My Life Lyrics

I took my first steps to mom's record collection

Hung on the wall

I wanted to hear that Al Green

Stevie Wonder or Marvin Gaye sing that song

I don't remember my father he wasn't really there

So it was only me and Miss Pat Scott but that was ok

She raised me everywhere

I learned piano at the age of six

Then came cello tenor saxophone man that was the shit

I was born to stand up and not to sit

I found my voice at the age of thirteen

Singing in choirs that was the thing to keep me grounded

Out of trouble music was my life man that was my thing

Growing up in Long Beach that was the flex

High school playin' b-ball I wonder what's next

Oh yea adulthood off to college that was epic

Got married at a young age I thought I knew the game

But that fast fell apart then had an issue with my heart

Life wasn't the same

Years went by I found I had a computer for a brain

Rose up in the IT I met someone got cancer

Man life's insane

Curve balls left and right faced mortality dead in the face

But I'm not done with life's race

It's a brief look at my life today

This is the story of my life

And I grew into this man that's before you

I will let you know how I got started

My ups and down I'm not ashamed

Of where I came from

Not making an excuse nah

This is the story of my walk

And how I went through life

Fought my battles

Got knocked down and got back up

Just a little peak into the life of Transparent-C

This is my life on display for you to see

Twenty-nineteen was the year

When I didn't have a residence

A hotel was my home for 30 days

Cause my home was hesitant

Cause there were cancelled plans

It wasn't how it was supposed to be

It was supposed to be in my home with the one who held the key

Flash forward to twenty twenty yeah that's when covid hit me

With a breathing tube down my throat to keep me alive

That's when I saw my granny again with her arms out wide

Telling me welcome home

I faced mortality again but my granny said that my life isn't done

So I came back to this plain of existence

And now I used this life to motivate you

To lift you up in the midst of this system

I had a bout with depression like I said in Just Breathe

I use my life as an example to show you

You can make it keep fighting

Even the I relapsed with leukemia yeah cancer again

But I made it through and you can too

Just keep pushing

This is a little look into my life and how I came to be

The man who I am will leave his legacy

This is the story of my life

And I grew into this man that's before you

I will let you know how I got started

My ups and down I'm not ashamed

Of where I came from

Not making an excuse nah

This is the story of my walk

And how I went through life

Fought my battles

Got knocked down and got back up

Just a little peak into the life of Transparent-C

This is my life on display for you to see

This is the story of my life

And I grew into this man that's before you

I will let you know how I got started

My ups and down I'm not ashamed

Of where I came from

Not making an excuse nah

This is the story of my walk

And how I went through life

Fought my battles

Got knocked down and got back up

Just a little peak into the life of Transparent-C

This is my life on display for you to see

This is the story of my life

And I grew into this man that's before you

I will let you know how I got started

My ups and down I'm not ashamed

Of where I came from

Not making an excuse nah

This is the story of my walk

And how I went through life

Fought my battles

Got knocked down and got back up

Just a little peak into the life of Transparent-C

This is my life on display for you to see
