omega (rapper) - this life lyrics
[intro]
(free me from this life)
(free me from this life)
somebody told me that we all choose our own destiny
that mean it’s about who got the conviction to stick to the path that they chose
and in my darkest hour (free me from this life)
when the forces that be aligned against me
and demons come tappin’ at my window and beckin’ me to war
will i go? will i go?
[verse 1]
as a child i ran the streets with my mother
in those dark days before the birth of ill mill, my blood brother
and even when he came to continue
up in the warzone, moms used to cop hits on 6th venue
don’t get me wrong, my mothers love wasn’t lost
but you can’t really raise a child while you’re not in love
plus pops was nowhere to be found, see
he was livin’ his street dream, gettin’ down with his get+down
my grandmother took us in and for that i’m grateful
’cause she became my teacher and friend
taught me how to speak the proper english, why and when
and to make the best of any situation i’m in
aftermath, more years in the street, my mom dukes got wise
and got with them rehab groups
got out, got a job, learned to manage the loot
yo, i was proud, i thought it was a miracle true
could this really be an end to her pain and crime?
in this dark life of mine could some good light shine?
yo, my family was family for the first time
and i soon be amazed at the love i find
[chorus]
’cause see, life’s lessons are hard learned
respect is hard earned, i yearn for love, time to return
we have some people face this situation
drugs and crime underline our whole foundation, just
(free me from this life) no doubt
if you on the wrong path, it’s not too late to re+route
poverty’s the biggest prison and we all want out, just
(free me from this life) my god
it seems we all physically and mentally scarred
tell my why you make a livin’ when your life’s so hard?
[verse 2]
visions of my father stay engraved in my head
when the aids took him, he was crackin’ jokes on his death bed
it sound wild, but those who knew him
know it’s just like him to look up in death’s face [?]
his last hours, he told barney, ”come here”
and whispered in her ear about his date with fate and fear
i marvelled at the courage of this man with my tears
soul, face, i leaned down and kissed his shiverin’ hand
wishin’, i could switch around life’s foul plan
trade his life for mine and say goodbye to this land
thinkin’ that in reality time’s the real crook
all those years off his life that the cook up+took
yo, he always said we was alike exactly
how he used to cut school and run the streets like me
i had a wrong route as a way of pullin’ you in
and had to learn the hard way, let my example be him
he’d apologized for beatin’ my moms, we discussed music
and life, debatin’ [?] and songs and i miss him
i only wish you could’ve known his glory, his fate
you got your wish daddy, you died clean
[chorus]
see, life’s lessons are hard learned
respect is hard earned, i yearn for love, time to return
you know we all feel the situation
drugs and crime underline our whole foundation, just
(free me from this life) no doubt
if you on the wrong path, it’s not too late to re+route
poverty’s the biggest prison and we all want out, just
(free me from this life) my god
it seems we all physically and mentally scarred
tell my why you make a livin’ when your life’s so hard? just
(free me from this life) no doubt
if you on the wrong path, it’s not too late to re+route
poverty’s the biggest prison and we all want out, just
(free me from this life) my god
it seems we all physically and mentally scarred
tell my why you make a livin’ when your life’s so hard? just
