My Life (feat. R.O.D.) - E-40, R.O.D.

Still thirsty determined and motivated

If you hustle like me, then we probably related

Real niggas ain’t never outdated, peanuts to a elephant

Look at my ballin' ass, mayne, I’m still relevant

I remind me of me, one of one

Snappin' like a snapping turtle, bustin' like a Tommy Gun

Let my nuts hang over my shoulder — fearless

With the wickedest flow on the planet — resickolous

Hoe ass niggas can’t stand it — bitches

How did he manage to stay in demand for this?

— Long

He been on since I was born, and now I’m grown

E-40 go back like Fila jackets and brick phones

Beepers and dookie ropes and Fleetwood Broughams

D-boy equipment, Eastmont and Hilltop Mall

You talk it, I lived it, you can ask my partner Paul

Quit the D game and went independent, boy, I helped pioneer this

For every dollar I make it breeds jealousy, yeah

(But I’m just living my life, oh yeah)

I’m just trying to live, my life, my life

But I could never understand why they hating on me, oh

(But I’m just living my life, oh yeah)

I can’t live my life, my life, my life

«You know I ain’t gon' shit you 'cause you my real best turf»

That’s what my relative said to me when we were smoking on some herb

I said, «Give it to me straight, don’t give me to me late

I hope you’re on some real 'cause I don’t wanna hear no fake»

He said, «Cuz» (what's happening?) «These niggas ain’t cool»

(Why you say that?) «I think we got a leak in our pool

They talking behind your back and blaming you for they faults

They were talking to their batch and murder mouthing a boss»

Mayne, as much as I done did for for fools, that’s how they gon' do me, dude?

Niggas don’t wanna see niggas win, niggas wanna see niggas lose

Threw the old rules out the window and created their whole new set of rules

It’s been ugly ever since they took praying up out the schools

But I refuse, to be phony, mayne, this is true

Real niggas forgive these fake niggas for they know not what they do

Sucka shit is at an all-time high, spread like the flu

If you hang around sucka shit, sucka shit gon' rub off on you

That’s real

For every dollar I make it breeds jealousy, yeah

(But I’m just living my life, oh yeah)

I’m just trying to live, my life, my life

But I could never understand why they hating on me, oh

(But I’m just living my life, oh yeah)

I can’t live my life, my life, my life

«Loan me a couple of dollars, mayne, let me hold somethin'

I know you got 'em, my nigga, you got three albums comin'»

I got kids just like you, why you don’t understand?

I dont owe you nothin', nigga, you a grown man

Fools try to test me 'cause I rap, think I got too much to lose

But I’ll green light a sap, him and his dudes

I’m just a genuine guy that don’t bother nobody

I just look like this, but I’ll body somebody

Get 'em up outta the way 'fore they try to get me up out the way

It’s ugly out here in the Bay, the clouds is dark gray

If they bit you once, they’ll bite you again, gotta have tough skin

Beware of the hand that hides the snake, could be your best friend

For every dollar I make it breeds jealousy, yeah

(But I’m just living my life, oh yeah)

I’m just trying to live, my life, my life

But I could never understand why they hating on me, oh

(But I’m just living my life, oh yeah)

I can’t live my life, my life, my life
