[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 n***a
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
