Life's Lessons

The Game ft. Lil Wayne- My Life



I originally felt like I couldn't relate to this song at all because where I come from is the complete opposite of the depictions in this video...but when I reflect on the lyrics, there are many things that don't apply to me but the lyrics paint a vivid picture of what it's like in their shoes. In reference to the chorus- And I'm grindin' until I'm tired/ And you ain't grindin' until you die/ So I'm grinding with my eyes wide/ Looking to find/ A way through the day/ The life of the night/ Dear Lord you've took so many of my people/ I'm just wondering why you haven't taken my life/ Like what the hell am I doing right?

When you think about it, most of us have had people we are close to or know pass away and it makes us realize how easily that could of been us. You may even wonder why you are here instead of them. It puts things into perspective and helps us appreciate life. We all experience the trials and tribulations life presents. But whether you're living what's portrayed in this video or you are living the "good life" in the Hollywood Hills, you have life and life is what you make it. I'm rambling...that's just me trying to be deep, but I don't know that's what I got out of it...Let me know what you think.
