Mr Jimah - Life's Like Lyrics

Tell me what your life's like, are you really living
Will your younger self be happy with your decisions
Growing up, you had dreams, did you make it
Never too late, in your hands where your faith is

Yeah, everything I'm doing now, I'm doing it with love
Only fear in my heart's for the one that's above
So much changes in my life through the years
So much ups and downs, shed invisible tears

But I'm here, and I'm stronger than ever
Been through the stormiest weather
So tell me how you're feeling, tell me how you're feeling
Before you quit, I hope you find your reason

Now I'm older and wiser, see things different
Gotta keep some friendships distant
Now I'm older and wiser, I see things different
Gotta keep some friendships distant

And it's been years since I bagged up a shot
Different life, tooled up, baking off on the block
Looking back, who would've thought this would be life
Working man, four kids and a wife, it's mad

It's mental, ayy
Don't forget your roots is essential
Born in Naij, I was raised in Newham
01 Brampton Manor in the building and

Big up my mom and my dad
Never gave up on the kid when I was moving real mad
Thinking I was grown, I would run away from home
Chilling in the hostel with people that wish they had a home

It's crazy and ironic when you think about it
Now I'm a dad, I pray my son never thinks about it
Every night I sit and pray for my kids when they sleep
Cause the devil really out here and he's playing for keeps

Everybody wanna be gang, gang and bang, bang
I pray that you're ready when that door slams
Only thing promising is life is death
So when your time come, I pray that there's no regrets

Tell me what your life's like, are you really living
Will your younger self be happy with your decisions
Growing up you had dreams did you make it
Never too late in your hands where your fate is

Tell me what your life's like, are you really living
Will your younger self be happy with your decisions
Growing up your had dreams did you make it
It's never too late in your hands where your fate is

See everybody dies but not everybody lives
Life full of chaos but I'm choosing peace
Thinking about my friends that never made it here
I realized seeing another day is never really clear

One thing bout life it's never really fair
Cancer took Caleb, I still dream that he was really here
Look at his bro in his eye, I see pain in there
Life goes on but memories never disappear

So count your blessings while your eyes open
Life's too short to be living, seeking validation
I hug my children every chance I get
Tell my wife I love her, never know how much time is left

Cause this life is far from a joke
You gotta see the mirrors through the smoke
The grass ain't always greener if you water yours
I said that the grass ain't always greener if you water yours

You gotta stand for something in this world of sin
And watch for the evil eye cause most don't wanna see you win
So misguided in our younger years
So much talent in the dirt, a lot of brothers doing years

It's peak on the phone so cruza leaves my heart heavy
Cause he ain't coming home till he reaches 40
A wrong decision got him stuck in jail
Now he's sitting down wishing on the wishing well

My eyes were shut but now I'm seeing clearly Only wish it happened early
But if it did will I be here, it's scary
If it would change what I have now I wouldn't change the past
Take the good with the bad, guess I'm destined for this path

Everything's for a reason
Don't lose hope everyone's got a season
Everything's for a reason
Don't lose hope everyone's got a season

Now tell me what your life's like are you really living
Will your younger self be happy with your decisions
Growing up you had dreams did you make it
Never too late in your hands where your fate is

Tell me what your life's like are you really living
Will your younger self be happy with your decisions
Growing up you had dreams did you make it
Never too late in your hands where your fate is

Tell me what your life's like are you really living
Will your younger self be happy with your decisions
Growing up you had dream did you make it
It's never too late in your hands where your fate is

Tell me what your life's like are you really living
Will your younger self be happy with your decisions
Growing up you had dreams did you make it
It's never too late in your hands where your fate is
