Tha K-MAN - Story of a Lifetime Lyrics

Yeah
The K-MAN's comin' at ya
He's comin' at ya hard
Ya ready?
Let's do this
Aawwwwhaaw
Eighteen years old and strung out on drugs
Pill poppin', weed smokin', passed out at clubs
Shit was sad to see her act that way
But what can you do, but pray for a better day
Her momma always cryin', her pops kicked her out
Her head full of clouds, and no room to shout
Could be a model, be anything she wanted to be
Took nearly ending life for her to see
That what she really wanted and what she really need
Now, she's a certified EMT
Savin' lives on a daily basis
You smirk, but you are tasteless
You say what a loser, but many are proud of her
For she chose the high ground, while you stuck on the lower
Now, if that ain't a story of a lifetime, then
Fade it on down, she's livin' natural high man
Been to the heart of New York City
To the West Coast of LA, baby
Been runnin' these streets each and every way
Runnin' from the law, runnin' to save me
Tryna stand tall, tryna stand true
Hidin' under cover, hidin' clues
From a life that forsakes
Ain't it crazy, that life that wants
That wants to break me
It's not hard to see what I've been through
This ain't nothin' that's been brand new
Takin' it to the streets and its crew
I'm just tryin' to start, start anew
Looked in the mirror and seen the man ya can't see
Filled full of anger, a fist in the wall ya see
It once was me, said "F*ck it"
Now, it's a distant memory (memory)
I remember temper, shit was short
That's all she wrote
But it ain't no more
Released a new chapter on my life
Got a new drive, a new lease on life
Pushed so many away, tryin' to pick a fight
Until I seen that shinin', bright light
Too many've died on the streets
Livin' like that, livin' with hate
It's why I had to leave from the old
Before my soul became the devil's gold
Coulda been like the mafia, coulda got wacked
That's why I had to put it down, just like that
Been to the heart of New York City
To the West Coast of LA, baby
Been runnin' these streets each and every way
Runnin' from the law, runnin' to save me
Tryna stand tall, tryna stand true
Hidin' under cover, hidin' clues
From a life that forsakes
Ain't it crazy, that life that wants
That wants to break me
It's not hard to see what I've been through
This ain't nothin' that's been brand new
Takin' it to the streets and its crew
I'm just tryin' to start, start anew
Ya want your own story of a lifetime, then
Break it on down, stop followin' that white line, then
She's got her story, and I've got mine
You think we ain't struggled? We wastin' your time?
The dream ain't livin', if ya ain't got a story to tell
Shit ain't worth nothin', drop that dime down the well
Life's about struggle, and fallin' to ya knees
But gettin' back up and goin' again, ya see
It's more than just the ink to a page
It's about the emotions that we all cage
Experiences we take, including the worst mistakes
Like turnin' backs to our family and friends (HEY!)
I've seen both sides of the road head
Seen the sights of life and death
And I know I'm not perfect, I won't leave it out
And my time will come, ain't no doubt
But I ain't done yet
Been to the heart of New York City
To the West Coast of LA, baby
Been runnin' these streets each and every way
Runnin' from the law, runnin' to save me
Tryna stand tall, tryna stand true
Hidin' under cover, hidin' clues
From a life that forsakes
Ain't it crazy, that life that wants
That wants to break me
It's not hard to see what I've been through
This ain't nothin' that's been brand new
Takin' it to the streets and its crew
I'm just tryin' to start, start anew
