Literates – Journey Of Life lyrics

[Verse:]
I'm in the city where the weather is right
You gotta hustle it nice but don't get blinded by the bright lights
Let me take you through this journey of life
It's like an everyday struggle but we lovin' the fight
Yo we do what we do just to make it through
Life is always gonna test you especially when rent's due
That's why we live it infinite with no regrets
You either thrive off the stress or you can die by the stress
I feel blessed with every step that I take
It's only one step closer to the path that I've made
We must remember when we lose, not to lose the lesson
I keep it movin' cause you're losin' when ya body's restin
I was destined to master this profession
Never one to question and point out imperfections
Who are you to be a judge and a critic
Focus on yourself and one day you might win it

[Hook (x2)]
Let me take you on this journey of life
Sometimes we smile and sometimes we cry
Through these ups and downs we get by
I'm not tryin' to win I'm just tryin' to survive

[Verse 2:]
I was told to never take what was handed
Always work hard for mine and never take it for granted
I got my fam on my side to keep me lifted
Blood is always thicker than water is my depiction
I got a passion for my peoples unequal
The genuine friends not the fake and the feeble
As long as my heart beats I won't lose
And until I flat line I got somethin' to prove
Whatever road you choose make sure it's legitimate
Never let a person try to limit you from killin' it
What's the difference from an optimist and pessimist
We keep it positive the others filled with estrogen
Sometimes people gotta take responsibility
You gotta face the facts life is full of misery
It's on you if you let it get you down
You should never be affected, you're the king here's the crown

[Hook (x2)]
Let me take you on this journey of life
Sometimes we smile and sometimes we cry
Through these ups and downs we get by
I'm not tryin' to win I'm just tryin' to survive

[Interlude]
Yeah, listen no matter what happens in life
You gotta keep your head up keep movin'

[Verse 3:]
Yo I'm livin' life like we on the last night
Party at nightfall till I see the sun light huh
Never wanna be the one to say I could have did it
Talkin' to the ones that posed and really don't admit it
I'm the type of dude to finish what I started
This life game is not for the faint and weak hearted
Make this simple tip a part of your existence
Exist and stand firm and don't become ignorant
We stay livin' it like we never given in
The win is in my sights I live it militant
I've done so much you couldn't conceive
And been so many places that you wouldn't believe
I owe it all to the lessons that I've learned
Been through many tests sometimes I've gotten burned
But when I got hit, it's scars that I've earned
The reminder of where I've been, the journey that we yearn

[Hook (x2)]
Let me take you on this journey of life
Sometimes we smile and sometimes we cry
Through these ups and downs we get by
I'm not tryin' to win I'm just tryin' to survive
