[Intro: The Game]

Punk ass motherfucker

Bitch ass nigga

Chu was gon' do? kill me in my sleep, you bitch ass nigga?!

2Pac, Biggie, shut the fuck up!

Fuckin' dogs, barkin' and shit

(Don't shoot, don't shoot)

Fuck you, nigga

[Chorus: Lil Wayne]

And I'm grindin' 'til I'm tired 'cause they said

"You ain't grindin' until you tired"

So I'm grindin' with my eyes wide

Lookin' to find, a way through the day, a light for the night

Dear Lord, you don' took so many of my people

I'm just wonderin' why you haven't taken my life

Like what the hell am I doin' right?

My life

[Verse 1: The Game & Lil Wayne]

Take me away from the hood, like a state penitentiary

Take me away from the hood, in a casket or a Bentley

Take me away

Like I overdosed on cocaine

Or take me away like a bullet from Kurt Cobain

Suicide, I'm from a windy city like Do or Die

From a block close to where Biggie was crucified

That was Brooklyn's Jesus, shot for no fuckin' reason

And you wonder why Kanye wears Jesus pieces? (My life)

‘Cause that's Jesus' people

And Game, he's the equal

Hated on so much, Passion of Christ need a sequel, yeah

Like Roc-A-Fella needed Sigel, like I needed my father

But he needed a needle (My life)

I need some meditation so I can lead my people

They askin', "Why

Why did John Lennon leave The Beatles?"

And why every hood nigga feed off evil?

Answer my question 'fore this bullet leave this Desert Eagle

[Chorus: Lil Wayne]

And I'm grindin' 'til I'm tired 'cause they said

"You ain't grindin' until you tired"

So I'm grindin' with my eyes wide

Lookin' to find, a way through the day, a light for the night

Dear Lord, you don' took so many of my people

I'm just wonderin' why you haven't taken my life

Like what the hell am I doin' right?

My life

[Verse 2: The Game & Lil Wayne]

We are not the same, I am a Martian

So approach my Phantom doors with caution

You see them 24s spinnin'? I earned 'em

And I ain't no preacher, but here's my Erick Sermon

So eat this black music and tell me how it taste now

And fuck Jesse Jackson, ‘cause it ain't about race now

Sometimes I think about my life, with my face down

Then I see my sons and put on that Kanye smile (My life)

Damn, I know his mama proud, and since you helped me sell my dream

We can share my mama now

And like M.J.B., no more drama now

Livin' the good life, me and Common on common ground

I spit crack and niggas could drive it out of town

Got a Chris Paul mind state, I'm never out of bounds

My life used to be empty, like a Glock without a round

Now my life full like a chopper with a thousand rounds

[Chorus: Lil Wayne]

And I'm grindin' 'til I'm tired ‘cause they said

"You ain't grindin' until you tired"

So I'm grindin' with my eyes wide

Lookin' to find, a way through the day, a light for the night

Dear Lord, you don' took so many of my people

I'm just wonderin' why you haven't taken my life

Like what the hell am I doin' right?

My life

[Verse 3: The Game & Lil Wayne]

Walk through the gates of hell, see my Impala parked in front

With the high beams on, me and the devil sharin' chronic blunts

Listenin' to the Chronic album

Playin' backwards, shootin' at pictures of Don Imus for target practice

My mind fucked up, so I cover it with a Raider hood

I'm from the city that made you motherfuckers afraid of Suge (Compton, Compton)

Made my grandmother pray for good, it never made her happy

But I bet that new Mercedes could (My life)

Ain't no bars, but niggas can't escape the hood

And it took so many of my niggas that I should hate the hood

But it's real niggas like me that make the hood

Ridin' slow in that Phantom just the way I should (My life)

With the top back

In my Sox hat

I'm paid in full, the nigga Alpo couldn't stop that

Even if they brought the nigga Pac back

I still keep this motherfucker cocked back

[Chorus: Lil Wayne]

And I'm grindin' 'til I'm tired ‘cause they said

"You ain't grindin' until you tired"

So I'm grindin' with my eyes wide

Lookin' to find, a way through the day, a light for the night

Dear Lord, you don' took so many of my people

I'm just wonderin' why you haven't taken my life

Like what the hell am I doin' right?

My life

My life

My life

My life
