What a Strange Life Lyrics

I don't know why all my tears are made up of diamonds

I think that's my depression paying off my silence

I live day-to-day life like it's autopilot

Every day I look in the mirror and get reminded

That time doesn't wait for your cosign

Drugs and sex are the perfect ways I would waste mine

I give you more of myself in each of these lines

Then I give the woman that loves me, hmm, what a strange life

What a strange life

We're gathered here today to turn these words into a pray

I wish that I could look at you and tell you I'ma change

But I'm a different man now, animalistic in a way

Why would I stop when I know I could profit off the pain

Next on my list, I'ma need a blood diamond chain

I'm going to hell for the minerals it contains

Lately I was thinking that I was turning a page

Until recently, someone decided to say my name

I promise, both our prides set aside is not the same

I never understood pointing fingers for your blame

I never understood the joy that power brings

I wonder who's pulling the strings when behind the scenes

What a strange life

What a strange life

Reflecting on my life and all the choices that I made

Thinking bout my grandma while I'm standing by her grave

Thinking I could save face if we could just trade place

On cigarettes and ashtrays, I was leaving a bad taste

Found myself in a bad mood to a dark place

Locked myself away from the world to manage heartbreak

Or at least, everyone tells me that's what they all say

I salivate at the thought of the day that I graduate

To a better life, maybe to the one where I can sleep at night

I pray to Jesus Christ to help me find the light and lead this life

I'm right behind this mic, I fight the urge to sell my soul

Cause I'm too young and I don't really know the price

What a strange life

What a strange life

I always stand tall, especially when it comes to business

Mostly cause all of my moves are made independent

Never bitched about paying the out-of-pocket prices

Till they got greedy and started feeding into they vices

Grown men acting like bitches, hiding behind devices

Respect to me is something that I've always viewed as priceless

What you're hearing now, this is Michigan's finest

You ain't fucking with the Spartans, my new name Leonidas

I got a handful in Detroit that would say I'm the nicest

Ask Willie, ask Hustle, ask Van, ask Ted

I don't want you to die, I want you to wish for it instead

That's the only way we're even if you look inside my head

Why you think I got the word revenge tatted on my neck

This shit is not a joke, I don't tolerate disrespect

So basically, in summary, for what I'm trying to say

Is it could be tomorrow, but I know that it's not today

But you thought you wouldn't pay for that mess you tried to make

I try to mature and grow away from saying names

But this motherfucka, scammed me out of grand

Just so he can run to the streets and cop a couple xans

Take them pills out of your hand, learn how to be a man

It's the principle of this shit, a domino effect

If I let you get away with it, they think they got me next

I just know karma's a bitch and I hope it was worth the check, motherfucker
