Behold My Life Remix by Defari Lyrics
[Intro]
("My life, my life, my life, my life")
[Verse 1: Defari]
Behold my life, the life that I live is just one
The pain and the struggle of Duane Johnson
My sign is Aquarius; rhymes, I got various
I'm a product of a pops who had felonious marriages
My girl, she's a G, 'cause she carried, my baby girl Vickie
Please believe I married her, filled her pockets with fifties and hundreds
I look back, say, "I done it, I did it"
Man, I've traveled the seven seas and stayed Likwit
Shit, the bank did it, Cannabis Cup stank scented doja, make squares lose
Behold my life, the life that I live's for more than me
The days of my daughter's right in front of me
I break bread with the whiskey, won't drink with the tricky
Cash foreign money and blow tree that's sticky
Ayo Rak', roll another bliggy
("My life, my life, my life, my life")
[Verse 2: Defari]
Behold my life, a DJ turned MC
T La Rock "It's Yours" blew my M-I-N-D
Made me wanna be the D to the E
Crowned 310 King, of Los Angeles city
Behold my life, mutual funds, Hawaiian flights
The funds come in hundreds and ones, Italian type
And take the day however it come, the sun still shine
My grandmama said "Uplift your mind"
Take a page from history and turn it into facts
Bush is back, now we at war with Iraq
The time's already short like in the '80s
And they don't ever care about the inner city babies
So this the days of my life in L.A
I look at the sunset, light a J and say "behold my life"
("My life, my life, my life, my life")
[Bridge: Defari]
I only got one life to live
("My life, my life, my life, my life")
("My life, my life, my life, my life")
[Verse 3: Rakaa Iriscience]
Yo, behold my life, I shake up and roll these dice
The world knows I work angles so precise
I got on to build but I settle the score
I'm a warrior, what you think the medals are for?
Ev' and Herut sippin' dark brew
While my scriptures are developed like pictures in dark rooms
Babs, fuck a needle, pick up a harpoon
Dip it in tattoo like Mr. Cartoon
Permanent, cats are not learnin' shit
They still standin' on the bridge while they burn the shit
It's no win, candles stay lit at both ends
Strangers can be less dangerous than close friends
You'd throw your back out tryna hold my mic
It's a dark world, baby, you gon' know my light
Behold my life
("My life, my life, my life, my life")
[Verse 4: Evidence]
Behold my life, before I had a mic device
15, no I.D., up in clubs every night
Unity was the spot, I studied shows
Bigga B is missed every day, how much you did, L.A. knows
Shit could get to me, probably, if I let it
Cats who paved the way didn't get their credit
Deserved, luck of the draw, could leave some grievin'
Sometimes lands on odds, sometimes lands on evens
(Let 'em know) Understand the deal
These politics took over rap, for real
But we still we out for top bill' and coppin' a mill'
If I fall short, got friends and options to chill
Dilated blaze the mic device
And I'm blessed my whole crew spit as cold as ice
Behold my life
[Outro]
("My life, my life, my life, my life")
("My life, my life, my life, my life")
("My life, my life, my life, my life")
("My life, my life, my life, my life")
