Thomas Austin - This Life Chose Me Lyrics

Aye
Leave it all on the line
Spirit be guiding me
This my moment in time
Remember they doubted me
I got way too much to prove
This how it's gotta be
I'd be willing to risk it all if it's required of me
Lose my mind trying to save my peace
Lose my peace cause I get no sleep
Lose my sleep trying to satisfy you
I lost you the day this life chose me
Overtime
This like my 5th time this week
I been running low on sleep
I sacrifice so we can eat
I paid the price giving my time
That's why my work come with a fee
Why my name known in the street
That's why the bar is set on me
I swear I wonder what this rap game would look like without me
Only one that's pouring in
Everyone just taking out it
Cameras document it all
I can't go nowhere without em
I can't turn this life off
You wouldn't know a thing about it
Man I used to dream about it
I swear the voices on the side get louder when you start to win
The only thing I do is drown em
All I hear is stories bout what they would do if they were here instead of me
Man It's astounding
That the level I chase
That four face mountain
Check the stats
The hours are countless
I've come too far
I can't look back
No time for lounging
Trying to pass em all like I'm inbounding
I power forward
They still rebounding
Aye
Leave it all on the line
Spirit be guiding me
This my moment in time
Remember they doubted me
I got way too much to prove
This how it's gotta be
I'd be willing to risk it all if it's required of me
Lose my mind trying to save my peace
Lose my peace cause I get no sleep
Lose my sleep trying to satisfy you
I lost you the day this life chose me
All the trophies
And the cameras
And the plaques like the banners
At the height of all
Are you humble
Can you manage
All the hate disguised as love
It's more temptation than you can you handle
I was chose for this position
I'll show you how to lead by example
Man this whole thing started with a gamble
Way I built my team up
Now we all here looking like the Sanders
Went from bottom tier
To a average talent
To he slept on
To the standard
Then the whole city got behind me
Made the world tune in like a channel
Trying to shatter records when I come through
Like tapping glass with a hammer
Are they still surprised
A lot of people said we wouldn't make it far
I got the list memorized
2023 the only time being real gets penalized
Gave my whole heart
Climbed every step
I ain't get to skip a line
You can feel the aura when I walk in
Make you feel energized
A moment that's too big for my me
One thing you'll never find
Wasting no time begging you to stay
You can choose whatever side
Heard somebody say that my time now
It couldn't be a better time
Aye
Leave it all on the line
Spirit be guiding me
This my moment in time
Remember they doubted me
I got way too much to prove
This how it's gotta be
I'd be willing to risk it all if it's required of me
Lose my mind trying to save my peace
Lose my peace cause I get no sleep
Lose my sleep trying to satisfy you
I lost you the day this life chose me
