About This Track

August Alsina teams with Pusha T on this emotionally dark track from his debut album. The song is built on a simple, devastating premise: both artists adopt the voice of someone overwhelmed by circumstance, loss, and the weight of survival. Alsina's hook circles the title like a mantra, the refrain becoming heavier each time it returns. Pusha T opens with a catalogue of collapse: lost love, lost money, lost mind, the arrival of federal agents. Alsina responds with his own reckoning, moving from personal despair to the structural violence of his neighbourhood, where survival itself feels uncertain. The song doesn't resolve or comfort; it simply names the feeling, lets it sit, and moves on.

"FML" is a track by August Alsina, from the album Testimony, released 15th April 2014. Full lyrics are available below.

Lyrics

FML

[Intro: August Alsina & Pusha T]

All you gotta do is get it one time, one time

For all my niggas (For my niggas)

(For my niggas too) Ohh

Drumma Boy, Drumma Boy

[Verse 1: Pusha T]

Wake up feelin' like fuck my life

Life's a bitch, she better fuck me right

Lost my love in this losin' game

When the Feds came, it's like I lost my wife

Nigga losin' weight, as I'm losin' time

See I took a loss, see I lost a mil', then I lost my mind

Over-conversated with them hoes

Overcompensated with them hoes

Overdid it like it's overtime

Told her run the tab 'til she overdose

Alpina, Alsina, King Push like King Tut

Made niggas to you middle men

You get middle fingers, we don't give a fuck

Ow!

[Verse 2: August Alsina]

Let me tell you 'bout myself, I'm not scared to die

Been through so much shit, sometimes I wanna be in the sky

Wanna know how it feels to fly, wanna know how it feels to fly

I'm scared of hello, I ain't scared of goodbye

[Pre-Hook: August Alsina]

I never thought that I would be here

I never thought I'd get this far

If they say life is like a beach chair

Then why am I sitting in the dark?

[Hook: August Alsina]

Growing up (Sometimes I just feel like, fuck my life)

Growing up (Fuck my life, fuck my life)

Even when I'm up I'm feeling down, ohh

Fuck my life, fuck my life

Half my niggas locked up or underground, ohh

Fuck my life, fuck my life

Sometimes I just feel like, fuck my life

Fuck my life, fuck my life

[Verse 3: August Alsina]

See I grew up in the jungle, where everybody broke

A lot of niggas never make it, all they know is selling dope

Life ain't easy in the Easy, murder capital

Might not make it here tomorrow, like I'm running outta hope, no

[Pre-Hook: August Alsina]

I never thought that I would be here

I never thought I'd get this far

If they say life is like a beach chair

Then why am I sitting in the dark?

[Hook: August Alsina]

Growing up (Sometimes I just feel like, fuck my life)

Growing up (Fuck my life, fuck my life)

Even when I'm up I'm feeling down, ohh

Fuck my life, fuck my life

Half my niggas locked up or underground, ohh

Fuck my life, fuck my life

Sometimes I just feel like, fuck my life

Fuck my life, fuck my life

Even when I'm up I'm feeling down, ohh

Fuck my life, fuck my life

Half my niggas locked up or underground, ohh

Fuck my life, fuck my life

Sometimes I just feel like, fuck my life

Fuck my life, fuck my life
