Get My Life Right

[Intro]

(I'm faded than a motherfucker)

[Verse 1: E-40]

Uh, I had three outfits

Didn't take out the trash, get beat with a switch

Growin' up in the octagon wasn't easy

The low man on the totem pole, kids used to tease me

Used to fight dang near every day, I ain't lyin'

Be beatin' a nigga ass and talkin' to him while I'm cryin'

Uh, and that was out of anger

Back then, we used to throw them things, we didn't have bangers

A little later down the line, it became a time where I had to draw the linе

Uh, I used to kiss my street side

When my mama was at work, I usеd to sneak and drink her wine

When my parents got divorced, I had to get out there and grind

You probably heard me bring this subject up a few times

Uh, my relative short, shot him a kite

He said when he get out, he gon' get his life right

[Chorus: YoungBoy Never Broke Again]

I been tryna get my life right

I been tryna get my life right

I been tryna get my life right

I been tryna get my life right

I was caught up in the nightlife (Ooh)

Now I'm tryna get my life right

On the block, I was outside (Oh)

Now I'm tryna get my life right (Oh)

[Verse 2: YoungBoy Never Broke Again]

If you ain't notice, I been spendin' time tryna turn it over

Inside the streets, due to that iron, I done lost so many soldiers

From hard drugs, now I'm finally sober

So blessed and I'm a slime, I'm beggin' God for to bring me closer

I can never live this over

Wishin' I could take the pain from off of your mama face

And my money could never buy the cure to heal her heartbreak

Only think that I can say

Can you join me on this journey? I been workin' for to see some better days

My heart gettin' colder, but it ain't over, I know I'm gettin' older and I'm cryin' for a change

Tell youngin, "Put that iron down, I'll buy you a new chain"

Go to school and show some progress, I'll buy you a new Range

I ain't the one for to look up to, but I can show you a few things

Like, these people just wan' see you lose, you who entertain

I ain't the only one that's broken, take a look inside the game

Tell my grandma that I'm focused, I became a made man

[Chorus]

I been tryna get my life right

I been tryna get my life right

I been tryna get my life right

I been tryna get my life right

I was caught up in the nightlife

Now I'm tryna get my life right

On the block, I was outside

Now I'm tryna get my life right

[Verse 3: E-40]

Any time I think devilsih, I holler at God

He answers me back 'cause that's my side hob

Doin' hella extra shit'll get you killed

It's all fun and games 'til shit get real

You can call me a square 'cause I'm wiser and older

One thing about a square, it's hard to roll a square over

Uh, I learned that when I was a teen

What people fail to realize is all the game come from fiends

They got hella knowledge like a scholar

On the streets, they doin' bad, but in the pen', they some shot callers

That's why you don't judge a book by its cover

Build with each other, stop tryna kill one another

[Verse 4: YoungBoy Never Broke Again]

My tank on E from off of forty, I been known to get it started

Whole life sad, on drugs bad, I ain't want them to record it

Fell a victim to some situations, left me real heartless

I'm promotin' peace, this for me, I ain't worried about no charges

Gotta carry out my plan, I ain't leavin' how I came

All this money, I'd be a fool if I remained the same

Me and prisoners inside a private plane

Headed to another jail, you don't wanna feel my pain

And I just wanna live real slowly, let 'em talk down on me, so many kids I gotta feed

Not to a judge, I hit my knees every time and plead

Like, God, can you please save me? Help me stay up out the streets, lil' Top

[Chorus]

I been tryna get my life right

I been tryna get my life right

I been tryna get my life right

I been tryna get my life right

I was caught up in the nightlife

Now I'm tryna get my life right

On the block, I was outside

Now I'm tryna get my life right
