Life's not what you take
It's not about the promises you make
It's not about the friends you might've made
Or love that is gone
It's not about the promises you make
It's not about the friends you might've made
Or love that is gone
Life is what you give
It's not about the stupid things you did
It's not about the way things could've been
It's about movin' on
It's not about the stupid things you did
It's not about the way things could've been
It's about movin' on
It's all about you
So every morning when you wake, before the first step that you take
Just think it's not what you make it
And you'll make it through
So every morning when you wake, before the first step that you take
Just think it's not what you make it
And you'll make it through
This life will leave you stressed out, left out with your neck out, ain't nothing changed
It's real life so we deal right but it feels like it's something strange.
We wonderin' the dumbest things and let everything get under our skin
Trouble again, tryin' to impress someone else. It's fucked in the head.
So do you, you'll never make everyone happy. It just won't happen.
At the end of day, when all say is said, you better be ready to go back at'em.
I learn slow, my verse shows my growth, my wisdom.
If you positive, or you negative, it don't make a difference not when you live it.
Cause some of the most successful people on this planet
Will kill themselves for somebody else's like they really couldnt manage.
Then we got bums, alcoholics on the streets
With no stress, no where to rest, no where to dress, no where to sleep.
And they say fuck my morals. I'm drinkin' away my sorrows.
I'm livin' life and I'm happy, I ain't thinking about tomorrow.
