Rap Song 14 My life
MC Matt Davies
This is the song about my life,
And my strife,
Tryin’ to make it as a rapper,
And a pro footballer,
From rags to riches in a couple of decades,
This is about my crusade,
And I’m certainly not afraid,
To tell you the truth,
All the gritty details,
It’s not a short tale,
My life was going smoothly,
Then it derailed,
I found myself in a looney hospital,
A nuthouse,
But I wasn’t gonna take it;
As quiet as a mouse,
It wasn’t quite the beach house,
I envisioned as a kid,
I went through cognitive therapy,
But our views differed,
And we often agreed to disagree,
I enlightened he,
He said psychosis,
Schizophrenia was the prognosis,
One thing we didn’t try was hypnosis,
This isn’t a diss track,
And there’s one thing I don’t lack,
And that’s humility,
I’m humble to the nth degree,
Chorus:
This is my life,
This is my strife,
All I want to be,
Is totally free,
I’m sure you’ll agree,
That, that’s the best way to be,
C’mon, C’mon,
The don is here,
Lay out the red carpet,
Getting my swagger back is the target,
What do I have to do to get a record label on board?
These times are hard,
All I can do is play my last card,
It’s the ace of spades,
I need to do this,
Before I concave,
I’m like batman, stuck in his cave,
Reciting rhymes daily,
Just maybe,
I’ll get my break,
Went to an open mic audition,
I was wearing the latest fashion,
Fire trap shoes,
And a hugo boss shirt,
But I was down and I was hurt,
I didn’t make it through the first round,
My boxing pad took a pound,
But life’s a box of roses,
Sometimes you take two steps back,
To take one step forward,
Matt’s back,
Bring back the concord!
Chorus:
This is my life,
This is my strife,
All I want to be,
Is totally free,
I’m sure you’ll agree,
That, that’s the best way to be,
C’mon, C’mon,
The don is here,
Lay out the red carpet,
Getting my swagger back is the target,
I’ll take you back in time,
Jump on the Delorean,
From back to the future,
I grew up in South-end,
And I was on the mend,
After an incident at nursery school,
I broke the number one rule,
And thought it would be cool,
To act the fool,
I must have been about four or five years of age,
I turned a girl of a similar age,
Into a page three babe,
She was screaming and hollering,
But the past is the past,
So let’s move on,
I could have been like Akon,
Cos I’m locked up, they won’t let me out,
Then we moved to Bristol,
And I started at a new school,
I went to Redcliffe,
All I did was play footie,
I was scoring beauty after beauty,
The highlight of that school,
Was prom night,
I hooked up with a girl,
And travelled in a limousine,
And I was still a teen,
Now I’m 28,
And my life has been a real state,
Up until now.
chorus:
This is my life,
This is my strife,
All I want to be,
Is totally free,
I’m sure you’ll agree,
That, that’s the best way to be,
