We try to do right by the ones we love
We got one life and we ain't f*ckin' it up
Yeah we hold tight and we don't let up
And give 'em love
He's always striving for perfection
The other players he be vexing
His mind he's always testing
Studying to best present this idea to the masses
To those who register for classes
Or pinch to pay for them bus passes
Who passed the J in alleys past tense
Before legalization passed yet
Cannot pass this chance to reach another human
With a truth I learned with bruises
Do this. Say your piece composed to music
Create some beauty, yes I choose this
Grab the mic and step right to it
As the needle digs the grooves in
I came to see ya just the other day
Seems like nobody comes round here no more
Everyone's too busy minding our business
They're all ghost towns from shore to shore
We try to do right by the ones we love
We got one life and we ain't f*ckin' it up
Yeah we hold tight and we don't let up
And give 'em love
We've got time but it's never enough
So we keep on tryin', yeah we livin' it up
We go wrong sometimes but we just look up
And keep on and keep on and keep on and keep...
All I'm saying is the same shit
We all know inside our brains, yet
We so quickly just confuse it
When the feeling that we're losing sets in
All this news instilling fear into us humans
Where's the reset button?
What if life amounts to nothing?
Does it have to be a lesson?
What if we all just stopped pretending?
I came to see ya just the other day
Seems like nobody comes round here no more
Everyone's too busy minding our business
They're all ghost towns from shore to shore
We try to do right by the ones we love
We got one life and we ain't f*ckin' it up
Yeah we hold tight and we don't let up
And give 'em love
We've got time but it's never enough
So we keep on tryin', yeah we livin' it up
We go wrong sometimes but we just look up
And keep on and keep on and keep on and keep...
