Whoa whoa whoa
Whoa whoa whoa
Whoa whoa whoa
Whoa whoa whoa whoa (oww)
Whoa whoa whoa
Whoa whoa whoa
Whoa whoa whoa whoa
Whoa whoa whoa
Whoa whoa whoa
Whoa whoa whoa whoa
And I believe it don't affect nobody else but me
They been telling me what to do
Since I was old enough to walk
Old enough to talk
Never let me speak or move
Do my own thang
But now I'm growin' wiser now
Brighter now
A little bit tighter now
And ya'll can't hold me down
I know you hate to hear it
But things have changed in
Chorus:
My life
It's been awhile but
Me and my style stuck
Now everybody and they momma try to do it
My life
I've done that, been through that
So there ain't nothin' that you can tell me
My life
On a good night, if I feel like
Me and the girls hit the club and tear it up
It's my life
It's my life
And I believe it don't effect
Nobody else but me me me me
I'm gettin' sick and tired of folks
Who wanna come around
Claim they gon' get down
But all they wanna do is see me make a wrong move (yeah)
I don't care what you hear in the news
And see who I choose to do the late night creep with
I'm gonna do just what I wanna do
It's my life
Chorus
Whoa whoa whoa
Whoa whoa whoa
Whoa whoa whoa
Whoa whoa whoa whoa
Whoa whoa whoa
Whoa whoa whoa
Whoa whoa whoa whoa
Whoa whoa whoa
Whoa whoa whoa
Whoa whoa whoa whoa
And I believe it don't affect nobody else but me
Sometimes I might get a little crazy
And sometimes I might seem out of hand
But I'm sane
Life's too short for me to let you dictate
What I say and the moves I make
I'm sick of people tryna tell me what to do
It's my life and I'ma live it like I want to
Check it
Another day another dolla
Is the reality of my mentality
Otherwise don't even botha
You see my father was a wise old man
Always creatin' a plan
For me to conquer this land
He said I am what I am
So be the best that I can
And if them others don't like it
Then why should I give a damn (ha)
Maybe so cause when his life wasn't right
My mother picked up them pieces
Continued on with the fight
So now it's plain to me
It ain't no game to me
See mom and dad corrected math
1 and 1 equal 3
4 and 5 I count my sister and brother
Stayin' live till we die
And don't you ever be worried
Cuz I'm down for the ride
Through peaks and valleys to Crescent Hills
Tumble down I'll set a new round for Jack and Jill
Ever wonder what put the thunder deeply in my eyes
Take a look and you'll find the sunshine
My life my life my life
Chorus
