VERSE 1
(THAT MANIAC ZACK)

Whether it's writin' our flows, recordin' or performin' at shows, nobody knows the effort that goes into makin' it dope,
And sacrifices, I'm broke, but I'm on the road wit my bros, leavin' my fam at home to struggle alone,
But I hope they know we're close to makin' it though, cuz I can feel it in my heart and my soul,
Patiently waiting' to blow, but we gotta get known, been doin' this all on our own,
Hustelin' CDs and clothes, posters and videos, no hopin' for miracles,
We gotta grind for a spot to get realized in hip hop, it's on my mind non-stop,
We're tryin' to climb to the top, strategize not to flop, and give it all that we got,
Doin' all that we can as we plot and plan to expand and gain fans,
But understand, it's hard to advance when you're not given a chance,
So we make our own path, hopin' it lasts, cuz music is our life, it's all that we have,

HOOK
(DEMO)

This music is my life, it's on my mind every night and day,
The effort it takes, sacrifices I'm makin',
Music is my life, I don't got the time to get away,
I'm steadily racin' for the dream that I'm chasin',
Music is my life,

VERSE 2
(BIG MO-BERG)

If you don't do it, you won't understand, constantly pushin' but never gettin' the upper hand,
Hours of writin', recordin' to make another jam, breakin' our backs just tryin' to catch another fan,
Today Bemidji, tomorrow we in the Motherland, another meetin' for schemin' to make another plan,
Independent got our hopes and our dreams but we broke cuz our dough's gotta go to the team,
Another show on the road for no green, and we go cuz we know our only hope's to be seen,
See everything we doin' has a price, and so a family life is what I sacrifice,
I'm on a race against time like a track meet, apologies if you gotta take a back seat,
My heart beats to the beat in the right time, you see this music is my lifeline,

HOOK
(DEMO)

This music is my life, it's on my mind every night and day,
The effort it takes, sacrifices I'm makin',
Music is my life, I don't got the time to get away,
I'm steadily racin' for the dream that I'm chasin',
Music is my life,

VERSE 3
(BABY SHEL)

I been telling y'all this music is my life, in my headphones bumpin' a beat, think what to write,
Get my lyrics down, vibe, get done, step to the mic,
These people do all feel and want the words i recite, right?
So i write hype lyrics, record those, memorize our tracks, we rehearsing before shows,
We got merch, CDs and T-shirts you could afford bro, tell em for sure bro,
Choppin' it up with our fans even after the door close, givin' daps for the support though,
We gon' support those who comin' out to fill the crowd up,
Who be banging' them mixtapes and turn it loud up,
I'm proud of anybody who listens to what I've written out, and actually feels all of these words comin' out my mouth,
This one's for the fans who use my music to get right i let em all know that,

This music is my life, it's on my mind every night and day,

Music is my life,
