Behold My Life

[Verse 1: Defari] Behold my life, the life that I live is just one My reflection is God, my shine is the Sun My sign is Aquarius, rap styles I got various I'm a product of a pops who had bullshit marriages My girl, she's a G, 'cause she carried her My baby girl Vicky, please believe I'ma marry her Fill her pockets with fifties and hundreds I'll look back, say I done it, I did it Man, I've traveled the seven seas and stayed spank fitted Shit, the bank did it, my dank stay stank-scented (Doja, make squares lose composure) Behold my life, the life that I live is just mine The days of our lives change in space and time I break bread with the Hennessy, won't drink with the enemy Cash foreign money at LAX from Italy (Hey yo bartender, let me get another Hennessy...) Behold my life, a DJ since '83 "Eric B is President" made me wanna MC Made me wanna be the D to the E Crowned 310 King, of Los Angeles City Behold my life, registered guns and Rambo knives The funds come in hundreds and ones, I hold on tight And take the weather however it comes, the sun still shine The Black man said, "Uplift your mind" Take a page from history and turn it into facts Bush is back, watch out for the new crack The streets already hot like in the '80s And they don't give a fuck how we choose to raise our babies So this the days of my life in L.A.  I look at the sunset, light a blunt, and say [Refrain: Defari] Behold my life... "The greatest story ever told in rhyme" The life that I live is just one ("My life, my life, my life, my life!") [Verse 2: Rakaa Iriscience] Behold my life, I kneel down and roll my dice I told cats I work angles so precise I got on to build, I don't meddle in wars But I'm all out, for sure, if they threaten my shores Bet, family and crew toastin' dark brew Took time to develop my pictures in darkrooms Babs, drop the needle, pick up a harpoon Dip it and tattoo 'em like Mister Cartoon Globe Trotter, international spot-rocker In Europe, they bring hash soon as they spot Rakaa Iriscience, a champion hotboxer Crescent Heights 'D', #1 shot-blocker They get scared when I blow my mic Now prepare for a cat that'll fight for rights Behold my life "My life, my life, my life, my life!" [Verse 3: Evidence] Behold my life, A Pale Horse and mic device Up the price, the time is right for shows at night Peace to The Roots that chop "Clones" Dilated – live in Vegas, Defari and Tom Jones Slap bones, lay tones to reels Stay blown and in a zone with our own appeal Turn that shit up, in cars or headphones to fill Drop back, we go long and throw the pill Fuck the overkill, but understand the deal Politics took over rap, for real But still we out for top bill, and coppin' a mill' If I fall short, got friends and options to chill Dilated blaze the mic device And I'm blessed, my whole crew spit as cold as ice Behold my life "My life, my life, my life, my life!"
