[Verse 1]

I'm swimming

Through a sea of emotions

And I want to thank everybody that's keeping me focused

And the ones that believed in me when things wasn't rolling

I could never pay you back

And you said I was chosen

My heart was hurting and my spirit was broken

But I stayed positive and I kept it going

I had to learn to live with regrets like Jay-Z

I had to learn to live with myself like Lil B

Smile through the pain, sun of the rain

Smoke a lot of weed just to numb my pain

I can't forget when I used to feel hopeless

In and out of probation, school I wasn't going

God gave me another chancе at life

I'm not afraid to say I'm saved by the mic (Damn)

(Yеs)

Real talk man rap saved my life

[Bridge]

Without the music

You already know

Talk about it

Talk about it

[Verse 2]

My life was an uphill battle

Court cases, Remy red and snapple

Stealing cars no license and I was living like Rambo

I seen myself, I had to change the channel

I seen myself up in the paper

Disrespecting my neighbors

My homie house got raided, it was all 'cause my nature

I was living so reckless, straight disrespecting

Stealing from my family, just to buy a necklace

Then I got real chains, I got locked up

Some people still living, man they get popped up

Life throw back what you give it

I'm happy I'm living

Listen to me shit I'm on a mission

Shoutout to Vallejo, tired of smog

When I had no money I would sleep in the car, damn

It's real life, I don't know if I'm wrong or right

[Outro]

Red Flame After the Fire nigga

Shout out to the Based God on the beat

Live right now, Berkeley California

Broadcasting worldwide

Around the Earth

Whole Bay area, everybody

Keep turning out
