Story behind the song

I wanted to express how life was treatin' me at the time... and still is treatin' me. An outlet for my feelings.

I got my sister to sing the chorus. much props.

Lyrics

I 
just wanna live my life
But some people won't let me and
I
just wanna be satified
But this damn life just gets me

Where I wanna be is somewhere else
Where I wanna be is not screamin' help and 
What I wanna do seems to far away
What I otta do is keep playin' the game
Now I just get caught up workin' the day shift
I wish I didn't have to do this lame shit hopin' I make it
out this fuckin' place that keeps me outta shape
Where 50 never ceases to check my licence plate
And Bills and rent and citations try to retane me
But this constant fear of no career is what gets to me mainly
I've been training, Instrumental beats, and lyrical arranging
DJing and Producing are definately not the same thing
And producing others beats is no where close to where I'm aiming
I'm maintaining, people are stingy and always about gaining 
I don't spin the record, I record what I spit
spin my shit, until the end of it, flip to side b, and continue it

Now my car broke down again today
Like it did last week on Wednesday
It all depends if I fix it before Friday
If I don't I'll have to hitch a ride to work right away
Now my dad's truck is broke down also
Why do you think our wallets are so hallow
I tried to get the peice a junk to run thursday
but it kept turnin' over, it was the most bunk worse day
Next day came, no rides I find I'm stuck
Late for work again and I DON't GIVe A FUCk
Now I'm callin' in, I feel like I'm lying to my Boss
My Honda don't wanta' start cause the timings off
Back fire is all you can hear out the exhaust
Now I'm scared that I'm gonna surely loose my job
Hopin' I'll get lucky and it'll start after I loosen this nob
or Maybe this whole damn life I'm choosen is wrong

Now other fools bragging about their BENJERMan's
While me and my dad tagteam just to pay rent
Now it's kinda hard livin' life month to month
Back then it never really used to hurt as much
But now that I get older, the world gets colder
Now I have no choice but to buckle up and be a soldier
In metaphorical terms, don't mix my words
Don't missunderstand what you just heard
Keepin' a Soldier on the streets, that's where I'm standin' at
I grow strong out of this ghetto ass habitat
Not even half this rap can explain a third of my pain
Maybe my pen is connected to the nerves of the words in my brain
And maybe others have it worse so I shouldn't complain
Take what I have, and hope and seek fame
I wanna be great, like Jordan, Ruth, and Gretski
Maybe I'm playin' the wrong game cause this life just gets me
