[Intro – Laid-Back Rap] Yeah... Funny thing about life... You finally get one thing right, Then something else goes wrong. So you roll another one, Turn the music up, And keep going. [Verse 1 – Modern Rap] I woke up with a plan, by noon it went sideways, Started with a good mood, ended up in a migraine, Bills on the counter, dreams on the nightstand, Trying to build a future with a broke-ass game plan. I got things I wanna do, places I wanna see, But every little dollar got somewhere else to be, I keep checking off goals just to write down three more, Life got me running laps around the same damn floor. So I spark one up, let the smoke hit the ceiling, For a couple minutes I can forget how I'm feeling, Laugh at some stupid shit, let the whole world fade, Then the smoke clears out and the problems still wait. [Pre-Chorus – Melodic] And I don't know what tomorrow's gonna bring, Could be sunshine, could be anything, I just know I've made it through before, So I guess I'll see what life has in store. [Chorus – Emotional / Catchy] I just wanna breathe for a minute, Put the whole damn world outside, I've been running from tomorrow While I'm trying to survive tonight. If I'm being honest, I'm tired, But I still got something left inside, So I'll laugh when I can, cry when I need to, And keep on living this crazy life. I don't know where I'm going, I just know I gotta keep moving. Maybe that's all this life is— Losing, loving, learning, choosing. [Verse 2 – Upbeat Rap] I've had good days where I couldn't stop smiling, Bad days where I questioned every choice that I'm making, People that I trusted turned into strangers, People I barely knew became lifesavers. I've watched some dreams fade right in front of my eyes, Had to let go of things I swore would last for life, Got regrets in my pocket and memories in my head, And a whole lotta things I wish I would've said. But there's still Friday nights with the people I know, Still music in the car when I'm driving home, Still laughing at nothing till we're crying from it, Still waking up thinking maybe I'll finally run it. Then life throws another obstacle into the lane, Another goal, another bill, another thing to explain, And I sit back like, "Damn, here we go again," Take a hit, shake my head, then I do it again. [Pre-Chorus – Melodic] And I don't know what tomorrow's gonna bring, Could be sunshine, could be anything, I just know I've made it through before, So I guess I'll see what life has in store. [Chorus – Emotional / Catchy] I just wanna breathe for a minute, Put the whole damn world outside, I've been running from tomorrow While I'm trying to survive tonight. If I'm being honest, I'm tired, But I still got something left inside, So I'll laugh when I can, cry when I need to, And keep on living this crazy life. I don't know where I'm going, I just know I gotta keep moving. Maybe that's all this life is— Losing, loving, learning, choosing. [Bridge – Emotional / Sung] Somewhere between the highs and lows, I think I'm starting to understand, Life ain't about controlling everything, It's just learning how to dance with what you have. I don't need a perfect ending, I don't need to know the plan, If I can find a little peace tonight, Maybe tomorrow I'll try again. [Verse 3 – Faster Rap] So here's to the people still figuring it out, Still chasing those dreams while they're drowning in doubt, Still saying "I'm good" when they're really stressed, Still giving everything while they got nothing left. Here's to the mornings we don't wanna wake, The choices we regret and the chances we take, The nights we get high just to quiet our brain, Then wake up the next day and do it again. I ain't got all the answers, I ain't pretending I do, I'm just trying to make something out of what I've been through, Maybe one day I'll look back and laugh at the mess, But tonight I'm just grateful I made it this far, I guess. [Final Chorus – Bigger / Emotional] I just wanna breathe for a minute, Put the whole damn world outside, I've been running from tomorrow While I'm trying to survive tonight. If I'm being honest, I'm tired, But I still got something left inside, So I'll laugh when I can, cry when I need to, And keep on living this crazy life. I don't know where I'm going, I just know I gotta keep moving. Maybe that's all this life is— Losing, loving, learning, choosing. Yeah... Maybe that's all this life is. Just waking up... And choosing to keep moving. [Outro – Soft Rap] Another day. Another goal. Another roadblock. Another reason to keep going. What now? ...Guess we'll find out tomorrow.
