[Verse 1:] Three years ago, I was a freshman Coming in the hostel of the game like a veteran You had to dot my eyes good with letters in Girls had my name on the left of their lettermans And, yeah I had a little fee What she did'nt know was that I had about three I wanna come to them, nigga they come to me Hodgy Beats was steppin on those wannabes Niggas would copy, girls would jock me They though I was cocky, lil' nigga not even a jocky Skinny niggas ride, fuck being stocky The haters I was chalking, but they wouldn't stop me But fooling when I wanted to, foolin when I wanted to Doing what I wanted to, they drooling when I'm coming through When the game fronting that's not gon' stop from doing what I wanna do I do what I wanna do
[Hook:] This is my life, I'm gonna live it right, gonna live it right This is my past, let you see through it just like glass, just like glass This is my life, I'm gonna live it right, gonna live it right This is my past, let you see through it just like glass, this is my life
[Verse 2:] This here Hodgy Q, and he's a rapper The crap on your lap leave your spot with laughter Break niggas down on the fact And when they wanted to act, he backed it up But could'nt keep his tracks up Remember that day, on that bus? when he cussed him out? When they thought he roughed it out? Kids were watching like they were scouts He's special in my eyes, but niggas had a doubt His girl told him that until she found out He had another chick, house and a couch with swagger on the mouth She went down south He had a lil' ring aound his finger, a girlfriend and a spouse So he was'nt commited to a youngful commitment She was'nt with it So she told him to get it Gone, he ain't wrong She got left right, where she big mon And that's a true story
[Hook:] This is my life, I'm gonna live it right, gonna live it right This is my past, let you see through it just like glass, just like glass This is my life, I'm gonna live it right, gonna live it right This is my past, let you see through it just like glass, this is my life
