Mikey Jay - Life lyrics

[Verse 1] I watched my parents marry in 2000 I watched my life change in 2000 I watched myself outside of boundaries And let the emptiness all bound me And those kids on the playground didn't care We all knew we had to stay there And I met a big supporter at my day care Me and five others would just play there Then I went to read books and became rare My gla**es on, and my long hair I met other people who would dare To defy all the obstacles that laid there I had to find pieces of my dreams And re-sew them on these seams And complete my reality by all means And not everything was what it all seems To be, that this world is a hurtful Earth Where people die and it's not the worse A ma** genocide heard over several hertz And the images of planes now still hurts Men became savages when a girl flirts Some people sell dope because they think it all works Benefits of growing up is knowing all the perks It's either money or not giving in to all the jerks You just gotta know what works Live your life, this is the season to get it back Live it right, this is the reason to stay on track [Verse 2] I watched people go, especially Kathy And at one point, we were both happy But now we don't talk and it's strange How you get so close and then you change Now some friends I have have kids of their own And a couple others dropped out and bought a home And in this world, it seems people remain alone And we strive to be in this zone Where we stay and our success is all overgrown And a capital could never all be blown If I had it, maybe I would give back I know some public schools that would like that The day I wrote to Linda Coval, I set a goal I never looked back, I always was on a roll Them teachers in the back that were throwing shade Said I couldn't behave and that I would repeat fourth grade But hear me now, I'm the student to be Your eyes must be blind if you couldn't believe I took it all to heat and made this real Put some salt in your blood, tell me how it feels And I hope you realize doubt is poisonous now I'm the equivalent of the hardest liquor that you've taken down But my illest will is a blessing So I just had to learn this lesson Live your life, this is the season to get it back Live it right, this is the reason to stay on track
