Devin The Dude - Livin' This Life lyrics

(feat. Angela Williams) [Devin the Dude:] Life, they say it cuts like a knife I know you heard it all befo', the struggle and strife And all the stuff that we gripe, about like spoiled young children While reckless living, expecting to get up in heaven Devin is really no different, than the average Joe Some people think I'm rich and famous, living lavish but no Just when happiness comes, you got to grab it and go Life treasures'll pa** you up, if you paddling slow And just when you get up, you'll get knocked back down Wishing there was a way, to tick the clock back around But you can't, and you think of all the people you lost All the stuff that you had, it wasn't worth the cost Was it worth the blood, the sweat tears and pain And if you had a chance to do it again, would it be the same I just wish he'd forgive me, for my thoughts and sins Sometimes I feel like giving up, but no I'll never give in even though just when [Chorus: Angela Williams] Just when I thought I had the same, here comes the rain It's like the more things change, I hold and stay the same Living this life, ain't easy But I'ma keep on going, please be believe me [Devin the Dude:] d**h, that's when there's no breath left Inside a room in a cocoon, is where your feelings are kept And what's trapped is hateful, very distasteful Unfaithful, and just plain disgraceful Cause you pay for what you get, but it ain't too late to switch Your mind state either, that'll increase the crime rate The time it takes, to think about some negative thangs Is what's stopping you, from getting you to the heaven you gain So just chill, relax a lil' If you got it for somebody, and they ask then give Yep straight from the heart, and if they take advantage of it You gotta leave it up, to the man from up above It's kinda strange when it rains, it pours you look at yours And what's not, and take it back cause what somebody else got sh** gotta stop, gotta get your sh** together Be prepared and be ready for this weather, that's forever [Chorus] [Devin the Dude:] Time, seems like it doesn't rewind And you can't go back and change the sh**, but you can find That you can learn from the mistakes you made, life moves on Look at the problem, stop dwelling who's right who's wrong And who belongs who don't, who are we to judge And it really gotta mean something, if you want me to budge For a certain cause, sh** I wear my own draws Sometimes I'm lost, but I don't be crying to y'all Because you got to live yours, I got to live mine But we got to live together, who knows when it's going down Life is short, no need to speed through it No need to try to prove it, just cause he or she do it I fasten up my safety belt, get ready for the drive Cause it's one bumpy curvy a**, hell of a ride That's nonstop, and I can't get out Most importantly I can't give up or give in, even though just when [Chorus - 2x]
