Craig Gillespie - That’s Life lyrics

rate me

Or is this a vision in my mind

Or is this a vision in my mind

Yo, they done set the system off for us to fail, we in a trap

Know you got the odds against you specially if you young and black

What it take to put my city on the map

Pasadena, I’mma go and catch my dream and bring it back

So it’s really good

People go for … in their mouth, what a Benz, criticizing anything that you about

Keep it coming ‘cause I’m coming for your head

Nothing out of spite, this is how I got it going

This is life, this is life, this is

I ain’t even tripping on y’all, I ain’t even tripping on y’all

What can I say, haters gonna hate, all day the same

Don’t hate the player, go and hate the game

They don’t really wanna see you get by

But if they don’t wanna move, I’mma make a lane

‘Cause we working hard just to make a name

Young Jacky Robin tryna change the game

Young black kid and I’m proud enough to be invited

Niggas don’t like, ain’t try to see me on a mission, God

They would rather see me caught up in the system, dog

That’s like, they ain’t tryna see us back in the White House

Thank God for Barack, the man gave hope to a kid on the block

That’s why I’m coming for your head

Nothing out of spite, this is how I got it going

This is life, this is life

Please tell me, tell me if we all slaves

What we all gonna do to stop the masses

They got control, they put drugs in the hood, let the cops arrest us

Man, let us live, excuse me, officer, is you about to arrest me or not

‘Cause I ain’t did nothing, you tryna just test me and question me

Tryna get the best of me, no, it’s not gonna work

I’m not gonna tell, never been a rat, matter fact I ain’t never had to sit in no cell

Except one time and that’s ‘cause I had a hella weed on me, one time

Should’ve been a slap on the wrist, but it’s cool, on to the next play

Funny thing about it, I wouldn’t even trip

But I just got my diploma like the very next thing, what’s good

That’s why I’m coming for your head

Nothing out of spite, this is how I got it going

This is life, this is life

They say more money, more problems

Soon as you start grinding, getting them commas

They just wanna reach for that lama and check for them pockets

Boy, stop it, wish we was living in a motel

So pops pushing that pop light, Magic Johnson, it’s desperate times

Dog, game seven so we gain reset

Not hasty and my momma cry, yeah, it hurts to see

She ain’t tryna see the worst for me, adversity, jail or a hears for me

But God got me

That’s why I’m coming for your head

Nothing out of spite, this is how I got it going

This is life, this is life

Or is this a vision in my mind

Or is this a vision in my mind
