RisN talks about the single: “This is the story me about growing up. It talks about my dad dying of AIDS when I was nine years old, and my brother being killed when he was seven-teen and I was fourteen, and it talks about me being involved in the streets prior to God. It’s a deep emotional/ inspiring song!”
Lyrics:
Intro:
Uh huh, uh huh, uh huh, uh huh,
Uh huh, uh huh, uh huh, this is my life
Uh huh, uh huh, wish you were still here,
Uh huh, uh huh uh huh,
Verse 1
Yo, First Off, my brother died the age of seventeen,
I, look in the mirror like it could’ve been me,
Or in my mind thinking like it should’ve been me,
I was doing the same things I know I shouldn’t be but,
Yo, homie I’m still kicking, figuring in my mind why am I still breathing,
I know there must be a reason; your life fell down bro but now I’ve Risen,
Came from the same mom, same dad, same weed bag,
Same crazy friends ready to pop that…
We hated school so much ready to drop that,
Thank God when tempted with rocks I didn’t cop that,
Yo, some reason I’m still breathing, I’m still kicking, I’m still living, yea,
And I’m living my life, and yes sir I’m living it right, I’m living it right but…
Chorus:
You know it aint easy (uh huh, uh huh, uh huh, yea)
Living life right, (uh huh, uh huh, uh huh, yea)
I say you know it aint easy, (uh huh, uh huh, uh huh, yea)
Living life right
Verse 2:
Secondly, I wish my childhood wasn’t so broken,
So much stress on my mind I started smoking,
My pops died of Aids before I turned ten,
Then my brother got shot I was a mess then,
Cuz said we gone find them dudes alright,
Them cats that shot him they won’t see another night,
Yea, but inside I aint feel right,
Cuz something was telling me this isn’t how I should live life, some,
Thugs wanted me to get up on the grind,
And if it wasn’t pistols it was money on their mind,
I even wanted to try to give it a little time,
But deep down inside I felt like I was dying,
But bro, I’m still breathing, I’m still kicking, I’m still living, yea,
And I’m living my life, and yes sir I’m living it right, I’m living it right, but
Chorus
You know it aint easy (uh huh, uh huh, uh huh, yea)
Living life right, (uh huh, uh huh, uh huh, yea)
I say you know it aint easy, (uh huh, uh huh, uh huh, yea)
Living life right
Verse 3:
Thirdly, I found a new life, a new way to live, all thanks to Christ,
No longer hang on the streets at night; I guess you can say I’ve seen the light, uh,
And what I started I won’t quit, you see I ran other tracks now this is it,
And it’s the final lap and I’m running until the end of it,
Yea, it’s the final lap and I’m running until the end of it,
And I cant stop, I wont stop, I wont lose,
I’m on charge, I wont sleep, and I wont snooze,
I’m such a fighter; I’ve been hit, but won’t bruise,
I won’t break there’s too much I been through
Some thought I would stop, but I didn’t stop,
Some thought I would quit, but I didn’t quit,
Bro I’m a fighter, watch me swing,
And Imma fight until the end you see,
Fight till the end you see because!
Chorus
You know it aint easy (uh huh, uh huh, uh huh, yea)
Living life right, (uh huh, uh huh, uh huh, yea)
I say you know it aint easy, (uh huh, uh huh, uh huh, yea)
Living life right
Outro:
We got one life man,
What you gonna do with it
Rest in peace bro
Live Life Right
