My Life Lyrics


See I done been discriminated against
Talked about by my friends
Played a fool by women
And had a daddy with no feelingsI lived in ghettos with my momma
Used the stove to heat our water
And had to share clothes with my brothers
Three of us, one bed, one cover ohThose were the happiest days of my life
If it ain't rough, it ain't right
Street lights are coming on, better get home
Better get homeThose were the happiest days of my life
If it ain't rough, it ain't right
While we're reminiscing Christopher Reeves
You're still Superman to meYou're still Superman
You're still Superman
You're still Superman to meSee I done been mistreated and discouraged
Felt like I was worthless
Lonely scared and nervous
In a world without no purposeCried out to God, "I didn't deserve this"

But He said, "In time I would
See it's the bad times that make the good times
Feel so good"And those were the happiest days of my life
If it ain't rough, it ain't right
Street lights are coming on, better get home
Better get homeThose were the happiest days of my life
If it ain't rough, it ain't right
While we're reminiscing Christopher Reeves
You're still Superman to meI said, "You're still Superman to me"
No body is gonna take your place
'Cause you're still
'Cause you're still Superman to meLet's goYo I done changed dirty diapers
Cooked food with lighters
Shot so much game
Chicks nicknamed me SniperFamous ghostwriter
Bank account retired
Too many zeros
Poppy still illegalChain look like nickels
Mixed with icicles
Stretching from the neck area
To the genitalsI got a parrot on my shoulder
That talk for me
And he don't say shit
But, "Nigga back off of me"Yeah, I'm a hood nigga
But I'm still a good nigga
Bought a couple kids new bikes
Just 'cause I could niggaAnd I ain't one who be lookin' for thanks
I just ball 'cause I like the Yanks

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
Lyfe Jennings (born Chester Jennings in Toledo, Ohio) is an African American R&B and soul singer-songwriter, record producer, and instrumentalist. He plays the guitar, bass, and piano which he integrates into his music.

Jennings began singing at a young age in a Toledo church choir. He later joined a group called The Dotsons with two of his cousins and his older brother, Jay. The group separated in the early 1990s, and Jennings rediscovered music and started a music program at an Ohio prison where he was serving a ten-year sentence on an arson-related charge. He has cited Erykah Badu's 1997 album Baduizm as one of the reasons for his rediscovery. Jennings was released from prison in December 2002 and started to pursue a solo career in music. In January 2003, he performed in Harlem at the Showtime at The Apollo. The same year, he also independently released his first EP, What Is Love. To further pursue his career, Jennings moved to New York City where he performed at rapper Nelly's concert at Radio City Music Hall, at an NAACP convention where he performed an original song called "Thank God for the NAACP", and at the Cafeteria in Chelsea, Manhattan during the blackout on August 14. He signed with Columbia Records and released his debut album Lyfe 268-192 (268-192 was his inmate number) in August 2004. His first single was Stick Up Kid, which didn't see much sucess until after the album was released. The album featured his hit single "Must Be Nice". Jennings' second album The Phoenix was released in August 2006. The first single, "S.E.X.", feautures Jennings' protégé, singer LaLa Brown.
