The Life

Lyrics

[Chorus] I can't go on like this Knowing that I'm just gettin' by Can't go on like this Knowing that I'm just gettin' high Can't go on like this Knowing that I'm just gettin' by Can't go on like this Knowing that I'm just gettin' high [Verse 1] When I wake up around ten in the morning Feeling crazy, feeling haunted From the night before 'cause I was up 'til four in the morning plus some So I take long trip and then I take out my song scripts When I sit down to write I always look to God to help me see the light But I know, that I ain't been livin' right And I know, that I can't live by the night But it's so hard for me just to put it down So hard for me to pass up the crown When it's been passed down, I'm sitting on the throne And sometimes I feel in this world I've just been thrown in Not been showing it, and I don't know when to slow it down [Chorus] I can't go on like this Knowing that I'm just gettin' by Can't go on like this Knowing that I'm just gettin' high Can't go on like this Knowing that I'm just gettin' by Can't go on like this Knowing that I'm just gettin' high [Post-Chorus] But this is the life, life, the life, life, the life This is the life, life, the life, life, the life (Yeah) This is the life, life, the life, life, the life (Uh) They tell me it's the life, life, the life, life, the life [Verse 2] Once again, I hit the hot spot with my so-called friends Then I hit the ATM and then realize I ain't got no ends And then I call up my kin "Hey, my money's going" I'm standing at the bar but the drinks quit flowing Strapped for cash sitting on the block Drunk as hell tryna 'void the damn cops And this is how it is sometimes when you fall off track Like when your record's scratched and you try to run it back But sometimes the scratch got too deep an impact It makes it so hard for you not to look back Regretting things you did in the past I wake up in the mornin' tell myself it won't last But I tend to get another glass, then I Start to act just like an ass, but I [Chorus] I can't go on like this Knowing that I'm just gettin' by Can't go on like this Knowing that I'm just gettin' high Can't go on like this Knowing that I'm just gettin' by Can't go on like this Knowing that I'm just gettin' high [Post-Chorus] But this is the life, life, the life, life, the life This is the life, life, the life, life, the life (Yeah) They tell me it's the life, life, the life, life, the life (Ooh) They tell me it's the life, life, the life, life, the life [Chorus] I can't go on like this Knowing that I'm just gettin' by Can't go on like this Knowing that I'm just gettin' high [Post-Chorus] But this is the life, life, the life, life, the life (Yeah) This is the life, life, the life, life, the life (Yeah) This is the life, life, the life, life, the life This is the life, life, the life, life, the life [Chorus] I can't go on like this Knowing that I'm just gettin' by Can't go on like this Knowing that I'm just gettin' high Can't go on like this Knowing that I'm just gettin' by Can't go on like this Knowing that I'm just gettin' high [Outro] This is my life, my life They tell me this is the life, uh It's just the life Life, life
