Del Haze - ALL MY LIFE

I've been looking for you all my life
For you day and night
For you all my life
I've been looking for you all my life
For you day and night
For you all my life
Uh
I ain't praying for a mill
Cause when I was coming up we were praying for a meal
With my E63
Fam I always kept it real
In my Sean John hoodie
When I had to rob and steal
I done made it through terrain
In the rain
Without a dollar to my name
I couldn't even catch a train
My mother was ashamed
And my daddy took the blame
And my homie took his life when I was only 17
So
How do you prepare
For a life you couldn't dream
My brother had to hold me down at night when I would scream
I was living with the filthiest fiends
Fam it was real
And I can smell them council flats still
Old habits die hard
I can cook crack still
I paid for my sins
Me and God got a deal
I was reckless with pills
And it almost got me killed
When you're in it
You want out of it
Don't fall for the appeal
The fall of the realest
Ya'll was waiting on my slip up
But I was in the trap getting my
Tell your homie to fix up
I got contingencies if the brick's stuck
I get insurance on the big stuff
Life been tough
We been tougher
I'm not ever gonna watch my son suffer
I don't trust a motherfucker
Ask about me
He's a nutter
He's a father and a brother
But I bet you didn't know I was a clean heart brudda
I had to let it go
And my brother can attest to it
But why the fuck would he give you a testament
I sent a yungen to reload
Take your piece return the rest of it
If you can't get to sleep
Take some restavit
Homie, I'm
Big Stepping in my city
Bro, I'm giddy
I remember rinsing litty
With a crew full of nitties
Do you feel me?
Do you see me?
I made it through the valley of death
I done conquered every threat y'all could give me
We ain't stopping for no red light
The strap's close, brudda
Think twice
Man I'm done with being nice
I got them itching at their head like it's lice
How's that brudda so nice
And I don't rap
But you can catch me throwing dice
No mercy for a mice
Can I make it?
Shit, I might
Hypothermia at night
Fourteen and I would still slap a big man twice
Get up homie
It's aight I know you bigger
But it's clear we haven't fought the same fight
Cause I was sleeping in a living hell
Couldn't you tell?
And my line wouldn't ring as well
But that shit shouldn't ring a bell
I was in pain telling y'all that I was living well
But I would've been better in a prison cell
Smoking wedding cake
Fam I delegate
And if you're thinking to catch up
It's already late
I'm coming for your food
I've already ate
I used to have to grind with a bellyache
I don't ever roll through in numbers
But you know I know the heavyweights
I've made peace with every outcome I could face
Now they mad and it's written on they face
I'm not one you could replace
If it's late I'll put a nine to your face
I know you look and see a criminal
But we don't come from the same place
It's different principles
I don't give a fuck if I don't fit inside the box you tried to suffocate me into
We cannot relate
Cause you ain't been through what I've been through
I've been looking for you all my life
For you day and night
For you all my life
I've been looking for you all my life
For you day and night
For you all my life
More time I can't sleep at night
I struggle with a destiny I couldn't fight
But now I'm seeing life
in a different light
I know you see the way I move
And you don't get it right
I disappeared and went all in so I could get it right
Saying my prayers under a candlelight
If it's my life or your life then you ain't making it back home tonight
Favored by God and I see through your lies
I'm grateful for the highs,
But my lows be the place I truly thrive
I look into my son's face and I see my eyes
The mirror used to show me eyes I couldn't recognize
I'm talking bout the kind of sacrifice
That has your chest hurting when you try to sleep
And screaming the stars at night
I believe in every moment
I'm right where I'm meant to be
And I keep you close
Even if you're never next to me
I'm steady chasing my destiny
And when it's time
I'll pick up all these pieces to give you whatever's left of me
