Behold my life, the life that I live is just one
My reflection is God, my shine is the sun
My sign is Aquarius, rap styles I got various
I'm a product of a pops who had bullshit marriages
My girl, she's a G 'cause she carried her
My baby girl Vicki, please believe I'ma marry her
Fill her pockets with fifties and hundreds
I'll look back, say, "I done it, I did it"
Man, I've traveled the seven seas and stayed spank fitted
Shit, the bank did it, my dank stay stank scented
Doja makes squares lose composure
Behold my life, the life that I live is just mine
The days of our lives change in space and time
I break bread with the Hennessy, won't drink with the enemy
Cash foreign money at LAX from Italy
Ayo, bartender, let me get another Hennessy
Behold my life, a DJ since '83
Eric B. is President, made me wanna MC
Made me wanna be the D to the E
Crowned 310 king of Los Angeles City
Behold my life, registered guns and Rambo knives
The funds come in hundreds and ones, I hold on tight
And take the weather however it comes, the sun still shine
The black man said, "Uplift your mind"
Take a page from history and turn it into facts
Bush is back, watch out for the new crack
The streets already hot like in the '80s
And they don't give a fuck how we choose to raise our babies
So this the days of my life in LA
I look at the sunset, light a blunt, and say
Behold my life
The greatest story ever told in rhyme
The life that I live is just one
(My life, my life, my life, my life)
Behold my life, I kneel down and roll my dice
I told cats I work angles so precise
I got on to build, I don't meddle in wars
But I'm all out for sure if they threaten my shores
Bet, family and crew toastin' dark brew
Took time to develop my pictures in darkrooms
Babs, drop the needle, pick up a harpoon
Dip it and tattoo 'em like Mister Cartoon
Globe-trotter, international spot-rocker
In Europe, they bring hash soon as they spot Rakaa
Iriscience, a champion hot-boxer
Crescent Heights D, number one shot-blocker
They get scared when I blow my mic
Not prepared for a cat that'll fight for rights
Behold my life
(My life, my life, my life, my life)
Behold my life, a pale horse and mic device
Up the price, the time is right for shows at night
Peace to The Roots, Choclones
And Dilated Live in Vegas with Pharell and Tom Jones
Slap bones, lay tones of real
Stay blown and in a zone with our own appeal
Turn the shit up in cars or headphones to fill
Drop back, we go long and throw the pill
Niggas are overkill, but understand the deal
Politics took over rap for real
But still we out for top bill and coppin' a mill'
If I fall short, got friends and options to chill
Dilated, blaze the mic device
And I'm blessed, my whole crew spit as cold as ice
Behold my life
(My life, my life, my life, my life)
