On 777 Lyfe did find inspiration from a youthful sound, but as far as the lyrics fans can expect the same openness that helped him get on in the first place. I think I’m built for it so that’s just what it is.” I don’t really want people in my business like that. “Through the highs and lows of my career it’s just been me. I’m just that kinda dude that I’ll just go handle it myself and just be like ‘wait right here I’ll be right back,” said Lyfe. Like, if I had to have a major operation wouldn’t nobody know. “I wouldn’t even tell my mother if something was wrong. “We didn’t ever have no insurance growing up, so me being able to do that was special.”ĭespite the vulnerability displayed in his music, Lyfe has always aimed to be self-sufficient even when times are hard. That might sound like something small but for me it was huge cause I just feel like if anything ever happened to them I’ll be able to take care of them,” Lyfe noted.

I used to let my emotions get the best of me. “Before when I didn’t have kids I was kind of hotheaded. Today, with his kids playing an integral role in his day-to-day, the 41-year-old singer has once again proclaimed his retirement but this time he’s doing it in a place of peace thanks to primary job as daddy. Lyfe, still finding catharsis in the notes, released two more albums, Lucid (2013) and Tree Of Lyfe (2015).
