this life of mine - j.a.i. cover lyrics

[intro]
j*j.a.i. cover…
let’s do it again

[instrumental intro]

[verse 1]
been stackin’ paper, hoping i would have enough for me to eat
every dollar got a story, every bill gotta squeak (mouse)
used to hustle through the struggle, just to make it through the week
now the same block that broke me, watch me roll up in a jeep
ain’t no trophy for survival, but i still hold mine
nearly two decades in the making, every scar still shine
i done seen my brothers fall, seen my people lose time
i been through so much, it’s kinda hard to make a rhyme
my victories, my passions, they all had a purpose
had to find out what the best is after knowing what the worst is

[chorus]
cash flow steady, life heavy, but i’m still here
dreams cost more than chains, i pay mine clear
every breath i take, it’s another deposit
i ain’t rich just in pockets, i’m rich ‘cause i fought it
yeah, this grind got blood on it, this peace got pain
but i’m grateful for the losses, they the cost of gain
[verse 2]
from the bottom where the nights felt cold as h*ll
had to fight for every dollar, every story to tell
ain’t n0body gave me nothin’, had to earn that sh*t (hustle)
now i’m standin’ where they doubted, talking ’bout “look at this”
a lot of sh*t they gon’ hate (but that’s what happens when you speak truth)
they be talkin’ like they real, but they fake as f*ck
same ones who laughed at me now beg for luck (please?)
i done lost good friends, seen snakes in suits
had to learn real quick who’s down for truth

[breakdown]
almost twenty years
sound like a while, don’t it?
how about i go back in and tell y’all how i made it through?
listen…

[verse 3]
now i’m standin’ on the same ground that i couldn’t walk without
almost twenty years of pain later, still i never bailed out
got my faith in the hustle, got my trust in my grind
i done bought back my soul with every dollar i find (mmm)
they told me money change people, i just changed my view
i see heaven in a safe, and the struggle in the blue (down)
this ain’t flex, it’s reflection, this the mirror of my time
every tear turned to profit, every pain to a sign
now the leather on my seat smell like lessons learned
and the fire in my chest still forever burn
i don’t worship what i earn, but i honor what it took
survival’s in the balance, not the money in the book (never about that)
[chorus]
cash flow steady, life heavy, but i’m still here
dreams cost more than chains, i pay mine clear
every breath i take, it’s another deposit
i ain’t rich just in pockets, i’m rich ‘cause i fought it
yeah, this grind got blood on it, this peace got pain
but i’m grateful for the losses, they the cost of gain
cash flow steady…
