Song Lyrics
[Chorus: Lil Wayne]
And I'm grindin until I'm tired
Cause they said you ain't grindin until you tired
So I'm grindin with my eyes wide, lookin to find
A way through the day, a life for the night
Dear Lord you done took so many of my people
I'm just wonderin why you haven't taken my life (my life, my life)
Like what the hell am I doin right? (doin right)
My life (my life, my life)
[The Game] + (Lil Wayne)
Take me away from the hood, like a state penitentiary
Take me away from the hood, in a casket or a Bentley
Take me away, like I overdosed on cocaine
Or take me away, like a bullet from Kurt Cobain
Suicide, I'm from a Windy City, like Do or Die
From a block close to where Biggie was crucified
That was Brooklyn's Jesus, shot for no reason
And you wonder why Kanye wears Jesus pieces (my life, my life)
Cause that's Jesus people, and Game, he's the equal
Hated on some much Passion that Christ need a sequel
Yeah, like Roc-a-Fella need a Sigel
Like I needed my father, but he needed a needle (my life, my life)
I need some meditation, so I can lead my people
They askin why, why did John Lennon leave The Beatles?
And why every hoods feed off evil?
Answer my question 'fore this bullet leave this Desert Eagle
[Chorus]
[The Game] + (Lil Wayne)
We are not the same, I am a Martian
So approach my Phantom doors with caution
You see them 24's spinnin? I earned 'em
And all the pictures of me and Em, I burned 'em
So it ain't no proof, that I ever walked through 8 Mile
And since it ain't no Proof, I'll never walk through 8 Mile
Sometimes I think about my life, with my face down
Then I see my sons and put on that Kanye smile (my life, my life)
Damn, I know his momma proud
And since you helped me sell my Dream we can share my momma now
And like M.J.B., No More Drama now
Livin the Good Life, me and Common on common ground
I spit crack, and people could drop it out of town
Got a Cris', call my estate, I'm never out of bounds
My life used to be empty like a glock without a round
Now my life full, like a chopper with a thousand rounds
[Chorus]
[Lil Wayne]
My life (my life, my life)
My life (my life, my life)
My life (my life, my life)
And I'm grindin until I'm tired
Cause they said you ain't grindin until you tired
So I'm grindin with my eyes wide, lookin to find
A way through the day, a life for the night
Dear Lord you done took so many of my people
I'm just wonderin why you haven't taken my life (my life, my life)
Like what the hell am I doin right? (doin right)
My life (my life, my life)
[The Game] + (Lil Wayne)
Take me away from the hood, like a state penitentiary
Take me away from the hood, in a casket or a Bentley
Take me away, like I overdosed on cocaine

Ideas For The Video
- Location: Cemetery, Top of Buildings and Urban Streets of Hulme in Manchester.
- Narrative: The initial narrative of the video will be showing a group of boys getting chased by a drug dealer, however one of them eventually is captured, ending the video in a brutal way.
Ideas For Magazine & CD Pack Design
- Magazine: Alonzo (The Game) leaning against the wall, closest to the camera, whilst Mohammed (Lil Wayne) is standing far in the background yet still visible. At the top of the page it will say the name of the magazine and towards the bottom there will be a paragraph about the song & about the performers.
- CD Cover: The first idea we came up with is the two main performers are stood beside a grave stone looking up, pleading for an answer to get out this life. On this cover the two performers will be in colour, everything else in the picture will be in black and white.
- The second idea we came up with
