LYRICS
WHAT’S LIFE? (KOKO BEATS)
VERSE 1
What’s life? Always asking me like there’s a right.. Answer to that.. I can’t stand when that keeps popping up but listen here in fact.. It’s perspective shit don’t neglect the shit that you done big or small you so hesitant.. To give yourself props when you take that extra shift.. To earn more and fill empty space in that fridge..
But you blame your job.. Say the shit sucks even though you working hard.. Put yourself down say you don’t deserve it nah.. And with that mindset there’s no way you ain’t hurting all.. That negative shit adds up.. And then opportunities passed off.. Don’t take this bad but is you really sad? Or mad you ain’t in a mansion with a fast car.. But you write it off like it’ll never happen.. Waste time tripping rather than just stepping.. The direction you feel necessary for your happiness i hope i got you second guessing.. Your thoughts from the past.. Cause i promise it could happen.. Give your all is all i ask.. Then sit back and watch the magic.. And i ain’t even where wanna be yet.. But I believe ill be there it’s the hope it’s trust in yourself.. You may have a few friends but i know they don’t spend no time with the voice in your head.. Well?.. That’s YOU that’s your muhfucking best friend.. And you wrong if you ain’t tryna protect him.. Please understand that nobody has all the answers.. Cause if we did then I’d have the one for the question you asking.. But no, I don’t.. And that’s dope, Look close.. Nothing but open ended questions.. Up to us to get the message.. That’s the thing, it’s selective.. What that brings is the blessing of making life what we choose it to be.. This how i view it for me..
PRE
I’m a fucking King you never seen, on a throne.. That you ain’t ever seen cause I built it on my own.. If you really believe in me you gotta know.. That we ain’t gonna stop till we motherfucking
HOOK
Blow up.. I don’t see the dollars i see more love.. All about confiding we ain’t hiding so they know us.. I been tryna get it ever since i was a youngin.. I been out here fucking popping out in LA boy I’m stuntin.. I feel great.. Boy i feel amazing everybody praising they be saying I’m great.. And i be tryna thank them.. Back with all these things but i know that never does.. Enough for what they done.. For me yeah..
VERSE 2
YOU matter MOST.. Never fold.. You don’t know.. all the things that’ll come from the work they don’t see like a Ghost.. Like a Rolls.. Gotta choice.. Do you want that Honda civic or a Royce?.. Say you dont care, that’s a lie.. That’s the mindset of somebody that’s gon’ settle.. That aint you?!.. We both know that, take your throne back you belong there but you do you..
I can not make that decision for you.. You vision just cloudy that paranoia.. Remember the reason you on this voyage.. And because of that you ain’t always gon be buoyant.. Just pray to God and know he got you it’s okay.. Soon all your problems turn to dollars and no way.. That ain’t gon’ cause you more problems it’s a sure thing.. That stress of making profit is gon’ be nowhere to be found.. Cause the people that stayed down when i needed em.. Help me find, why I’m alive.. Now i proudly can say im the reason...
PRE
I’m a fucking King you never seen, on a throne.. That you ain’t ever seen cause I built it on my own.. If you really believe in me you gotta know.. That we ain’t gonna stop till we motherfucking

I haven’t even met you personally and it feels like your my long lost relative, it’s sucks being in a place where everyone around you has such a small mind set, but you give me hope.

This is why he is who he is and why he continues to grow as a person and an artist. He is humble and respects where he is today instead of acting entitled, like some artists do. He built this shit from the ground up and I love the line where he says he's not even where he where he wants to be yet! If you settle you will never live up to your potential. Always strive for more and never doubt who you are, cuz no body can do you better than you so be the very best you that you can be. There will never be another artist on his level because he made this level he owns the rights to this shit. Go out and build yours and sit on your own throne! #FACTS I absolutely respect and love him as an artist and a person. I am a Huge fan @iamtherealak you are freaking legendary already. Much love ❤

Im over here working a 12 hour shift, feet aching, back aching and i have to come back to this song every break to remind me that this is only going to lead to something better. All of it is to get up on a higher level and get where i wanna be. Gotta love ak for being so damn real. "but you blame ya job say that shit sucks even tho you working hard put yourself down say you dont deserve it nah with that mindset there’s no way you ain’t hurting all" oh nah bro, working hard is one thing and i do my damn best, but some jobs dont pay you enough to be a literal slave for 12 hours a day, with pay based on seniority and base pay being 15 an hour you got me messed up. i aint got no problem earning my keep but being someones punk for 12 hours a day at a job an hour away lol ill let you think about that one. and i have a slipped disc and and plantar fasciitis, i had to rush to the ER cause i thought i was dying lmfao. had to come back and add this cause im quitting and finding another job lol cant stop working but i cant stay there xD
