Freddie Muneaux - In My Life

Heart of a lion
Blood of a Mayan
Watch me break the code
You know the science
I walk in silence
But I live defiant
Born in darkness
But I see the triumph
In this world full of counterfeits
They had me running round in circles
Cuz they saw the gift
See I knew that I was born with IT
That's why these Clowns coming for me
Since I was a kid
Born a superstar
But I know who you are
First you bite my shit
And then I raise the bar
You tried to stifle everything I do
But I Derrick Rose from the concrete
Over you
And it was always said I had a gift
But it's like I always knew that it would
End like this
So I look into the sky at night
Sometimes I wish that I
Was on the other side
Because it seems
No one can fill this space
Cuz first they took my life
And then they took my faith
So where's the good
When the good's the only ones they take
And then they leave us here surrounded
In this world of snakes
But I ain't given up
Even though I'm dead inside
Cuz I'll look you in your eyes
see if you really live
I used to say
That it's a fate that we can't escape
But the moment that I changed
Was when the Boeings hit the Trades
How many days like this
Must we waste like this
In a daze like this
Confusing bliss with ignorance
I'm post to raise my kids
In a place like this
Where they murder us for profit
Just so they stay rich
I've had the razors on my wrist
But now the gun's in my fist
And I'ma aim and shoot the gift
And turn away before it hits
Before they tighten their grip
See I've been fighting for this
Now let's admit
You had your chance
You took your shot
But you missed
You see pac sparked the brain
Way back in 96
Now you throw me in the mix
Cuz I was built for this shit
And I released my last demon
When I cracked the glass ceiling
And now I see the reason
That my heart continues beating
And I'm a villain with the brilliance
But I'm the pinnacle of hope
And that's the difference
See every word
Is like a drop of blood
So when I'm finished with the verse
I'm like, Is that enough ?
And now the doubts about to hit ya
The complicated mixture's boiled down to something simple
I see the flaws in the scripture
So I resized my image
Now you see the bigger picture
And now them tables turned
And I can see the future
Cuz now them Strangers pulling up
Just like you called an Uber
And got you pacing round your house
Cuz you ain't got a shooter
And half your circle
Out the window
Now you calling troopers
Oh
I'm working all my life
And now I'm falling up
Cuz I've been walking through the fire
For a couple bucks
There's plenty times
When I felt like I had had enough
But I'm a champion
And bout to hold that trophy up
See every round
I'm bout to knock em down
Cuz I've taken punches from the best
And I'm still around
You hit hard or you can get hit
So now I'm moving like water
With an open fist
Too many times
It felt like I had nowhere else to go
And all I had was my pen
And my Casio
From darkside, Missing Lynx to the Cameo
The Revolution, Great Work
And now we bring it home
