What is life? I been wondering What is my life? When my cousin went down, they gave him life I can't talk right now, I'm livin' my life I'm livin' my life
Fourteen, begging for change on street corners Tryna catch that city bus, hustle up three quarters Couple hours made twenty dollars back of that bus smellin' sour Somebody ain't take a shower, but nonetheless I get off, walking down Colfax to get my music Was too infatuated with rapping to be a shooter Mama linked me with this producer who had steam My rap dream's now in the hands of a crack fiend My life, hadn't made much of it, was still growin' My life, optimistic, excited, I'll keep goin' Then I died
Today, we bury the old self The one driven by pain and performance that version has died
[Part II]
Uh, uh, yeah, uh, wake up (wake up) Uh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (yeah) Uh, yeah, yeah, yeah, wake up (in his place stands a new creation) Uh, yeah, yeah (alive in Christ, walking in faith)
Killin' off what was old Brand new life, I rose Died at the foot of the cross Woke up right next to the throne Look, if I cut this leash It might go bad for ya I got some angels and saints in the heavens Who might call my Dad on ya, yeah Call collect if you collecting charges Pardon me, but I can get you pardoned Part of me is partial, but He probably Part the sea with a stick when He come through I gave my life like an offering I gave my life at the alter Altered my ego from tryna be 'migos with evil They wanted to off me Off of me and on to Him I been off and on again All my kids was born in sin Jesus, make 'em born again Some us related by birth Some us related by blood If you know the difference, then you go the distance 'Cause you know the meaning of love (life)
