We All Gotta Live

lyrics

Bad Man. And this is the real (the real)

Yo, life is more than growing up as simple as it might seem and in the sewers of the world I’m excavating pipe dreams climbing never ending slopes/ this life is not a joke the broke kids are pitching dope the rich kids are sniffing coke (damn)/ the road of life’s congested but it’s driving they suggest/ only see from one perspective so they're blinded to the rest/ and I’m striving to be best/ life’s a complicated test damn/ everyday hustle we’re all grinding like the next man/ time is of the essence that’s a valuable lesson/ cuz you never know your ending ‘til that time becomes the present/ you set your own limits man and no one’s living twice so instead of fleeing death you should be chasing after life/ some people love to tell you that you’re never gonna make it people try and people fail/ many lack determination but I’ve got a blind date with a lady called success and I’ve heard she’s kind of pretty but she’s playing hard to get.

CHORUS (x2)

We all gotta hustle
We all gotta give
We all gotta struggle
We all gotta live

To be known as an achiever never split at the seams see I was born to be a leader but I follow my dreams/ now I’m hearing people dissing some don’t want me to shine/ in their life there’s something missing so they’re worried ‘bout mine/ so I tell you people listen you can wish against my vision while you live with inhibitions I’ll just glisten like a prism/ the Lord’s my source of light so it’s right to give a mention/ cuz if you think I’m bright then you’re just seeing a reflection/ but I’m not really trying to get religious on you cats cuz I know you simply worshipping the digits coming back/ that love’s the root of evil but it keeps the globe’s motion that’s the truth if money feeble life is moving slow motion/ cuz I know my people and I know they people/ it’s hard to get a helping hand unless you pay people/ sometimes I love people sometimes I hate people/ and some I just don’t understand cuz some are fake people

CHORUS (x2)

Yo, you know what I’m trying to say is that every day is like a hustle/ whether it’s using your mind or using your muscle/ we each a little piece of the puzzle get in where you fit in stay out of trouble/ nine to five or playing live/ people selling drugs ladies selling love/ people wearing suits or second hand boots/ whether you’re neat or in the street/ and it really doesn’t matter what colour you are/ you can be Asian, Oriental, Black, Caucasian/ it’s not about segregation it’s unification cuz to me the globe is basically a single nation/ we have a lot more in common than we have that separates us/ so when we fight each other really we’re just fighting against us/ you feel me? Check it out yo. (Bad Man)

CHORUS (x2)

Check it out yo, yo (chyeeea!) This ain’t simple black and white no one’s really black or white that’s a basic fact of life but ain’t no colour acting right (nah)/ so don’t believe the hype because the media ain’t bright (no)/ and just because they write don’t mean the type is really right (no)/ see race is not a factor we all need the same love whether see or main thug we all bleed the same blood/ what makes a man decide to strap a bomb to his chest? /the same pain that makes a girl confide in drugs to her death (damn)/ I know it’s like the hardest to be patient with yourself but you don’t wanna hit the targets if your aiming at yourself/ no suicidal tendencies being what you’re meant to be/ try to make us products but these words are complimentary so I’ma keep giving (yeah)/ and I’ma keep living (yeah)/ flooded where we standing but we gotta keep swimming see you’re smiling on the outside but inside you’re frowning/ you gotta keep your head up cuz inside you're drowning.
