i didn't wanna live like this
i didn't wanna live like this
i didn't wanna live like this
i didn't wanna live like this

hello lemme introduce myself
my name Keyz, 19 khartoum, Sudan
is what i rep, and in case you ain't know by now
i'm on my motive and i'm tryna make dough thru rap
cool
but thru the music i get introspective
it's helps me get perspective
it seems my memory's been selective
see i've never been neglected
i'm educated and intellect-ed
but i still question why i act reckless
doobies and booty bottoms, all the libido
i'm assumin' is somethin' all the doctors are callin' lethal
who better to do it than a middle class kid
skippin' school, dude never fit in classes
but he fit in all the parties cuz he lit up mad spliffs
typical story of a bitch ass trick
excuse my provocative language
had i not abused my blessings i couldve went to college at Cambridge
at least that's what my momma and brain says
but me i'm not the type for the parties and banquets
wearin' suits conversating with bankers and elites
me i'd rather shoot up the atrium and leave
*shots*
i never woulda guessed that i'd feel like
real life's shit
but damn it it's a clear crisis
all the spliffs i've hit and the beer i've sipped
i didn't wanna live like this

i didn't wanna live like this
i didn't wanna live like this
i didn't wanna live like this
i didn't wanna live like this

i didn't live like this but despite this
lemme let you know about my vices
my mom and daddy were the nicest
taught they little boy everything they know about being righteous
siblings barely paid fees for college
they beat the odds and got they scholarships
my brother studied economics
he was dabbling in marketing
my sister studied pharmacy
my other sister also is an economist
me i majored in creative writing
cause there's a little beast untamed inside me
that really wants to rap and change society
thru that and even tho the case unlikely
a brother went from basic rhyming
to not an empty space in timing
and i don't mean to brag
but these bars is
flames that might be taste refining
when i'm kickin it the same as tai chi
i didn't mean to go off on a tangent
sometimes i get lost in a trance and 9
outta 10
times
it's because i'm on an alternate path
from what my sisters, brother, and my mom and poppa done had
so i pray my bars is intact
because these beats by arthur enhancin' my speech,
and if the quality of audio's trash
i might turn into a thief, rob all y'all cash
singing i ain't wanna live like this

i didn't wanna live like this
i didn't wanna live like this
i didn't wanna live like this
i didn't wanna live like this
