  • Sweet life, oh my, you turn this to life
    All the darkness, scattered out of sight
    I've been waiting on this for some time
    Now that it's here, I'm gonna rewind

    When my back's against the wall then I react
    The point of no return, hey it ain't no comin' back
    Ask me what the difference is, I got everything they lack
    And I really touched that bag, see I really had a sack
    I done been to Hell and back, I seen Lucifer himself
    I seen niggas pawn their souls cause they ain't got nothin' left
    Fuck all that hopin' and wishin', my nigga, play your position
    I know you thought I wasn't lookin' but I was payin' attention
    No you can't see through my shades, just know I'm smilin' inside
    It's like the old me deceased, I'm kinda glad that I died
    This that new and improved, this that I'm in the mood
    You know he don't like to lose so why y'all fuckin' with dude?
    Hey look it could be that Pac in me, or maybe my prophesy
    Won't let you drive me crazy, it's like I studied psychology
    Ask me my occupation, I say I live for a livin'
    Now what you see when you see me? I did alright for a villain
    My sweet life

    Sweet life, oh my, you turn this to life
    All the darkness, scattered out of sight
    I've been waiting on this for some time
    Now that it's here, I'm gonna rewind

    I guess the haters ain't so bad after all
    I'm lookin' forward to my haters comin' after y'all
    Boy you sure had me fooled, you should've been an actor, dawg
    My success, it make you jump like you've been drinkin' alcohol
    Yeah I'm 'bout to go so hard, I'ma make these niggas sick
    Ain't no neutral, what's your side? I'ma make you niggas pick
    Hey I don't know everything, I just know what I know
    Why would you follow them niggas? They don't even know where to go
    Won't see me do no complainin', maybe some rearrangin'
    Now let's get this understood, sometimes some change can be good
    Could be good, could be great, your destiny or your fate
    If I wasn't a ghetto prophet I'd still be movin' the weight
    Yeah you know when I'm winnin', you see me out and i'm grinnin'
    Been chasin' paper since Monday, that's 7 days I've been sinnin'
    Count your tests and blessings cause they're all God-given
    Like it's the big magic question, how did I dodge prison?
    My sweet life

    Sweet life, oh my, you turn this to life
    All the darkness, scattered out of sight
    I've been waiting on this for some time
    Now that it's here, I'm gonna rewind Writer/s: CHRISTOPHER UMANA, JAY JENKINS, JONATHAN PRIESTER, LORINE CHIA
