You know I'm living my life like I'm a rap star
I want to make it big I want to make it very far
I'm gonna flow until the day that I die
So I might as well give making money a try

People talking crap to me they ain’t worth Jack to me
I'm writing songs now like I'm a rapping factory
Trying to be clever and put my words together tactfully
I’d like to be the author of a hip hop masterpiece
I don't see any record companies coming after me
I can't help but think to myself that they'll have to be
Because I plan on bringing some good rap back with me
To the light side again no more creating casualties
People hear that I rap and suddenly they want to battle me
Rattle me to the core and then they want to saddle me
But they will never shatter me I'm stronger than their cavalry
Plus who's really got time for all the bullshit and depravity
What you really don't understand about the situation is the gravity
You have to come down at some point hopefully gradually
I'm not gonna sit back and wait for karma to fix reality
I'm gonna do my best to change this game before another tragedy

You know I'm living my life like I'm a rap star
I want to make it big I want to make it very far
I'm gonna flow until the day that I die
So I might as well give making money a try

I'm writing more raps now than ever
Building up my repertoire is a profound endeavor
Plus I can't sit still and wait around for forever
And let's be real it's gonna be now or never
Trying to figure out which nouns are better
And if I use the right verb will the sound be cheddar
That's all I want to make so let's put down the Berettas
Stop spewing hatred and violence in our towns together
We can win by leaps and bounds and have astounding treasures
Maybe this rap can take you back to some nostalgic era
Sitting back listening to tracks just lounging yes sir
Hanging with your boys and girls downtown was pissah
Nowadays none of my friends are hanging out I miss em
Reminiscing of the times we would freestyle and christen
A new beat with words we were wild no wisdom
I would have never guessed I'd be bumping this loud up in your system

You know I'm living my life like I'm a rap star
I want to make it big I want to make it very far
I'm gonna flow until the day that I die
So I might as well give making money a try
