Livin' This Life

Life, they say it cuts like a knife

I know you heard it all befo', the struggle and strife

And all the stuff that we gripe, about like spoiled young children

While reckless living, expecting to get up in heaven

Devin is really no different, than the average Joe

Some people think I'm rich and famous, living lavish but no

Just when happiness comes, you got to grab it and go

Life treasures'll pass you up, if you paddling slow

And just when you get up, you'll get knocked back down

Wishing there was a way, to tick the clock back around

But you can't, and you think of all the people you lost

All the stuff that you had, it wasn't worth the cost

Was it worth the blood, the sweat tears and pain

And if you had a chance to do it again, would it be the same

I just wish he'd forgive me, for my thoughts and sins

Sometimes I feel like giving up, but no I'll never give in even though just when

Just when I thought I had the same, here comes the rain

It's like the more things change, I hold and stay the same

Living this life, ain't easy

But I'ma keep on going, please be believe me

Death, that's when there's no breath left

Inside a room in a cocoon, is where your feelings are kept

And what's trapped is hateful, very distasteful

Unfaithful, and just plain disgraceful

Cause you pay for what you get, but it ain't too late to switch

Your mind state either, that'll increase the crime rate

The time it takes, to think about some negative thangs

Is what's stopping you, from getting you to the heaven you gain

So just chill, relax a lil'

If you got it for somebody, and they ask then give

Yep straight from the heart, and if they take advantage of it

You gotta leave it up, to the man from up above

It's kinda strange when it rains, it pours you look at yours

And what's not, and take it back cause what somebody else got

Shit gotta stop, gotta get your shit together

Be prepared and be ready for this weather, that's forever

Time, seems like it doesn't rewind

And you can't go back and change the shit, but you can find

That you can learn from the mistakes you made, life moves on

Look at the problem, stop dwelling who's right who's wrong

And who belongs who don't, who are we to judge

And it really gotta mean something, if you want me to budge

For a certain cause, shit I wear my own draws

Sometimes I'm lost, but I don't be crying to y'all

Because you got to live yours, I got to live mine

But we got to live together, who knows when it's going down

Life is short, no need to speed through it

No need to try to prove it, just cause he or she do it

I fasten up my safety belt, get ready for the drive

Cause it's one bumpy curvy ass, hell of a ride

That's nonstop, and I can't get out

Most importantly I can't give up or give in, even though just when

[Chorus - 2x]
