Story Behind The Song

Story was inspired from the song "HipHop Naton" by Channel Live featuring S5. We decided to do the first part of the song using their version of the beat which will then progress and change into our production at the same time combining 2 different stories, 2 different choruses all tied down by the simple concept of the path we choose will also resemble the life we will lead...

Song Description

This record tells 2 different stories the first consisting of a local rapper who wanted to make it so bad that when he came across a new hustle that provided more money & perc's he would chase it. Thinking he had everything but just when everything was at it's peak he passes away from catching aids from one of the women he messed around with... Then it turns into a "short story" style describing my past and the path I chose which has lead to this point.

Lyrics

Life I Chose


Once upon a time, not long ago

There was a little boy that wanted dough

Fascinated by the fame, drugs & hoes

Imagining a better life that's not foreclosed

Infected by the Hype & the flashy clothes

He wanted money fast, so he sold some dro'

bagging up 20's as he worked on his flow

He had a master plan and it continued to grow, oh!

Graduated from weed and now fucks with blow, oh!

Stacking up c-notes, feeling untouchable

No longer hungry for using the microphone

Now he's living lavish, wildin' out & out of control

Thought he was a king but, little did he know

He caught the germ from a young heartless hoe

Now he's in his death bed and his life flash slow

infront of his eyes, Now he's laying down, both eyes closed OH!

cause it's the life you chose... anything else wouldn't be as it goes, so I suppose cause it's the life I chose
