Lyrics and translation
Original
What is life? I've been wondering, what is my life?
When my cousin went down, they gave him life. I can't talk right now, I'm living my life.
I'm living my life
Fourteen, begging for change on street corners.
Tryna catch that city bus, hustle up three quarters. Couple hours, make twenty dollars.
Back of that bus smelling sour, somebody ain't take a shower, but nonetheless. I get off, walking down
Colfax to get my music. Was too infatuated with rapping to be a shooter.
Mama linked me with this producer who had steam.
My rap dreams now in the hands of a crack fiend. My life, hadn't made much of it, but still growing.
My life, optimistic, excited to keep going. Then I died
Today, we bury the old self. The one driven by pain and performance.
That version has died
Uh, uh, yeah, uh, wake up.
Uh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
In his place stands a new creation, alive in Christ and walking in his. . .
Sin I fought was sold, brand new life, I rose.
Died at the foot of the cross, woke up right next to the throne. Look, if I cut this leash, it might go bad for you.
I got some angels and saints in the heavens who might call my dad on you.
Yeah, call collect if you collecting charges. Part of me, but I can get you pardoned.
Part of me is partial, but he probably part the sea with a stick when he come through.
I give my life like an offering. I gave my life at the altar.
Alter my ego from tryna be amigos with evil, they wanted to off me. Off of me and onto him.
I've been off and on again. All my kids was born in sin. Jesus make 'em born again.
Some of us related by birth, some of us related by blood.
If you know the difference, then you go the distance 'cause you know the meaning of love
My body is holy.
Take me to the depth of love
