[Chorus: Nia & Brandon Carter]
Oh oh oh, we all tryna live
Live a little bit longer!
Oh oh oh, we all tryna live
We're not gettin' younger, we're just gettin' older
Oh oh oh, we all tryna live
While days get shorter, and the nights get longer
Yet, we just tryna live
[Verse 1: Brandon Carter]
One step, two steps
Then you're walkin', then you're talkin' and you look back
Now you're grown, on your own
Takin' all these loans, now you're in debt
Family-feuds, family-tithes, it's all the same vendetta
You'd rather skip to your bucket-list than your own agenda
We all live in question, this whole plot's been the dilemma
Either adapt or perish or you'll fade in the next era
Dodgin' hate bullets, put that vest to the test
I know what you've been through, I must pay my respects
Then you marry the love of your life that you eventually regret
You are paintin' your own mural into tiny vignettes
Life is art, you're the artist that creates the effects
What's the point of love, if you don't give what you get
I'm tellin' the story of life, know life can't be reset
Soon it'll be our time, and if your time is next
Pray for one last second, minute, hour, a final request
'Cause in the days, weeks, months, and years it might come to an end
Mabuhay, viveré, vivir, live
Au revoir, paalam, arrivederci, sayonara, goodbye
[Chorus: Nia & Brandon Carter]
Oh oh oh, we all tryna live
Live a little bit longer!
Oh oh oh, we all tryna live
We're not gettin' younger, we're just gettin' older
Oh oh oh, we all tryna live
While days get shorter, and the nights get longer
Yet, we just tryna live
[Verse 2: Brandon Carter]
Everybody's hopin', but not everybody's potent
Everybody's wantin', but nobody's even workin'
Everyone's a person, though some lack a purpose
Everybody's nearin', but don't even touch the surface
You'll learn you go to school, 'cause life is a test
I guess you've guessed enough to be guessing your guest
Music serves as my oxygen tank
Cut if off, you just have made a mistake
It's become ya friend and friend it's not what they think
See, you sit in a corner
Sure you come off as a loner
Ask why your friendship was over?
It just got closer and closer, stages up, out, and over
Could've started out slower, now she judges your persona
Told her you've changed, but you don't really show it
You'll back and soon you'll regret things
I am in bad traffic, stuck, can't pa** 'em
Any rapper can talk smack or have crap-of, lack that-of
But which one of them actually take action?
Usually you're naturally casually mastering something
Funny, I be judging, saying people don't chase their goals
But when it comes to me and mine, I always end up running away
Just gotta live, that's all it takes
There is some ups, downs, highs, lows, and different views
There is some wins, losses, goals I will pursue
Even though this album has been way overdue
Y'all don't realize he's still way over you!
He's a cement wall you ain't gon' break through
You can't complain about waitin' because he's waiting for you!
We've all said stuff in our lives that we prolly regret
Anything trends, you can be alive or be dead
But try not to let it get to you, after all I'm in your head
Just live for the moment
Live in the memories
All you got to do is live
[Chorus x2: Nia & Brandon Carter]
Oh oh oh, we all tryna live
Live a little bit longer!
Oh oh oh, we all tryna live
We're not gettin' younger, we're just gettin' older
Oh oh oh, we all tryna live
While days get shorter, and the nights get longer
Yet, we just tryna live
