Devin The Dude - Livin' This Life lyrics
[Devin The Dude - Livin' This Life lyrics]
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
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
