[Intro: K. Michelle]
My life, my life
This is my life, uh
[Verse 1: K. Michelle]
What you know 'bout the grind in the street?
He movin' work out of town every week
I know about it, I know about it
What y'all know 'bout them girls on the pole?
She make her money every night, takin' off her clothes
I know about it, yep, I know about it, oh-oh
[Pre-Chorus: K. Michelle]
'Cause all my life, I've been strugglin' and stressin'
That's why I come up in this bitch with aggression
Where I'm from niggas die everyday
Bet you ain't never seen a nigga die in ya face
[Chorus: K. Michelle]
The life, the life
The sacrifice, the grind, the grind
You get sometimes, I know about it
Don't judge if you know nothin' 'bout it
We try and try to live right
But we get blinded by the light
Oh-oh, I know about it
Don't judge if you know nothin' 'bout it, oh
[Verse 2: K. Michelle]
These niggas turning hoes into wives
Went in raw, now you stuck with her for life
I know about it, bet y'all know something about it
Three years, he been doing the same thing
You can hang it up, you'll never get a ring
'Cause I know about it, bet I know some thing about it, oh
[Pre-Chorus: K. Michelle]
'Cause all my life I've been strugglin' and stressin'
That's why I come up in this bitch with aggression
Where I'm from, it ain't flowers and candy
I'm just happy the life didn't get me
[Chorus: K. Michelle]
The life, the life
The sacrifice, the grind, the grind
You get sometimes, I know about it
Don't judge if you know nothin' 'bout it
We try and try to live right
But we get blinded by the light
Oh-oh, I know about it
Don't judge if you know nothin' 'bout it, oh
[Verse 2: K. Michelle]
These niggas turning hoes into wives
Went in raw, now you stuck with her for life
I know about it, bet y'all know something about it
Three years, he been doing the same thing
You can hang it up, you'll never get a ring
'Cause I know about it, bet I know some thing about it, oh
[Pre-Chorus: K. Michelle]
'Cause all my life I've been strugglin' and stressin'
That's why I come up in this bitch with aggression
Where I'm from, it ain't flowers and candy
I'm just happy the life didn't get me
[Chorus: K. Michelle]
The life, the life
The sacrifice, the grind, the grind
You get sometimes, I know about it
Don't judge if you know nothin' 'bout it
You try and try to live right
But we get blinded by the life, I know about it
Don't judge if you know nothin' 'bout it, oh
[Verse 3: Meek Mill]
I said, the life, the life
The streets are a bitch and I made her my wife
I made her my wife
I couldn't afford, but I made her my price
'Cause under the lights, the money, the cars
Even the ice, I wanted it all
So we was up nights from selling it raw
And ducking them D from a hell of charges
I wanted to shine amongst with the stars
I wanted to grind, they calling me? Nah
I felt like these niggas was telling me starve
My mama, she told me, I'm headed for bars (Bars)
And where did it take me
To a cell and a yard
Running bar with the killers
Talking fellas and all
[Chorus: K. Michelle]
The life, the life
The sacrifice, the grind, the grind
You get sometimes, I know about it
Don't judge if you know nothin' 'bout it
You try and try to live right
But we get blinded by the life, I know about it
Don't judge if you know nothin' 'bout it, oh
