Ear to The Beat - In This Life lyrics

[Intro] same kids that you know [Verse 1: Jay Stone] Had a little bit of faith so I threw it on the line Sitting out here independent everyone is getting signed People say they listen but it s**s that they're blind It doesn't matter if they hear you if they do not see my grind In the morning I wake up Tell god I'm thankful Doing my own thing now Breaking out all of these shackles I hate when people hold me to the standard of what I gotta be It's funny cuz you all are fake Well that's what I see They hate the ones that will try to be known So i guess my best bet is to work hard and lay low I'm a diamond in the ruff so I can't help The glow I'm just waiting for a label I'll keep checking my phone I don't know what you expect from me I swear you'll be impressed with me I'm like the only one spitting with vitality I'm on my way I know u would agree I got that small town Midwest Hard work mentality [Verse 2 Jay Stone] I know You win some and you lose some that's just how it goes Welcome to the life where you can get far Just based on who you know I'm in the spotlight So I'm staying on my toes Gotta Keep my options open So I know which way to go The pressures coming from all directions I stepped back and turned the pressure into a weapon Nows these records I'm sitting I'm on my OWN thing but Oprah hasn't heard of it yet Everybody's popping Mollys I ain't breaking a sweat The hate may seem so loud But they can't fade the music They really don't hate the song They just hate that I abuse it Opportunity is knocking And it's time I open up I'm finally getting noticed But you can't call my bluff I'm a laid back dude cuz I never get much sleep You would think I'm smoking dope that's what Mr. Reynolds thinks So I'm staying focused Got the future in my sight Just known I want it all In this life [Verse 3 : Mikey Wegs] Life is what you make it unless you make a change I remember bein 9 rhymin playin video games Tony hawk all up in my disc slot Sittin playin alone until my disc stops then what hip hop? This real music is my dream tho No one knows cause I keep it on the D Low Im goin in like a cart in a depot Pickin up materials to build up on my ego Bittin off your nails won't heal the scrathes off ya mind Regret the past means nothing unless you aligate your time But my clocks broke Im in a trans while my minds blown My eyes red while in blowin out this white smoke I think of the future and pray that my dreams come And if you work hard enough then youll achieve some So stand up for yourself and do you cause in this life you only live once and thats true (its real hip hop)
