| Check it out yo'
|
| Life… uh…
|
| Check it out yo'
|
| Verse One
|
| Yo, check it…
|
| When I hit thirty I thought my life would get a lot easier
|
| Accumulated knowledge from the world like Wikipedia
|
| I felt that I had learned enough to hardly make mistakes
|
| And move towards my future having minimal complaints
|
| But I was incorrect, because the struggle got real
|
| More money, more problems? |
| Less money, more bills
|
| And just like everyone else I had dreams
|
| Of owning properties and always traveling overseas
|
| And eating in the finest restaurants from London to Paris
|
| But then I stopped to ask myself what does this really mean?
|
| And is there something in between the lines that I am overlooking?
|
| Found that someone that was deep inside and now I overtook him
|
| See after many years of contemplation and reflection
|
| I figured out the most important thing was my connection
|
| To the people in my life and it began to make sense
|
| Cos' you can’t put a price on life experience… I said
|
| You can’t put a price on life experience
|
| You can’t put a price on life experience
|
| You can’t put a price on life experience
|
| I said you can’t put a price on life experience
|
| Verse Two
|
| When I hit forty, I found I had a lot more inner peace
|
| Thinking more about my words like it’s an after dinner speech
|
| And I accept that I don’t have to understand the universe
|
| And it can take time for difficulties to reverse
|
| And there’s nobody born with a bag of promises
|
| So life can start one way then finish opposite
|
| So it’s important that we get to know who we are
|
| So we can be prepared for seasons that are truly harsh
|
| They say a lot can be learned from hard times
|
| If you memorize and recall the lesson like hard drives
|
| I can do what everyone does that’s no sweat
|
| But I’ll probably only get what everybody gets
|
| So I don’t stand with the crowd for crowd sake
|
| Oblivious to everything, but feeling like now I’m safe
|
| That ain’t the case, ay' yo' 100 man, that doesn’t make sense
|
| Cos' you can’t put a price on life experience |
