Verse 1:
They say I can’t handle it
Who do you think I am, an idiot?
Imma do my very very best
To handle all the stress
This constant writing of songs
Man it isn’t too hard unless you do it wrong
You just have to know that I don’t do it for myself
Cause if it was then into the pit I would delve
Yeah headfirst into the evil selfishness
But you know I am above this
I write these songs for you
Written about my life so you can know me through and through
So you can know my ins and outs
My troubles and my doubts
So you can pull me up when I need you help
Now let me help you up so this comradeship can be felt
Chorus:
This here is my life story
Criticize if you want, but all I can do is say sorry
I write about my past
So let this music last
Let it stand as a legacy for all generations
That no matter where you are you just have to have patience
God will put you where you need to be
And pretty soon his plan you will see
Verse 2:
I could never see myself as a lyricist
But here I am doing this
I’m writing lyrics for the whole world to see
And I do it cause this is who I want to be
This here’s a message to the weak to the hopeless
The poor and the needy, I have to let them know this
That while you can’t change the past, you can make your life better
All that you have to do is follow the king who let me write this letter
He will give you that life you always wanted
And take away the power that the world has always flaunted
While the world would try to keep you down
He would reach out his hand and pick you up from the ground
He will pull you to your feet
And make your life meaningful and complete
It is better than the world could perceive
And all you have to do is believe
Chorus:
This here is my life story
Criticize if you want, but all I can do is say sorry
I write about my past
So let this music last
Let it stand as a legacy for all generations
That no matter where you are you just have to have patience
God will put you where you need to be
And pretty soon his plan you will see
Verse 3:
So what do you want your legacy to be?
Do you want to be a jerk for the whole world to see
Or do you want to set an example for all the children
And leave a legacy to bless them
So they can look to your example with they’re lost or in need
And see how you lived a life for your King without greed
And say, “I wanna be like him and let his legacy live on. ”
Man that is the reason that I’m writing this song
So that you can live life with a purpose
And future generations can know this
That the God that I believe in is my King and he gave me this ability to sing
So I can leave a legacy worth leaving
And through my legacy in him be believing
Chorus:
This here is my life story
Criticize if you want, but all I can do is say sorry
I write about my past
So let this music last
Let it stand as a legacy for all generations
That no matter where you are you just have to have patience
God will put you where you need to be
And pretty soon his plan you will see
