Livin' Up

That's live, that's love that's living up
That's working hard and never giving up
That's fighting for your dreams to make 'em real
That's silencing the way that you might feel
And biting on your tongue might get you there
But it'll never take you up on all the stairs
And if you've never seen the sun from up above
How could you ever really feel like you've been loved

How do I know where to go, when the lights out
How can you tell me to chill if I'm stressing out?
How I can lose, can I win at the same time?
And what is right, what is wrong when it's undefined
Whoever taught us to be great and to be understood?
Right when the towns get divided into neighbourhoods
The only problem is you got to make a living son
Give me your block and I would tell you just what you'll become
Don't try to listen to another when he's underneath
And if they climbing up the walls, better show your teeth'
Cause it's a solitary tower when you're up above
Built up of stacks of money, money can't buy love
So we evaluate the others for the things they do
Instead of grading one another for their field of view
Man, it's tiring... I got my heart well soaked
While the others fighting brothers, still they all got roped

That's life, that's love that's living up
That's working hard and never giving up
That's fighting for your dreams to make 'em real
That's silencing the way that you might feel
And biting on your tongue might get you there
But it'll never take you up on all the stairs
And if you've never seen the sun from up above
How could you ever really feel like you've been loved

As I come closer, see the notion now my name's red lit
I'm straight forward in my motion as to tell that shit
If you're disliking what I'm saying, than feel free to leave
But don't go standing there disregarding those men's grief
At least they honest, well that's what they call crunch
Trynna work three jobs just to buy kids' lunch
Meanwhile a tear rolls down on that grown man's face
He's trynna hold it all together in his travels to a better place
'Damn, how can we all be blind
When fussing over money is a waste of time'
Easy to quote, when you've obtained all chips
Everybody is dependent on your goodwill tips
So in the mist of all the glamour try to school you cause
See them fighting over power, while they straight out o' love
I've seen the sun go down, man lightning and thunder
And for a second hoped they feel better six feet under
That's real talk

That's life, that's love that's living up
That's working hard and never giving up
That's fighting for your dreams to make 'em real
That's silencing the way that you might feel
And biting on your tongue might get you there
But it'll never take you up on all the stairs
And if you've never seen the sun from up above
How could you ever really feel like you've been loved
