C'est La Vie

Not early morning
My mind is a maze
I wake up at last
Icy water in face
The wind is pleasant
But my body still aches
I could use some love
I could use an embrace

Still I'm fine
I just need some time
To find out who I am
To make it clear
And make a name

This Life is a quest
Live it right way
Let's thrive for the best
It's like a highway:
Going too fast —
You may not last
Going too slow —
You may come the last

The heartbeat in chest —
Is all what we have
To lead us through the life
To leave the driveway

Make something to last
And then you can rest
Make a contribution
Have no fear to protest

And don't let others
Tell you what to do
Tell you what to be
What to see
C'est La Vie
Some people just want to hear
What you wanna be
Venom from their tongues
May turn your dream into debris

So you'd better keep
What you want inside your heart
Anyway they'll see
Your attainment, your result

Shut them fuck up
If these bitches gon' laugh
Tell them go to hell
See what they gon' obtain
Cuz, you know, there's a thing:
People who're successful
In some stuff...
They're not gonna
Drag you through the mud
Or disparage, or slag...
