Joell Ortiz – Music Saved My Life lyrics

Early when I knew I was defend
Hold the ice cream truck beyond my mamas hand
So wanna turn it up in the dollar van
No one walk better in pajamas pants
I use once to tran a track like graning behind
Lean on me, worth it all I knew every line
My moms blessing, I needed a baker
No one that I could take em with a piece of paper
Yeah looking back daddy left
On the school yeah music was my escape
I was raise by Stevie Wanda
Line with Rich and all his brothers
Use to close my eyes and see far away
On the harder days I was chopping up with Marvin Gate
It was just a manner of time
I took a crime and a

So when I felt I do wrong you help me getting right
So when I felt I'm giving up
You get me one more try
And when I felt that it was over
You didn't let me die
No, you didn't let me die
Music saved my life

So many different artist I can see now
Still I'm on with the pie til I'm all drunk
Imma have all noise on the street where we are from
Rest in peace but

Rap away catch all against the rap
I grow up in a when there was no
It was the world that I was always angry at a maniac
Full of rage with nowhere to aim at that
Came up in the hood but everybody was there get the best they could
I do my best to pay em back
I'm paying back boy let me pay you back
With no fashion just get brush and fade it all
If you could do it more better you rock it huge in the sweater
All we knew is the hustle, we never know no better
Getting calm is the fraze every one working til late
We thought it was forever how knew it was just a faze
Was it and never could it let teaching
This a miracle I can call in the streets man
If it wasn't for hip hip I wouldn't breathing

So when I felt I do wrong you help me getting right
So when I felt I'm giving up
You get me one more try
And when I felt that it was over
You didn't let me die
No, you didn't let me die
Music saved my life
So many different artist I can see now
Still I'm on with the pie til I'm all drunk
Imma have all noise on the street where we are from
Rest in peace but

Somebody pinch me, this can't be life
All these big camera and fancy life
Man this must be a mistake
Just yesterday my mama cut the cake
On my ten birthday she tell me to make a wish
Here I am now surreding by all of this
Man what a crazy life music
You really save my life

So when I felt I do wrong you help me getting right
So when I felt I'm giving up
You get me one more try
And when I felt that it was over
You didn't let me die
No, you didn't let me die
Music saved my life
So many different artist I can see now
Still I'm on with the pie til I'm all drunk
Imma have all noise on the street where we are from
Rest in peace but
