movie never written
My life it be the soundtrack
My life it be the soundtrack

Verse 1

Check the receipts at the gate you’ll find it ain’t hidden
But the script, it was written for me and I got to live this
Mother forgive this,
I’m caught up in the business
Slipping sideways on the path, in the aftermath
I’m just this side of the bloodbath, emerging past
Mad college degrees
But knowledge honed in the street
Nothing but a mike in my hand
To rock the dope beat
Armed with a deejay
The ghetto instant replay
Trying to bring a better day
Tell me what you got to say
If it’s nothing, better back off me ‘
Cause real Gs ain’t rapping when they doing U silently
Positioned in the cut where the lights be dim
But like a sentinel I monitor, take notice of them
Devise and strategize the method
Recalibrate and then correct it
Shift mental frames in the brain, bring the pain
A verbal ethic.

Verse 2

My life it be the soundtrack for a movie never written
I’m here to bring back the testaments you be forgetting
Original man back, the prophecy foretold
I received the charge at 5 years old
To represent God, given power rule and tame things
Solid gold mike to contradict all them game things
Airwave flight, third eyesight, and all the vision
I’m dropping this, necropolis, be filled with competition
So why you even wanna step and challenge the master
The mason is my son, you carved out your disaster
Three sixty from thirty-three is just unattainable
Got a box and lock on negativity, restraining you
Head back to the shop room floor with your designing
Back to your corner, next time, come out rhyming
Born in six seven, now I clock three six
That’s the god force numbers when you caught up in my mix.
