Twas My Life by Nahla Bri~Colage Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Hello, hello
You over there
I came equip with a little flavor for the ear
So just sit back relax and listen up
As early memories rise to surface
I grew up top of a hill; the view was breathtaking
But most days back then, felt more like hell, than heaven
A very few times my very own breath nearly got taken
By demons walking around with a knife and a gun
The violence, drugs, and jealousy made it hard to excel
But better days saw me and my friends steadily prevailing
Going outside using our active imaginations
We were busy with life and all of its creations
[Chorus]
This was my life
But I ain’t tripping
Grandma’s savings on “E”
Cause she’s always giving
No dad around to help adjust my tiara
But that’s ok though because I’m winning now
I rock a crown every time I walk around
And as the saying goes;
It ain’t where you come from it’s where you’re heading to
That’s why I always walk around with a positive attitude
[Verse 2]
Aye yo, aye yo
My friend I was over here
Sitting pon’ the stairs
On a beautiful Saturday morning
Watching grandma slay inside of her pretty garden
Heard a loud noise, “bang“ that shit was startling
Turned to my right it’s my neighbors arguing
Apparently the husband got caught cheating again
As a matter of fact this type of scene, filled with obscenities was quite the norm
Many family units broken up, facing storms due to lack of commitment
Too many of us including my very self grew up without a father
Who could care less to bother to raise their sons and daughters
[Chorus]
This was my life
But I ain’t tripping
Grandma’s savings on “E”
Cause she’s always giving
No dad around to help adjust my tiara
But that’s ok though because I’m winning now
I rock a crown every time I walk around
And as the saying goes;
It ain’t where you come from it’s where you’re heading to
That’s why I always walk around with a positive attitude
[Bridge]
Switch!
Younger days saw us up and down the streets riding wild
Use to be on da porch listening to Pac
Biggie and Beenie Man dem non-stop
Young kids we were da boss
[Chorus]
This was my life
But I ain’t tripping
Grandma’s savings on “E”
Cause she’s always giving
No dad around to help adjust my tiara
But that’s ok though because I’m winning now
I rock a crown every time I walk around
And as the saying goes;
It ain’t where you come from it’s where you’re heading to
That’s why I always walk around with a positive attitude
Hello, hello
