The thought provoking yet heartfelt track is composed of melodies originating from old-school Soul infused with classic East Coast Rap . Illy Ali prides himself on being an individual in an industry full of carbon copies. He did not follow the standard industry blueprint when creating 4Lyfe. Instead it was crafted together as a unique piece of art. "4Lyfe" is the culmination of two songs that are abstractly condensed into one. It explores both a love that last a lifetime and the over-glorification of thug life in one song.
