Lyrics
I know, I know, I know, I know
I know, I know
There'll be some good times
I know, I know, I know, I know
I know, I know
There'll be some goodbyes
I feel the days gettin' colder
I see a change comin' closer
I know, I know, I know, I know
I know, I know
That's what we call life
I've been thinkin' 'bout the energy I put in
Doin' what I shouldn't
Maybe 'cause they told me that I couldn't
Still a better place I'm tryna put my foot in
Came from the ends, you know I always have the hood in
But that won't be my only definition
We can change the cycle mic, can fit the repetition
We could be the difference, see the power and petitions
Positive vibes, you can make it on your mission
Back to good, that ain't the easiest transition (No)
But you can switch it with another mentality
Some of the people at the top came from tragedy (Tragedy)
I wish some of these young youths would stop with their savagery
Soon, and realise there's no prize for the baddest G (Nah)
And it's up to us to offer them the clarity
Instead of focusin' on problems in the charities
But it's what we call life, live it happily
I know, I know, I know, I know
I know, I know
There'll be some good times
I know, I know, I know, I know
I know, I know
There'll be some goodbyes
I feel the days gettin' colder
I see a change comin' closer
I know, I know, I know, I know
I know, I know
That's what we call life
Try to hold me back, but I'm pushin' forward
With somethin' that they never thought of
So when they see me doin' better, man
I know that they are feelin' awkward
But I never let them draw me in their pity card game
I'm from the city (Yeah)
London, where it's lippy in the night
Where it gets litty
Days get gritty
Focusued on my vision to the top I'm gettin' dippy
And I take it on the chin if it ever gets tricky
When I try to hold it down
To the life that I'm livin'
To the rhythm in the sound
The divisions in the crowd
From the system and they're proud
So we came up from the ground
Tryna reach the clouds
Fill us with their doubt
But we all know there's a way
And we're gonna make it out, uh
I got the first night livin' in the job
And yeah, I always make noise
And they're gonna hear me loud, ah
I try to build me somethin'
I try to hold it down
I try to, without rushin'
I try to, I try to
I try to, without judgin'
Keep my feet on solid ground
Whatever I try
That's what we call life
I know, I know, I know, I know
I know, I know
There'll be some good times
I know, I know, I know, I know
I know, I know
There'll be some goodbyes
I feel the days gettin' colder
I see a change comin' closer
I know, I know, I know, I know
I know, I know
That's what we call life
That's what we call life
That's what we call life
That's what we call life
