MY LIFE

Written by Mario ‘Mr Devious’ van Rooy

To many smoke screens, to many coke fiends
To many kids in gang clicks with no dreams
What does hope means?
How do you cope in damn situation?
Knowing that you won’t win
Too much gun shots,
Too much fucking blocks,
Too much drugs and guns too much fucking cops
How can I not swear, how can I not cuss
I don’t expect you to know this
You’re not us
Another drive-by
Another homicide
Another newspaper sold, another laity die
No it’s not fair
I guess the plan of the block is to keep us locked here
Watch us got dropped and shot on the spot here
Our options are not clear
Jobless get mocked here
Robbers get robbed here
This is the flats but we not suppose to rock here
Born on Cape Flats
But I’m not gonna rot here

Chorus
This is my life this is my song
This is my pain
Told you I’m not gone
And you can talk on
Till you get walked on
Drag through the thorns of my path
Fuck you I’m not gone (x2)

They call my lyrics ill
I call it miserable
A lot of people
Be like how can he be spitting still
I’m still ripping it
I’m still spitting at
That bullshit on TV
I’m still dissing it
It’s on you all now
That means its war now
My life is all about Britney and Lezhaune now
I don’t have time to get drug acting all calm now
Every single song that I write
Is like a psalm now
Who you wanna rap against
Who you wanna step against
Who you wanna cock that gun and clap against
My benevolence is acknowledging ghetto sense
I leave the kids in the streets astonished with evidence

Chorus
This is my life and this is my song
And this is my pain
Told you I’m not gone
And you can talk on
Till you get walked on
Drag through the thorns of my path
Fuck you I’m not gone (x2)
