Life Got in the Way - Emilio Rojas

And I wonder would my life be different if you never woulda taken yours

And I know that’s selfish but your memory’ll break my heart

I remember walkin' in your offices the day we met

And I played you songs and you said I’d be a great success

Shit, I ain’t make it yet, I wonder if you’re hearin' this

Ain’t work together long but maybe since you’re gone, you’re curious

I’m wonderin' if heaven got XM or a Sirius

And if you hear my interviews and know that I been killin' shit

And my career has been crazy, a lot of highs and lows

On the day we met, I said it’s finally my time to blow

My other manager trippin', he thought I’m gon' leave

He thought that my ambition was replacin' all my loyalty

On Thursday, we was textin', was supposed to link the next day

I woke up around 11 and washed up, got ready

I walked out of my crib and got a text from your assistant

She asked me to reschedule to Monday, I said I’m with it

Finished textin' and sat by my building a couple minutes

Then I walked into my crib and I logged into my Twitter

And my heart was beatin', hard to breathe, all I see is R-I-P

I was supposed to be with you the moment that they called police

When they found you bleedin' in your yard, musta been hard to see

You in heaven now but would you ever make a star of me?

Man, I can’t help but wonder, what would happen if they never put you under?

Rest in peace

Life got in the way, life got in the way of a lot of things man

That’s okay, it’s a part of my story, every struggle

Every struggle was a lesson, every lesson is a blessing, you feel me?

Like, without all these trials and tribulations

Without god testin' me like this, I would not be the person that I am today

I wouldn’t have these stories, I wouldn’t have this music

I wouldn’t have this gift to share with anybody

So every time I’ve ever had to overcome something, it’s been motivation

That’s really what it is, this isn’t a story about roadblocks

This is a story about findin' motivation in the hardships

And letting that compel you to be great, you know?

I’m blessed, I’m in the best situation of my life

There are so many things to look forward to

I never felt better, I feel so blessed, I feel so blessed
