Big Sean - My Life / Happiness Lyrics

Aye, aye

I been overdue for a long vacation
Tryna listen what my heart's been saying
But it gets lost in a lot of translation
I get lost in a lot of temptation
I space out in mid-conversation
Gotta pay attention to decisions I been making
It's ulterior motives in every situation
And a lot of fake hoes that lead to real complications

Off the drink on occasion, pop it on occasion
Only thing that every day's a special occasion
Focused, I been leading on my operations
Moving like a doctor, God blessed me with the patience

But if you think you know me, just know that you don't know me
'Cause if you knew the old me, just know that ain't the same
If I called you lame, know, bitch, you still lame
Really I don't even care, that show how far a nigga came
Aye, lifestyle, baby

I been living my life, my life, my life, my life
Only if it feel right
Only if it feel right
Aye, aye
I been living my life, my life, my life, my life
Only if it feel right

Had to boss, aye
Had to boss up the physique, man, they was on my ass
Had to get up on my feet
Playing games with me, now we on a winning streak
They was playing games with me, and now we on a winning-
Bitch, aye
Lifestyle, baby

I been living my life, my life, my life, my life
Only if it feel right
On some till I-
On some till I die shit (aye)
On some till I die (aye, yeah)

B.i.g, but they forever tryna troll me
I used to let the things I can't control, control me
Things I could let go of used to have a hold on me
F*ck I look like tellin' someone what they supposed to think?
Or how they supposed to feel, or who they supposed to be?
Or tryna convince someone they should think the most of me?
Ain't no point in being frustrated
Used to trust what they said, but the trust faded

But if you think you know me, just know that you don't know me
But if you knew the old me, just know that ain't the same
To everyone who hurt me, know I made it through the pain
All you did was remind me how far a nigga came
Aye, aye lifestyle, baby

I been living my life, my life, my life, my life
Only if it feel right
Only if it feel right
Aye, aye
I been living my life, my life, my life, my life
Only if it feel right

Had to boss, aye
Had to boss up the physique, man, they was on my ass
Had to get up on my feet
Playing games with me, now we on a winning streak
They was playing games with me, and now we on a winning-
Bitch, aye
Lifestyle, baby

I been living my life, my life, my life, my life
Only if it feel right
On some till I-
On some till I die shit (aye)
On some till I die (aye, yeah)

Ladies and gentlemen, tonight's guest is one of my personal favorites
A Detroit icon, put your hands together and make some noise for Big Sean
What's up, man? (Yo)
What's up? (Yeah)
Haha (what up, man?)
You look happy, dude, you look happy
Tell me about it, what's goin' on?
I mean, yeah, I am happy, for sure
You know, we all got a lot to be happy about bro, is what I realized
You know, we all goin' through the craziness of life
The ups and downs, but it's always something to be grateful for, at least
And, um, I guess one of the lessons that I learned up to this point is
To move on your own time as much as you can, you know
Of course we got families, jobs and circumstances
But, when things don't work out when you want it to it may just not be the right time
And instead of wastin' time tryna force somethin'
You could be enjoyin' all the moments that we take for granted, so
I've been tryin' to like, live in my happiness more, live in the moment
You know, instead of always thinkin' about, okay, what I gotta do next week, what I gotta do later on, what I gotta do, like
Man, there's a lot to be happy about right now
And, um, just live in that, live in that as long as you can
'Cause, before you know it, that pressure is right back on you
