lyrics

This is the life I chose, yeah
And this the life I'm living
No matter how it goes
I gotta deal with the cards I'm given
That's why I don't mess around
Don't mess around
'Cause you know I'll lay you down
I'll lay you down
This is the life I chose, chose, chose, chose

Up all night, thinking 'bout the stuff that I wrote
A member of this hip hop scene is the life that I chose
I know I'm only fifteen; what facts of life can I quote?
I'm good with my schoolwork, although I'm taking half notes
I'm not from any slums, but I'm not just any rich kid
Being born in the business, you don't count as a witness
Of somebody on a comeup, 'cause you only can get lower
What's money to a sellout when they're truly mediocre?
Running through the four and four although I'm writing solo
I'm in love with this music, like others are with the cocoa
Milwaukee city all my life, I'm all about that loco
I caught you with your flash on, I know you're taking photos
There's a time and place for everything but what's right is here
I'm finally doing what I want to with nothing to interfere
I carry around my CDs, my milestone souvenir
'Cause this life I chose; to me, it's so clear

This is the life I chose, yeah
And this the life I'm living
No matter how it goes
I gotta deal with the cards I'm given
That's why I don't mess around, don't mess around
Don't mess around
'Cause you know I'll lay you down, I'll lay you down
I'll lay you down
This is the life I chose

That's why I don't mess around, don't mess around
Don't mess around
'Cause you know I'll lay you down, I'll lay you down
I'll lay you down
This is the life I chose
