My Life

[Intro]
My life
My life
Isn't my life

[Verse 1]
What you know bout the grind in the street
He move and work out of town every week
I know about it
I know about it
What y'all know bout them girls on the pole
She make her money every night
Taking off her clothes
I know about it
Yep I know about it

[Pre-hook]
Cause all my life I've been struggling and stressing
That's why I come up in this bitch with aggression
Where I'm from niggas die everyday
Bet you ain't seen a nigga die right in ya face

[Hook]
The life The life
The sacrifice
The grind The grind
You get sometimes
I know about it
Don't judge if you know nothing bout it
You try and try to live right
But we get blinded by the life
I know about it
Don't judge if you know nothing bout it

[Verse 2]
These niggas turning hoes into wife's
Went in raw now you stuck with her for life
I know about it
Bet y'all know something about it
Three years he been doing the same thing
You can hang it up you'll never get a ring
Cause I know about it
Bet I know some thing about it

[Pre-hook]
Cause all my life I've been struggling and stressing
That's why I come up in this bitch with aggression
Where I'm from it ain't flowers and candy
I'm just happy the life didn't get me

[Hook]
The life The life
The sacrifice
The grind The grind
You get sometimes
I know about it
Don't judge if you know nothing bout it
You try and try to live right
But we get blinded by the life
I know about it
Don't judge if you know nothing bout it

[Verse 3: Meek Mill]
I said the life the life
The streets are a bitch and I made her my wife
I made her my wife
I couldn't afford but I made her my price
Cause under the lights the money the cars
Even the ice I wanted it all
Some nights we were up selling the raw
And ducking them D from a hell of charges
I wanted to shine amongst with the stars
I wanted to grind they telling me nah
I felt like these niggas was telling me starve
My mama she told me I'm headed for bars
Bars, and where did it take me
To a cell and a yard
Running bar with the killers
Talking fellas and all

[Hook]
The life The life
The sacrifice
The grind The grind
You get sometimes
I know about it
Don't judge if you know nothing bout it
You try and try to live right
But we get blinded by the life
I know about it
Don't judge if you know nothing bout it

Damn

[Verse 1:]
Mama said it would happen to me
But I never did believe
I'm young I'm fine I'm in my prime
This is not the time
To be sitting at home crying
While your ass is out here lying
Hang it up you can stop your trying
I'm giving up I'm done with love

[Bridge:]
It would be nice to love you
But I got too much to do
Everyday I'm thinking of you
I'm suppose to be bulletproof

[Hook:]
Damn, I'm feeling some kind of way
Oh damn, wanna love you but can it wait
Oh damn, it maybe hard to walk away
I'm feeling some type of way

[Verse 2:]
I tried but it didn't work
In love I always hurt
Should have never gave you my number
Could it work ain't never wondered
I got too much to lose
You got too much to prove
Don't wanna end up like them other dudes
Quick too go just lose

[Bridge]

[Hook]

[Verse 3:]
I'mma coward when it comes to love
Start to fall for someone
And then I run
From the hurt
From the pain
Sometimes you got take the chance
When you wanna love again

[Hook]

I Don't Like Me

Ta-ta-ta-ta

Laying in this bed with this man
I know it's sex, but I wish it was more!
Praying when he get out this bed
He'll feel the same way he did before!
But I know good damn well when he walks out of that door
I ain't gon' hear from him anymore.

[Hook:]
Cause if I let him do it, I did it to myself
And I was so dumb, I admit it, I need some help!
Cause all that I can see is she's prettier than me
Damn, I wish I had her body!
I can hear my self-esteem
I don't like me, me!

And I don't feel so pretty today
This mirror don't look the same
Thought I liked the woman I was
But people keep saying, "Change!"
Maybe they're right!
I made a mess of my life!
I don't know where or when I lost my sight!

[Hook:]
Cause if I let him do it, I did it to myself
And I was so dumb, I admit it, I need some help!
Cause all that I can see is she's prettier than me
Damn, I wish I had her body!
I can hear my self-esteem
I don't like me, me!

Can't Raise A Man

Listen,
He got older, but never grew,
For his life he can't tell the truth.
How to love he ain't got a clue,
Playing games like he'll never lose you.

Try to talk to him, can't get through,
Every day he's a different dude.
These are the signs of a grown ass boy,
Better run for the hills, I'm just trying to keep it real.

You can't raise a man, he's already grown, what you gonna do?
You wonder why he acts like a boy. If he wasn't raised right before you
Girl, you ain't never gonna change nobody, if he don't wanna, you can't make nobody.
'Cause you can't raise a man, no, no.

Coming home any time at night, expecting you to let it ride
How many tears are you gonna cry? Playing games like he'll never lose you
You know that the love is changed, how many times he called you out your name?
These are the signs of a grown ass boy,
Better run for the hills, I'm just keeping it real.

You can't raise a man, he's already grown, what you gonna do?
You wonder why he acts like a boy. If he wasn't raised right before you
Girl, you ain't never gonna change nobody, if he don't wanna, you can't make nobody.
You can't raise a man, no, no.

Gonna take more than a miracle to change him, just let him go.
Tell me when will you decide to do better with your life.
If his momma couldn't do it what makes you think
You can train a boy to be a man, it's too late.
Better off letting him go, no matter how hard you try you can't raise.

You can't raise a man, he's already grown, what you gonna do?
You wonder why he acts like a boy. If he wasn't raised right before you
Girl, you ain't never gonna change nobody, if he don't wanna, you can't make nobody.
'Cause you can't raise a man, no, no.

V.S.O.P.

Hit the lights
Can't let no one see me get down
It's alright
I know they think I get around
You and I
Got something they can't know about
Really only heaven knows my heart

You know this ain't an ordinary love
We got so much history in the stories about us
So come on over baby

We gon' light some candles tonight
Very special
We gon' do whatever you like
Very special
Got some Henney chillin' on ice
Very special
Hope you make the rest of my life
Very special
Very special
All night

Warm my bed
It's a little cold on your shoulder
Mama said
I would understand when I'm older
In my head
Even if you tell me it's over
I'll pretend you told me I'm your all

Cause you know this ain't an ordinary love
We got so much history in the stories about us
So come on over baby

We gon' light some candles tonight
Very special
We gon' do whatever you like
Very special
Got some Henney chillin' on ice
Very special
Hope you make the rest of my life
Very special
Very special
All night

He supposed to be with you
That what everybody gon' tell me
But I can't really count on what everybody gon' tell me
She ain't seen her baby in a couple days
And I'm looking at my baby right up in his face
Flowers and gifts, restaurants
I swear he buy me anythang I want
That's why I'm so quick to
Put that music on for him, listen to it baby!

We gon' light some candles tonight
Very special
We gon' do whatever you like
Very special
Got some Henney chillin' on ice
Very special
Hope you make the rest of my life
Very special
Very special
Very special
Very special
All night

Sometimes

[Verse 1]
I would run down the street bare feet
If I could write my destiny
I can't except you being over me
But when it comes to you
I'll believe anything
Just like when I believe she was nothing
She was something
You went running
How you gone do me like that
I still want you back
Man I still want you back

[Pre-Hook]
Lord have your mercy
For loving him freely just leave
I should be praying for better things
Instead of praying for a man
Who don't give a f*ck about me

[Hook]
Sometimes they do come back
And sometimes they don't
Sometimes the love will last
But sometimes it won't

[Verse 2]
If I could write the perfect script
It would be on some notebook shit
And I don't like ya' mama
But I hope she fine
I think about her from time to time

[Pre-Hook]
Lord have your mercy
For loving him freely just leave
I should be praying for better things
Instead of praying for a man
Who don't give a f*ck about me

[Hook]
Sometimes they do come back
And sometimes they don't
Sometimes the love will last
But sometimes it won't
[Repeat]

[Bridge]
I never felt so confused
I never felt so used and abused
What the hell did I do to you
Where's the man that stood in the rain for me
So lost everyday

[Pre-Hook]
Lord have your mercy
For loving him freely just leave
I should be praying for better things
Instead of praying for a man
Who don't give a f*ck about me

[Hook]
Sometimes they do come back
And sometimes they don't
They tell you that they love you
Then turn around and leave you there
It isn't right it isn't fair
I can't believe you left me here
Sometimes they do come back
And sometimes they don't
And I miss you so bad
But I know that you gone

Ride Out

You won't understand the tears I cried
All those nights you wasn't around
You crossed the night and now is time
All 'cause you wasn't around

[Chorus:]
So don't be mad I'm not get in
My shit ain't ride out
You gonna be mad when another nigga show up and show out.
You gonna be mad, when you look back you see you missed out
You're gonna try to callin' back but I ain't without
It's too late, yeah eyyy eyy
Oh it's too late, yeaah, eyyy

You never thought of walk away
But things change, you're not around
You're giving the chance, the chance to find
Why you were never around?

[Chorus:]
So don't be mad when I get in
My shit ain't ride out
You gonna be mad when another nigga show up and show out.
You're gonna try to callin' back but I ain't without
It's too late, yeah, eyyy eyy
Oh it's too late, yeaah, eyyy

Ain't nothing 'bout this love gonna work
Thought it could fix it but I'm still worth
You put me through more than I deserve
You had your chance but now it's this turn.

It's too late, yeah eeey eyyy
It's too late yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah
Huh huh huh

[Chorus:]
So don't be mad when I get in
My shit ain't ride out
You can't be mad when another nigga show up and show out.
You're gonna be mad when you look back and see you missed out
Mhm ohh.

Hate On Her

[Verse 1]
There's a smile without a home
There's a heart that can't beat no more
How could she be the one you want
When I'm giving you so much
In this house we made are own
You have torn it down enough
And for the moment I was strong
You let it all go

[Pre-Hook]
Now she's calling your phone
Rolling her eyes at me
Like I'm the one who did wrong
Tryna play my role

[Hook]
But I can't even hate on her
Cause i know you got no heart
I can't even hate on her
Cause I know how low you go
And you made it feel right
When you know you was wrong
So I can't even hate on her

[Verse 2]
See that moment it can't be erased
Memories that can't be replaced
How could you even look me in my face
Years ruined in one day
Oh girl she don't even know
That grown boys don't even grow
She will always give her all

[Pre-Hook]
So when she's calling my phone
Next time I'mma let her know
She can have you I'm gone
Man love can be so cold

[Hook]
But I can't even hate on her
Cause i know you got no heart
I can't even hate on her
Cause I know how low you go
And you made it feel right
When you know you was wrong
So I can't even hate on her

[Bridge]
I've giving my everything
But you took it all from me
I hope she can be all you need
Cause I can't be it

[Hook]
I can't even hate on her
Cause i know you got no heart
I can't even hate on her
Cause I know how low you go
And you made it feel right
When you know you was wrong
So I can't even hate on her
I've giving my everything
But you took it all from me

When I Get A Man

[Verse 1]
It's been awhile
Since I had a love that's all mine
Niggas came to win
And not wasting my time
I'm maintaining screaming out
F*ck it I'll Be Fine
But I can't act like
It don't ever cross my mind
I would give all this shit up
Just to stay home and be your wife
Fold some clothes give you what you like
Boy you just don't know

[Pre-Hook]
You gon' luck up when you get it
Boy you better not miss it
I'm gonna give you all this love

[Hook]
Cause when I find a man
He's gon' love me
I'm gon' cater serve ya
Give you what you deserve
He's gon' love me
Cause when I find a man
He's gon' love me
I'm gon' cater serve ya
Give you what you deserve
He's gon' love me
When I get a man

[Verse 2]
I'm gon' roll it up
Back it up pour it how you like
Baby one hit
Just might change your whole life
Baby I'm down to ride
I'm in the passenger side
This good love we got can't be denied
I wanna give this shit up
Just to come home to you at night
Don't care how I feel
I'll make sure you right
You can have whatever you like

[Pre-Hook]
You gon' luck up when you get it
Boy you better not miss it
I'm gonna give you all this love

[Hook]
Cause when I find a man
He's gon' love me

He's gon' love me
Cause when I find a man

Give you what you deserve
He's gon' love me
When I get a man

[Bridge]
I'mma treat him like a king
He gon' be my everything
He gon' love the hell outta' me
I won't hold back anything
No more heartbreak
I got a new song to sing

[Hook]
Cause when I find a man

He's gon' love me
Man he's gon' love me

A Mother's Prayer

Oohhh, Oohhh, Oohh

[Hook:]
Last night I prayed on a fallen star that you never have a broken heart
Though the world is cold, just remember who you are
And I pray that you never have a rainy day
And no matter what people say
Even when it hurts it'll be OK

[Verse 1:]
Tomorrow brings new promise so don't worry 'bout today
The first time I saw you I knew my life had changed
I would've been dead & gone but I found purpose when I brought you home
And even though I'm not there to tuck you in everyday
I'm not far away
This is what a mother prays...

[Hook:]
Last night I prayed on a fallen star that you never have a broken heart
Though the world is cold, please remember who you are
And I pray that you never have a rainy day
And no matter what the people say
In your darkest hours I'll help guide your way

[Verse 2:]
Those dreams you have I want you to chase 'em (chase 'em)
These bond we got, let nobody break it (break it)
And when I'm on the road & I can't see your face
This music will never take your place
I love you chase (I Love My Chase)

[Hook:]
And that's why Last night I prayed on a fallen star that you never have a broken heart
Though the world is cold, please remember who you are
And I pray that you never have a rainy day
And no matter what the people say
Even when it hurts it'll be OK
And I pray that you never have a rainy day
And no matter what the people say
In your darkest hours I'll help guide your way

This is what a Mother Prays...

Your daddy loves you & I love you too
Sorry we couldn't work it out
We gon' do what's best for you
I pray ohhh I pray
I Love You
This is what a Mother Prays

Better Than Nothing

[Verse 1:]
Have you ever been in love with a man?
Some days it's all good, some days it's all bad
Sometime he come home just a little too late
I straight up act a fool but I know I'm gon stay
Sometime I call his phone but he don't pick up
But then I get a touch, damn I'm back in love
He got me out here like a fool, make that what's wrong with you?

[Chorus:]
I love that were in love, baby
And I know it's wrong but I don't care
Cause a little of something
Is better than nothing
When you need somebody so much
You go through the pain to get to the love
A little of something
Is better than nothing
That's why I stay with it each love
Cus when it feels good it's just enough

And that's better than nothing
That's better than nothing
Do you hear me?

[Verse 2:]
When I'm all alone I think I've been afraid
That he can get it right so we can maybe stay
And that's why I stay, cus I know I wanna breathe
So I keep holding on, I'm sticking to this thing
And it just might be another man out there
Who would treat me better but he won't compare
Even when I'm out he act a fool
Ain't nobody do it like he do

[Chorus:]
I love that were in love, baby
And I know it's wrong but I don't care
Cause a little of something
Is better than nothing
When you need somebody so much
You go through the pain to get to the love
A little of something
Is better than nothing
That's why I stay with it each love
Cus when it feels good it's just enough

[Bridge:]
They say that a woman should love a man more than he loves her
But I can't help it
I better choose best
My heart feels good
I want it, I want it, I wanna be sorry for putting myself through the stress
We can do a mess
But I still love you, boy you're the best

[Chorus:]
Cause a little of something
Is better than nothing
When you need somebody so much
You go through the pain to get to the love
A little of something
Is better than nothing
That's why I stay with it each love
Cus when it feels good it's just enough

That's better than nothing
That's better than nothing

Same Man

[Verse 1:]
Everything's hard to break
You can bet
That it's gonna be mine
And if then our tears still fall
You can bet
There's a man behind them all

[Pre-Chorus:]
'Cause I keep on doing the same damn things
I'm loving the same, expecting different endings
But it's like you never learned until it starts to burn

[Chorus:]
The same face, a different day
Same hurt, I'm ready to break
Can't get to a new place
'Cause I keep loving the same man
I try to stay away
Hope that you don't find me
The past is repeating
But I'm loving the same man

Oh... loving the same man... yea

[Verse 2:]
If things are bad to pack
You can bet
That it's gonna be mine
And just when I'm on my way out
You can bet
That I'm gonna turn around

[Pre-Chorus:]
'Cause I keep on doing the same damn things
I'm loving the same, expecting different endings
But it's like you never learned until it starts to burn

[Chorus:]
The same face, a different day
Same hurt, I'm ready to break
Can't get to a new place
'Cause I keep loving the same man
I try to stay away
Hope that you don't find me
The past is repeating
But I'm loving the same man

[Bridge:]
It's always like when I get there
Although good ones are somewhere else
And I'm always left when it's gone wrong
I know this ain't where I've been wrong
I thought I'd think of so much more
But I keep repeating
'Cause I'm loving the same man

[Chorus:]
The same face, a different day
Same hurt, I'm ready to break
(He was crazy, he was lazy)
Can't get to a new place
(Don't know how to treat a lady)
'Cause I keep dating the same damn fools
I try to stay away
(But I tried everything, God knows I tried yea)
Hope that you don't find me
The past is repeating
I'm loving the same man

I keep loving... loving the same man
