| Life’s not what you take
|
| It’s not about the promises you make
|
| It’s not about the friends you might have made
|
| Or love that is gone
|
| Life is what you give
|
| It’s not about the stupid things you did
|
| It’s not about the way things could have been
|
| It’s about moving on
|
| It’s all about you
|
| So every morning when you wake before the first step that you take
|
| Just think it’s all what you make it and you’ll make it through
|
| Yeah
|
| This life will leave you stressed out, left out, with your neck out
|
| Ain’t nothing changed
|
| It’s real life, so we deal right, but it feels like
|
| It’s something strange
|
| Wondering, the dumbest things and let everything
|
| Get under our skin
|
| Trouble again, trying to impress, somebody else
|
| Is tough on the head
|
| So do you, you’ll never make everyone happy
|
| It just won’t happen
|
| At the end of the day, when all say is said
|
| You better be ready to go back at em
|
| I learned slow, my verse shows
|
| My growth, my wisdom
|
| If you positive or negative
|
| It don’t make a difference
|
| Not when you living
|
| Cause some of the most successful people on this planet
|
| Will end themselves, or somebody else
|
| Life they really couldn’t manage
|
| Then we got some alcoholics on the streets
|
| With no stress, nowhere to rest, nowhere to dress
|
| Nowhere to sleep
|
| And they said
|
| Fuck my morals
|
| I’m drinking away my sorrows
|
| I’m living life and I’m happy
|
| I ain’t thinking about tomorrow
|
| Do you
|
| It’s all about you
|
| So every morning when you wake before the first step that you take
|
| Just think it’s all what you make it and you’ll make it through
|
| It’s all about you
|
| So every morning when you wake before the first step that you take
|
| Just think it’s all what you make it and you’ll make it through
|
| Life is what it brings
|
| It’s not about cars and fancy things
|
| Or hair salons or diamond rings girl
|
| So don’t you lose no sleep
|
| Life is all about
|
| The things you’ll never figure out
|
| It’s all about the people you allow and
|
| Memories you keep
|
| Yeah
|
| I guess this is life
|
| So tell me, who chooses what’s wrong and right
|
| Is it what we see, on TV, get a job, raise a family
|
| That’s how I was raised
|
| It’s how I was brought up
|
| Get a wife, a son and a daughter
|
| That’s how I was taught to be proper
|
| Never thought anyone could get caught up
|
| Then slowly I grew up
|
| And the fairy tale quickly vanished
|
| Realized that life is a bitch
|
| And kids you gotta be able to stand it
|
| And you gotta be able to handle it
|
| The stress and the pressure, you channel it
|
| And you learn to cope, at the end of your rope
|
| Anyway that you can, with liquor or dope
|
| Or work hard; |
| raise your kids, strip clubs
|
| Whatever it is
|
| Smoke your weed, shoot hoops
|
| Whatever you find your happiness through
|
| It’s your life
|
| Just make sure you know what you want when you go in get it
|
| Keep doing this shit for you, not your crew or the dude you trying to impress
|
| kid
|
| Life is simple, life is hard, but yeah life is fun
|
| So enjoy the things around you
|
| Before your life is done
|
| And do you
|
| It’s all about you
|
| So every morning when you wake before the first step that you take
|
| Just think it’s all what you make it and you’ll make it through
|
| It’s all about you
|
| So every morning when you wake before the first step that you take
|
| Just think it’s all what you make it and you’ll make it through
|
| Ooh |
