Styles, Pharoahe Monch - The Life

[@mafiagang20]

I’ll never forget years ago sitting in rehab with my man Harvey from Wilmington DE..we sung this hook and recited styles verse all day it helped get us through ..oh yeah today I’m sober ..cuz MY LIFE is all I have..

[@stellaroze]

Felt that. Using this song for my young men's group as a discussion point. I want them to start thinking about their life and their story. This song is powerful. Congrats and blessings for getting sober. May God keep you.
