Put My Life on This
Song by Mogli the Iceburg
Another day and we just try to make away now
The hatred growing stronger every single day now
I hear these rappers, they ain't tryna talk about it, they ain't tryna get involved
They would rather catch a wave now
But how cool is the gunplay when the strays will hit the playgrounds huh
But never mind about that, 'cause once you make it out you think this world just don't affect you any more
Until somebody from your past come back to settle the score
Like 2Pac on September 7th
Man in this fight against hate, love the greatest weapon
So if you tryna walk with me said the cycle gonna stop right here
My God gave his life for mine so I can make this clear
The more and more my name has grown because of music the more that I see
It ain't about the music but the way that I use it
So go head, keep on rappin' about all the choppers and your drugs
I'll be here just holdin' down for the people and the love, yeah
Oh I was drownin' in the wave with you
I was drownin' in the wave with you
I was drownin' in the wave with you Ooh oh
I put my whole life on this, I put my whole life on this
I put my whole life on this, I put my whole life on this
Stop it, y'all not poppin', stuntin' on the ground feel wise
Running for the check no I says
Pumpin' in the pose like broad skirt
Stuntin' on your kinfolk
Pullin' up, sittin' on rens lo
Dope boy got a Benz, now I need a Benzo
I wanna cop the form, that's a better investment
Call 0-800 and had the kids kiss 'em
Always see through the ten and in
Other dudes see the rims I see the life on the real
I don't really see the win all I see is the
I ain't preachin' to ya dad I don't mean to offend
But I mean Lord bled and died for the life that you live
Oh I was drownin' in the wave with you
I was drownin' in the wave with you
I was drownin' in the wave with you Ooh oh
I put my whole life on this, I put my whole life on this
I put my whole life on this, I put my whole life on this
People say that drowning is actually a really peaceful way to die
It's not difficult to see why
After the shock and hysteria passes, after fluids violently fill your lungs as you struggle to hold your breath
A certain serenity takes hold of you after you surrender
But you don't die immediately, you become numb
And the longer that you're under, the more you forget what could have been
And you lose perspective on what's about to happen
I was drowning in something different
Losing perspective
Basking in the illusion of freedom
Numb to the reality that death was soon approaching
This wasn't the design
We were made for more
And I chose to live
The hatred growing stronger every single day now
I hear these rappers, they ain't tryna talk about it, they ain't tryna get involved
They would rather catch a wave now
But how cool is the gunplay when the strays will hit the playgrounds huh
But never mind about that, 'cause once you make it out you think this world just don't affect you any more
