"Learning How to Live"

They say, "Those that mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind."//
Besides God's, the only opinion that really matters is mine.//
My time is coming it's a matter of time.//
Most you niggas just taking up space like matter at times.//
You can doubt me while I'm down in this battle. That's fine,//
but if you think I lost the war, you're out ya rabbit ass mind.// (cause)
They say the GREATer the sruggle, then GREATer is the blessing,//
and GREATer is the diamond when applying GREATer pressure.//
So, I'm thankful for my problems and I'm thankful for their lessons.//
They helped me to prioritize and to put things in prospective.//
(I) Went from confused to enthused 'bout my Life.//
Standing firm like I locked pupils with Medusa's eyesight.//
Never looking in the past, rarely using hindsight.//
(So I) LEFT my old thinking just to get my mind RIGHT.//
And these are just some lessons I've been taught//
in Life's class, where the professor is The Lord,// cause

(Hook)

Verse #2:

I know somebody out there listening shaken his head right now.//
Probably wondering like, "What's going thru his head right now?"//
Man, I'm just happy to be alive; could've been dead right now.//
So, I'm happy to be able to say whateva is said right now.//
See what I'm writing now/ might not blend too tuff//
with those who's known to worry about life's simple stuff.//
Which usually means that they haven't been thru much,//
and if you read their life story they haven't pencil'd much.//
Ya see, we all knew hustlers who neva got to retire,//
and most who lost their life, by niggas now called "lifers"//
The moral of that story is that a Hitman for hire//
is usually hired to kill the fiend's "hit man for hire".//
As an adult drop gems for the minors,//
but even for adults I drop gems like a miner.//
cause as a student of life you'll/ always have pop-quiz//
and that's how it is/ when ya just learning how to live//...(Hook)

Verse #3:

Learning to take it one day @ a time tryna live for the moment.//
Tomorrow has it's own issues. I'll deal with those then.//
Tryna to stay focused/ while in certain situations//
Tryna stop beating myself up for making the same mistakes cause//
no matter how bad it gets some would luv to be trade places.//
So, I'm acustom to the best, but appreciate the basics.//
I've learned to live with few friends/ cause most niggas
don't need 2 twins/ to begin/ Changing Faces.// (2 face niggas).
Learned not too get wrapped up in emotions,//
and when they can people tend to take advantage of ya devotion.//
I'm learning that there plenty of fish in the sea,//
but all it takes is one shark attack to keep some away from that ocean.//
They say, "If you can't be used, then you're useless."//
I say, "Everybody gets used, but some choose to be used-less".//
And nah I ain't Ace this test.//
but everyday it's like I break my neck while I'm just... (Hook)
