Real Life by Malcolm King (.mlclm) Lyrics
[hook]
I love pain cause it reminds me that this is real life
Thought it was just music but Abel taught me real life
I just hope I make it past 25
Cause the way I'm living life ain't right
[verse 1]
I know I said I wanna die but I lied
I said it and one friend of mine cried
Something's killing me and I can't kill it
So I contemplated taking the L
Loving is losing, one is just a typo
I remember your favorite shop was Typo
You never walked in you just admired from a distance
And now I gotta learn to love you from a distance
Accepted my right and wrongs
I can't make those right with these songs
You had me cuffed and you read me my rights
It made me feel like Ye when he said slavery was a choice
Don't take it the bad way and start making noise
I chose to give my all to one human being daily
I'd rather be sad just so she can be happy
I used to think that I was depressed
But it turns out I was actually depressed
I finally got the doctor to tell me what I've always known
I'm living life now all on my own
Taught me to take care of number one
I don't come second to no man
If I ever did I wouldn't call myself "King" man
I'm dodging addiction like bullets
I don't take any substance cause I get too attached
I wanna let go of everything that's bothering me
But it's just so hard to do when it's just me
Friends say that they there for me
But they got their own lives to live without me
I mind my business and always do me
It's my life, nobody can live it but me
And all along I've been going bout it the wrong way
I finally got to this place but took the long way
[hook]
I love pain cause it reminds me that this is real life
Thought it was just music but Abel taught me real life
I just hope I make it past 25
Cause the way I'm living life ain't right
[verse 2]
I'm not too proud to say I suck at dealing with the pain
But there's always sunshine after the rain
What happens if it rain at night and all we got is the moon
The person I am at night ain't the same person at noon
I smile to hide all the pain that I feel
They say I should talk about it so I can heal
And the doctor offered to put me on pills
I said, "if my time ever come I wanna be able to feel it"
It's no use being numb and struggling when you gotta do real life
I was the happiest kid at 5
Momma ain't let me out the house so all I did was draw
I was already wearing the Man United jersey my uncle got me
That was 2004 and I still got it
I don't really rap no more, but I still got it
And the rhyme scheme is way too crazy
I hope the things I love don't kill me like Patrick Swayze
I'm beyond losing it I'm YG Brazy
I live a crazy life but I'mma calm down
It took losing her to calm the fuck down
I said I won't kill myself don't worry
I know I'm on suicide watch but I won't go Capital Steez
He an angel now, he spread his wings and he left
I can't do that cause I'm not no angel
I got God with me, but I miss you too love you ignoring the devil on my left
I don't have a halo but I got enough thoughts to crack a skull open
Nothing to see here, the shop ain't open
Niggas shooting niggas out in the open
Long live Nipssey, I'mma meet you in heaven
If I ever have kids I pray they outlive me
Worse, imagine dying with your bun still in the oven
I don't wish that life on my worst enemy's kid
That mean I don't wish that on any of my kids
7 was a stretch, that was your dream
Mine is to just live my best life with my team
Stay down til it all comes falling down
I used to wanna fall in love now I'm just falling down
[hook]
I love pain cause it reminds me that this is real life
Thought it was just music but Abel taught me real life
I just hope I make it past 25
Cause the way I'm living life ain't right
I love pain cause it reminds me that this is real life
Thought it was just music but Abel taught me real life
I just hope I make it past 25
Cause the way I'm living life ain't right
