| Verse 1 | |
| Once upon a time there was a kid named Michael | |
| he'd write about his life, but with so many typos | |
| like when he wrote live, it should have said love | |
| and when he wrote hit, he really meant hug | |
| but he couldn't dig a hole that's already been dug | |
| like you couldn't smoke a bowl, and not call it a drug | |
| his story so imperfect but that's what made it beautiful | |
| at times like a circus but that's what made it suitable | |
| at a school,.where kids used words like 'dudacleâ? | |
| awesome, and radical with care-free attitudes | |
| but as life went on, he put trust in songs | |
| like when he heard BAD, he put gloves on his palms | |
| when Biv sang Poison, he new jack swung | |
| and when he heard BDP, yo his brain went num | |
| that's when he got struck by that hiphop bug | |
| and those that had it, were the only ones that new what's up | |
| the beginning of a story he'd write in bed | |
| which developed into tears and an ending that read.. | |
| Chorus | |
| Check the rhyme | |
| and check the rhyme one time | |
| now check the rhythm | |
| its the life of mine | |
| Check the rhyme.. | |
| and check the rhyme one time.. | |
| I feel delivered.. | |
| when this life aint mine | |
| Verse 2 | |
| As the story unfolded, the plot did thicken | |
| when michael played with dirt that soap couldn't rid him | |
| hanging with a crowd, that clouded his decisions.. | |
| they doubted he was Christian by the way that he was living | |
| but not a misfit, to most your average Joe blow | |
| minus a bit of lying or a run in with Po-Po (police). | |
| and time to time put his mind in slow-mo | |
| puffin marijuana till motivation was no-show | |
| then took his mental photos and wrote em in a notepad. | |
| utilizing metaphors and rhyming his vocab. | |
| unsigned, hella broke, and still at his folks pad | |
| he crawled back to church home turf since dads gonads | |
| Mike knew life meant more than getting by | |
| living for fame, money, girls or getting high | |
| he heard good deeds could never get him to heaven | |
| but only through grace .and the son that God sent in | |
| and that's when, he felt shivers set in | |
| palms sweating, off his feet it swept him | |
| a concept so deep he couldn't sleep | |
| he fell to his knees, as tears hit the concrete.. | |
| and it wasn't concrete where mike was headed next | |
| but in faith he stepped as he developed this text.. | |
| Chorus | |
| Verse 3 | |
| Now this concept not complex | |
| but in context a contest, | |
| a constant conflict with conscience to conquest | |
| the accomplice promoting Mikes destruction | |
| peddling greed, self righteousness and corruption | |
| but Mike couldn't win or even be that good kid | |
| he needed help, to find out how he could live | |
| he wrestled pride, until a few left hooks hit | |
| and accepted Christ, and everything he could give | |
| but Michael didn't care as people smirked and stared | |
| some gave him props but inside Michael always cheered | |
| he knew his choice was right, | |
| and at times thought twice, | |
| but he believed the word cause the word it brought light, | |
| and he got it, he'd always be a man of sin, | |
| but as long as Christ atoned, Mike was free within, | |
| so he grabbed a pen, without hesitation, | |
| and called his friends bout plans, that he'd be breaking, | |
| and wrote this story, he kept in his head | |
| entitled, "this life aint mine" and it read |
