[Verse 1: Rowlan]
Yeah, hey
Government control
Riots in the streets
The clashing of alliances
People verse police
People want freedom
Cops want power
Reality is casualty, they murder every hour
They try to hold me but they can't
I try to hold my stance while these angels and demons dance
Oh man, this will be a good story to tell
If I live to have a kid, just him that daddy fell
And all I ask is that he carry on my legacy
I've had this premonition they'll Murder me for my tendencies
It might happen son I need you at the ready
Protect your mother, if they enter, go ahead break the levee
[Chorus: Rowlan]
This ain't what I'm in life for
This ain't what I'm in life for
This ain't what I'm in life for
This ain't what I'm in life for
I won't change who I am
I won't follow your lead
I won't live by your rules
I won't poison my seed
I won't tell em be this
I won't tell em be cool
I won't tell em limitations
Imma tell em be you
Imma tell em be you
3x
[Verse 2: Rowlan]
Yeah
Real is my description,and that's all I ever been
I seek a higher power but, all I do is sin
In this life you either winning or you losing
You either making moves or you the one that they moving
I pray I float, and never sink
So All I do is calculate, I don't ever think
I try to tell em', the future ain't what it used to be
But closed minds only open to what they choose to see
They don't get it, and they never will
Keep fearing all the things you hearing, til' your spirits k**ed
Keep listening to all the hate of people often vent
And take advice from this world until you got nothing left
[Chorus: Rowlan]
This ain't what I'm in life for
This ain't what I'm in life for
This ain't what I'm in life for
This ain't what I'm in life for
I won't change who I am
I won't follow your lead
I won't live by your rules
I won't poison my seed
I won't tell em be this
I won't tell em be cool
I won't tell em limitations
Imma tell em be you
Imma tell em be you

[Verse 3: Rowlan]
You see society has Placed me in the driver seat, I didn't ask
They always asking me my purpose, I just pin the gas
No explanation, exclamation, forget the saying
What goes around comes around, and start praying
Cause not much can save you, you better grab some faith
And get rid of that device, that the richest men can trace
They coming fast but they ain't taking my guns
And I ain't no conservative, but no one k**s for fun
Only stupid people k**ing people daily
And you wonder why our generations nothing short of crazy?
We born in a world that humanity has ruined
We ran by the leaders that for years satin's been screwing
Confused out of place, and out place confused
All running around, fearful of all there is to lose
But the truth is, we born with a vision
We Eagles to begin but they turn us into pigeons
Grow, proceed, and lead the whole flock
And never underestimate the power of a talk
I refuse to be a program, cause that's how they make us
So all that we can do is hope and pray, something with save us
[Chorus: Rowlan]
This ain't what I'm in life for
This ain't what I'm in life for
This ain't what I'm in life for
This ain't what I'm in life for
I won't change who I am
I won't follow your lead
I won't live by your rules
I won't poison my seed
I won't tell em be this
I won't tell em be cool
I won't tell em limitations
Imma tell em be you
Imma tell em be you
