My Life Lyrics - Revolutions Per Minute - Talib Kweli

Yeah 

Yes indeed, got 'em up to speed 

We got what they need, yeah 

Reflection Eternal 

My life, my life, my life, my life 

This is my life, my life, my life, my life 

My life, my life, my life, my life 

This is my life, my life, my life, my life 

Yo, what's the daily word? 

You ever feel like giving everything up 

And buying a boat so you can sail the world? 

Aiyyo, what's really hood? 

He got a gift with the lyrics 

The beat is lifting your spirit when you ain't feeling good 

Sometimes he feel like the whole world is turning on him 

The people miserable and try to place they burdens on him 

He revealing the truth like he a portal 

A vampire sucked his blood, now he immortal 

First he ignored then he worked the applause 

He thirsty for more cause they loving how he perfectly flawed 

Most of these rappers softer than the allure of Juicy Couture 

And from the start he put his heart in every he record 

Caused to perform for the corporation, he made a profit with Satan 

Then got with the Beat Konducta for his Liberation 

And for free at last till everybody started selling it 

But him, he's like I need to see a piece of that 

And get right with God, he knows his gift is a phenomenon 

He catch it when it strike like a lightning rod 

His rhymes are the spitting image he created us in 

We getting paid in wages of sin 

True, it's like death in a room 

Every lie we ingest and consume 

Is guaranteed to make us vegetables soon 

Sometimes it's so hard, can't go on 

Where did he lose his focus, where did he go wrong? 

He should love his life, he got a loving wife at home 

But still find himself roaming through the club at night 

Kiss his children and they hug him tight 

Gotta prove his love in family court tomorrow 

'Cause he and they mother fight 

These other artists really don't know what to make of him 

So they afraid if him, they ain't breaking him 

It's been over ten years since he gave you the blast 

The ones that counted him out, they didn't do the math 

The fans tell him he under-appreciated 

Underrated and hated but he thankful they debated 

Thankful that he made it to glory while some faded 

Thankful that he keep it surreal while some fake it 

Thankful for the skills that's keeping the family stable 

Thankful for the meals he put on the family table 

He pay the bills when he able and spend for pleasure when he can 

This the true measure of a man 

Some things he'll never understand, that's okay though 

He know we're molded in the image of God like Play Doh 

But still he wax philosophical like Aristotle 

Maybe one day they'll come up with a better model 

But till then, he the best there is 

More than ten-thousand hours in 

So that make him the specialist 

Oh yeah, it's way more than relevance 

It's classic, original, you remember this
