letra de that life - ovadia

[intro]
this is that life!

[verse 1]
i’ve been around the world, but i bet you never heard of me
word to steve short who taught me how to murder these mics
like ray rice with his wife in an elevator
too soon to say it?
guess it’s too late to change it!
but dang it, i never thought that i’d get to say that i made it
man i’m elated to say that i’m here, even if i ain’t famous
i grew up hoping i’d get a chance
hoping i’d get to rap
and knowing that missing that
would have me looking back in my past and asking
why this and that got in the way
but i stayed the course, every day
got up every morning, no more snoring, pouring coffee to get going
and i always remembered to get on my knees and pray:
“dear lord, please don’t make me stop rhyming
my soul needs these lines just to keep surviving
i’m not lying, inside my mind is dying, but trying to fly
and designing these rhymes is keeping me alive!”

[hook]
this is that life!
go hard ‘till the lights out
you know it’s right now
it’s my time to strike
this is that life!
i’m ready to blow up
i’m here to show ya
what p-ssion looks like
this is that life! (x2)

[verse 2]
it started seven years ago when i picked up a pen
for the first time to write a line that my eye had never read
as my mind tried to decide how that rhyme was supposed to end
i realized that i was trying to comprehend
life
see, i never rapped for the money or fame
they never meant much to me, but this keeps my mind sane;
staves off the pain of a broken world:
a broken pearl curled and whirled
swirled through this spoken word
blurred the lines between reality and the absurd
a lens that slurred my vision when looking made me hurt
too much for me to stand the sight
when the light of the world was so hard to find
my foes so hard to fight
this is my sleight of hand
a trick to make my life seem alright
even in quicksand
this is the light i strike to write my last plan;
this is my last stand;
my last grand command;
this is that life!
