Lido, Yosef Wolde-Mariam, Timbuktu - Turn Up The Life Text (lyrics)

Now I’ve been trying to relieve all
Of this tension and I’m
Spending hours trynna change my
Comprehension of time
So I cop another G-shock, but it don’t work
Coz I’m trynna outrun the sun, so I
Don’t really see it a lot, but I’m good
Round of applause, handshakes all around
And I’m breaking it down like what you
Really think is making the sound
We pulling strings, pizzicato
Turning tables with Timbuktu like DJ Amato
We living life so rubato
What you mean there’s no LidoLido
In your damn Serato?
You need to put some there, excuse me
I'mma grab me a day now
They all about my present, like give
It away, give it away, give it away now
I'm sorry, girl, I wasn’t thinking straight
Of course I want to ventilate and


Get up on your dinnerplate
Now let me demonstrate
When my phone stop buzzing I'mma call you
Even though I know that I told you to

Slow down, we should think this through
I can’t blow my cool messing around with you
But that was yesterday, yesterday
And girl I feel like saying yes today
Yes today

I love it when the sun come up
I love it when the sun go down
I love it when the sun go down
I love it when the sun come up
I love it when the sun go down
So turn up the life, baby, turn up the life

I’m saying no to regrets and
Yes to the chance, baby
Give me your hand
Let's step to the dance and
Yes like we triple winning
Yes like we get the million
Stress exchanged for freshness
You get the feeling
Flowing through my arteries
Catching every detail
How we try and we fail and retry and prevail
I used to sit around and
Dream of making it big
Like some magic door would appear and
Just change how I live
And one thing turn to the other
And the other to the next
Like a rumor or a tumor I
Can feel in my chest
And I didn’t really know how
Things were gonna turn
Didn’t really think but since
Then I’ve learned to enjoy every minute
Not get stuck in the future or get
Caught in illusions, big plans and confusions
So now I’m just clapping my
Hands saying "Let's do this"
LidoLido, all my people, we got one shot
Ain’t no sequel
All I’m trynna say today is I
Don’t think we need to


We living, we trying, we sinking, but man
You know we swimming, we dive in
Lets get it again
We feeling, we fighting, we thinking again
Baby, we living, so turn up the life, baby
Turn up the life

Though we rolling on
I need a break so slow down someone
Thought we riding high
The air is thin so I’m coming down
But only for a while
I need to punch out before the light goes
(psh)
Coz every time I get up out the door my
Boss got my balls in a tight hold
It’s like we need to get a
Little on the good foot
(right) need a break sometimes
You know I’m on the grind every day right
(yup) I’m making moms proud
I'mma piss in a cup
What’s up LidoLido, put your weight down
Get your real face on, put the fake down
Need to reach for the sky, why you stay down
It’s a game, but the homie don’t play, but
Even the beat need a
Break sometimes, I’m proud
Make it clap for me
Even the beat need a break sometimes
So now let the guitar roll
Even the beat need a break sometimes
So now let the keys flow
Even the beat need a break sometimes
So now make it stop, okay
Feel it running up and down like a
Tingle in your spine
Knowing everything’s good, yeah
So we flowing on the clock
Coz the feeling got us hot like
We knew that it would be
See us running by the miles
Hop on a marathon, jump to the side
Fuck what you need to do, go for the smile
We all need to breathe so you need to just


Hey hey yo mama don’t know
You just go’n go where you go’n go
Hey hey yo papa don’t know
, you just go’n go where you go’n go
Hey hey yo teacher don’t know
You just go’n go where you go’n go
Hey hey yo baby don’t know
You just go’n go where you go’n go slow down
