That's Life Lyrics

I know some folk that's related by blood, but I know that they don't really care where I'm at

I knew some people who claimed to be friends until they found a chance to stab me in my back

It can be hard to keep all of that dirt off your hands when it seem like it keep coming back

Just like an ex how I crossed over tracks

I give it my best, can't afford to relax

I hope You're proud of me, yeah

There's been times I wasn't proud of me

Whoa, ooh

Corruption's a noun: person, place, or thing

Sin is like a whore, a side chick, a fling

Righteousness is what I'm aiming to ring

Forever my soul, hope it's not just a dream

I try to show love but it's returned in blood

But when I bottle up, err'body wants a jug

It's so hard to trust, vampires tryna suck

Can't invite em' in cause if you do, outta luck

Gotta watch my six or be caught by 12

I'm not a sweet lick, if your taste compels

And I pray for our kids, they catching hell

Israel's a stick, together we fell

I see the desecration of a nation

I see the bottom has become our placement

I see us working hard every single day but never offered a vacation

And all of that anger it turned into hatred, yeah

And now for no reason got brothers who walk by and hate me, yeah

Like err'body struggling to find they purpose

Asking, "why was I brought to this life"?

It's a head scratch, don't no body know for certain

Yet and still we still gotta live through this life

And it has up and downs, I done faced many blights

God knows, my load ain't never been light

What I tote in my soul, pure gold and it's bright

Had to go through that fire to get purified, I acquired new sight

Now I just be seeing things differently

And those who knew the old me know now that I am a different me

I had to change the course, the road I was going down it was never meant for me

But even after I became a new man there are ways that I ain't let go willfully

And that's to this day, but I know I'll be ok

God's been increasing my faith but with increase comes heavier weight

And the tests I been going through I can tell He prepping me to elevate

Like walking up a staircase, wait

Hot pursuit like a chase, aye

With doing good comes enemies, most be friends or your own family

Bar set now they really can't handle me

Wanna handle me, some hoping to put hands me

Wishing bad, they blow their own candles, see

When I called you ain't have no time for me

I was down on my back, progression had slacked, but you never hit me back like honestly

Yeah, huh, I see how you really feel

You showed your hand, cards on the table, now I know the deal

Oh, my bad for thinking the connection that it was real

Betrayed too many times that heart hardens it turns to steel

Let me tell you bout it, ain't too many times they treat me right

Let me tell you bout it, if you don't know that's just part of life

Let me tell you bout it, gotta guard yourself, protect your light

Let me tell you bout it, tell you bout it, alright!
