(Chorus) i'm just living i'm just living i'm just living my life / i'm living my life i'm living my life / trying to get myself together for my kids and my wife / i'm living my life i'm living my life / i'm just living i'm just living i'm just living my life / i'm living my life i'm living my life / and it's taking me forever but i'm getting it right / i'm living my life i'm living my life.
· waking up in the morning / sipping on my coffee / got to get what i got to get done / can't nothing out there stop me / i'm an underdog like rocky / i won some and i lost some / like a seed i've been underground - and now's my time to blossom - i work hard no days off / hoping that it all pays off / week to week on my paycheck - aint riding 'round in no maybach - i'm a real dude with a real life / two kids and a real wife / not a thug and i don't smoke - but i will get down and kill mics / never lie in my music / don't pretend like i'm balling / got bills that i got to get paid - so i go to work in the morning / trying to get right with my family - and people i stay near to - but things i did in my past life keep creeping back in my rearview / pray to god i get right / day to day i live life / trying to treat my wife good / trying to treat my kids right - been a long road and long grind - shed tears and had good times / living up here in the northwest - doing my thing aint hard to find.
(Repeat chorus)
· fighting with my demons / dealing with my issues / riding 'round with baggage / from drama that i've been thru / got to push on and continue / with battle scars from combat - that i cover up with dark shades and a black new era ball cap / stand tall and proud though - from everything that i now know / got things that i tell yall - and things i keep on the down low / been around since seven eight / trying to catch that big break - got to move now i can't wait / do i go hard? Damn straight / nine to five i'm grinding / five to nine i'm hustling / trying to find the time to chill - and write the rhymes i'm busting / i'm an average guy like all yall - i aint famous i aint rich / made a lot of mistakes that i want to erase away like a blank disc - or cover up like band aids / trying to change my bad ways / better not be no follower / that's what mom and dad said / been a long road and long grind - shed tears and had good times / living up here in the northwest / doing my thing aint hard to find.
(Repeat chorus)
· all i'm trying to do is make a little money to stash away / so i'm out here in my city grinding everyday / i aint perfect you can tell by all the many mistakes i made / all i want to do is make sure i don't make them again.
(Repeat chorus)
