Ricky J - My Life lyrics

From a corner to the Big Apple They used to tell me Rick, to make it, it's a big ha**le And that my momma taught me instead it's a big gamble They chose the free for all to see Yea I did that too, every kid has to Amateur nights, I be rappin on mic See me with the sleaziest players when I'm back in the night Even if you black or you white I'll still be Attracting to hype No advanc I ain't royalty yet I got a pay cut on my first royalty check I got my name misspelled and they ain't notice me yet I got a hole in my apartment where my toilet is kept Record labels owin them debts and they ain't spotted Me yet (hook) And that's My life That's the way that I live, it's just My life You can like it or not cuz it's My life That's the way that I live, it's just My life I don't give up (Chorus) This is your life This is your way This is your day to shine shine shine This is your life This is your way This is your day to shine shine shine All the girls used to laugh at the hatchback I had back In '86 no tense It was a Mazda Eatin at Mickie Dee's was a luxury My main girl of three years breakin up with me Now she's there and I'm here, my mom's here, my boys here And every chick I see wants my company RJ Entertainment, that's my company First you were chumpin me, now you want a cut from me Ain't it awful tellin me you ain't impressin me right Local players tellin me you don't be testin me right Now I got the recipe right I need some respect And when my tape's in the deck Y'all be pressin rewind (hook) (Chorus) Now it's often I'm on skin Like Johnson & Johnson Blinds up my Johnson Man, it's just nonsense They come from Georgie to Boston Yea I'm sure y'all want some Even your girls in Wisconsin And when it rains my hood'll be down Now I'm rainin over your cats You should look at me now I used to over react to be opening act Even if the show wasn't phat I still go on and rap It's just the look of the crowd before they looked at me foul My accountant crooked and foul We all start mumblin 5 percent of 7 cents I think I lost publishin My eyes closed no money made Though my single went gold (hook) (Chorus 2x)
