Royce da 5'9", Amerie - Life lyrics

Come here, Royce

Life is a moment in space (come over here)
When the dream is gone
(sit down, let me talk to you)
It's a lonelier place (right here, over here)
Uh, this is life life is a moment in space
(sit on daddy's lap) when the dream is gone
(I want to tell you something)
It's a lonelier place

Listen, yo little Royce Nickel Nine
Eyes wide with sight
With a future as bright as the
Light in the eyes of Christ
Ready to take on the world
And whatever is in it
Proofread, sign, and seal whatever you finish
I can only lead you while you're
On your quest for knowledge
I'ma teach you to have sense
And to respect the dollar
Hope for the best, and you'll see
Your world will be solid
I'ma teach you the truth
Even behind worldly logic
This is life, cut and dry, days is bright
Nights is dark fights get sparked
It's almost like to get ahead
You got to be twice as smart
The realities of life is harsh
Just know that God's keeping you level
He'll even speak through the
Ghetto to reach you
Just to teach you that the
Streets is the devil
Everybody's design is different
Which means that we're dying by livin'
Oblivious to the time that we're given
So you don't prepare for the death
You live for the life and live right like
Do right by your kids and your wife
Have fun as a child
Yo them years is precious
The future brings fear and stress
As the year progresses
You gon turn a lot of them down
You gon feel rejection
You gon tell a lot of lies
And you gon hear confessions
It's a two way street when
You deal in his presence
Only your life can show that everything
Is real in this message this is life

Life is a moment in space
When the dream is gone it's a lonelier place
Uh, this is life life is a moment in space
When the dream is gone it's a lonelier place

Yo, the whole world is upon you
The pressure is on
And you can probably sum your life
Up the best when you gone
Upon the creation of all men, destiny's born
For us to reproduce
So you can keep the legacy goin'
I know you think I'm Superman
But I got weaknesses too
I keep a firm leash on
Things by believing in you
And after I'm gone I live
On breathing through you
And anything I had in this life
I leave it to you aim for the sky and fly
Till you come back down
I hand you the baton and you run
Till you come back 'round
Let your heart tell your temper
"Put that gun back down!"
Dry your tears up and turn
That frown upside down
It'd be plenty to cry for, think life
Not death
You got much more to live for than to die for
But you got to stay humble
'Cause just as hard as your work to get it
There's people working harder to
Take it from you 'Cause life
Something that people take for granted
As time passes, you gon' want something back
But you won't get it 'cause
History's made every second
So you crave every lesson
And save every blessin'
No matter how you view the world, yo
You never will get it
The world'll be the world through the
Eyes of whoever is in it
But things ain't gon' always go right
Look at it like, yo, this ain't
Your day, but this your life, and live
Life

Life is a moment in space
When the dream is gone it's a lonelier place
Uh, this is life life is a moment in space
When the dream is gone it's a lonelier place

Yo there will be trials and tribulations
But don't let them, don't let them
Don't let them bring you down
I said you better keep
Going to your destination
After your darkest hour the
Sun will come around, oh oh oh ohhh
Yeah oh no, no, don't look away-y-y-y-y-y
Oh, no no no no no no no no this is life
Ayy, ayy, uh uh uh uh uh uh yo I don't care
I don't care if this song don't sell one copy
That's not even what it's for
It's for you, my boy this is life
You gotta keep going on
You gotta keep moving on
Be strong, be strong, be strong, yeah
'Cause this is life this is life
