All My Life

Ever since I was three years old, I been holding a microphone

Posing for the camera, with a fake chain and my Nikes on

And they said I had swagger before it was cool

All the pretty girls liked me, bro

I would talk to them all at the same time

Even though I had a wifey, though

We moved into the hood, now everybody trying to fight me, oh

Since I was all by myself, I never left my knife at home

I was raising my brother to grow up

And be the man that he's supposed to be

Actions speak louder than words

I was doing some things he was never suppose to see

Hopefully, he understands, that now everything has changed

Once I get a deal, his life ain't never gon' be the same

Never be the same, nah, nah, anything he want he could have it all

And if them kids say that he spoiled, that's okay, it'll be my fault

It's okay, it's okay, I just want him to have better

That smile on his face, I want it to last forever

I'm a keep grinding, cause in this game, I'm a earn my stripes

I'm a catch my flight, I'm a get my hype

I been waiting for this moment, for all my life

All my life, I been working for all my life, now it's my time to shine

I been working for this, I been waiting for this

I been ready for this, I been dreaming for

I been dreaming for all my life, waiting on my one big break

Five hundred songs recorded, I go hard on every mixtape

A couple thousand albums sold, videos getting all the plays

I been working real hard for a minute

Now I think it's time for a raise

I remember the days when I would rap into a mic and you couldn't understand a word

Now I'm selling out shows and the fans telling me

I'm the very best that they heard

Growing up I was so smart, that the black kids said

Zach you're such a nerd

They tried to jump me, I told them that I ain't never scurred

And I can't even sleep

Cause I'm thinking 'bout everything that I'm trying to achieve

My momma told me I need education

But I already know what I'm trying to be

And you the one that told me that I just gotta believe

Get rich or die trying, I'm a succeed

And when I finally get that deal

You can say that your lil boy doing big things

I'm so mean, I'm so selfish, baby I can't help it

Constantly hard headed, like I'm always wearing a helmet

And you can't tell me, that this music isn't worth it

It's in my blood, in my circuits, I'm working cause this my purpose

Yeah

All my life, all my life, I been working for this

I been waiting for this, I been ready for this, I been dreaming for
