Lyrics:

[Intro]

Chyea. People are always asking

"What is the meaning of life?"

And uh my personal philosophy is that

Life is what you make it

You choose what you want the meaning of your life to be

So, this is my life

Let me talk to 'em

[Verse 1]

The story of my life is weaved in harmony and artistry

This music is a part of me like blood is to an artery

Hardest go the farthest less abrasive in my armory

I love being an artist but this industry has hardened me

Underappreciated, it could be scene related

Every album's been fire and I never deviated

But my fans alleviate it, they feel my pain I paint it

On the tapestry of music and through every lyric stated

My struggle is abated though my hunger isn't sated

I'm a man full of emotion though it's rare to hear me say it

I'm getting stopped for pictures now I think I might be famous

But these DJs never play me like they don't know what my name is

I guess you're slow dummy, my flow is so money

And I'm slicker with the pen than half these rock and roll dunnies

But I'm sick of slow money, and in need of more honeys

I think it's time to sell out for that pop and show money, oh!

[Hook]

Don't do it man (nah)

Don't do it man (nah)

Don't do it man

Nah don't do it (why not?)

This is my life, this is my life!

This is my life, this is my life!

And I hustle hard, paid my dues

Gained my fans, made the news

Twenty thou, sold the truth

Nowadays I’m hater-proof! (chyeeea!)

This is my life, this is my life

This is my life, this is my life

[Verse 2]

I’ll trade the stress and all the hours and the hate that runs with it

For the glory and the power and the fate that comes with it

Make money for the music not the other way around

But if I want to feed a mil I can't be broke and unrenowned

Rather die and be remembered than live and be forgotten

Can’t be rotting in a cubicle I’d rather get it popping

I’m flexing my abilities and teaching like a prophet

But it’s hard to find stability when speaking for a profit

People try to fool you when they think that they can manage it

Industry will screw you if you never practice abstinence

Labels with no plans signing artists with no fans

Even then they get the rawest deal 360 is a scam

Recoup at 8% so even gold you owe money

And no one's going gold these fans don't want to blow money

Now your label is losing weight they’re trying to eat your show money

Plus the merch, plus the sync until you're left with no money, oh!

[Hook]

[Verse 3]

I’m flowing hotter than a kettle now, handsome and in fettle now

Friends are always asking “Zuby, when you gonna settle down?”

Why? I don’t really see the rush

And unless you’re trying to wife me I don’t really see the fuss

To tour in every country and win a million Grammys

And drive a purple Lambo round a villa in Miami

A couple humble goals, a healthy way to please a family

So I’m cool being an uncle I don’t care to be a daddy

Or hubby or whatever honestly the thought puts fear in me

I’ll prolly tie it one day but the knot is not so near to me

Know that ambition’s probably bigger than a planet

You’ve never chased a vision then you wouldn’t understand it

Some say that I’m a dreamer cuz I say I want it all

There’s only one life to live and I’m not settling to crawl

That finished as a baby you get nothing if you I cry

I’m a grown ass man I’ll only get it if I try, so...

[Hook]

Go do it man (chyea!)

Go do it man (chyea!)

Go do it man

Yeah, go do it (hell yeah!)

This is my life, this is my life

This is my life, this is my life

And I'll hustle hard, pay my dues

Gain my fans, make the news

Hundred thou, sell the truth

Always gon’ be hater-proof! (chyeeea!)

This is my life, this is my life

This is my life, this is my life
