Lyrics

[Verse 1]
To these rappers I apologize
I know it ain't fair
Only ball I drop
New Year's, Time Square
The world is mine
Sixth sense, I see the seventh sense
Now baby, let's get started for life
[Verse 2]
Every time I look into your eyes
I feel like I could stare in them for a lifetime
We can get started for life
For life
For life
We can get started for life
For life
For life
We can get started
[Verse 3]
You know it feels right
[Verse 4]
Big news, Pitbull, Tom Cruise, Mumbai
I lit up their December night like the fourth of July
Vanilla sky
Thriller in Manila, knocking them out like Pacquiao
No Ali, no Frasier, but for now it's off to Malaysia
Two passports, three cities, two countries, one day
Now, that's worldwide
If you think it's a game, let's play, dale
[Verse 5]
Every time I look into your eyes
I feel like I could stare in them for a lifetime
We can get started for life
For life
For life
We can get started for life
For life
For life
We can get started
[Verse 6]
You know it feels right
[Verse 7]
I am what they thought I'd never become
I believed and became it
Now I'm here to claim it
I hustle anything you name it, name it
I went from eviction to food stamps
To bagging work, wet and damp
To a passport flooded with stamps
Now it's Voli everywhere I land
[Verse 8]
Two passports, three cities, two countries, one day
Now, that's worldwide
If you think it's a game, let's play, dale
[Verse 9]
'Cause if it feels right
You know it feels right
We shouldn't waste anymore time
Let's get it started
Let's get it started
Don't think about it
Let's get it started
You know I'm gonna make it alright, alright
Let's go
[Verse 10]
'Cause if it feels right
You know I made up my mind
Let's get it started
Let's get it started
Don't think about it
Let's get it started
I know that we can make it alright, alright
[Verse 11]
Every time I look into your eyes
I feel like I could stare in them for a lifetime
We can get started for life
For life
For life
We can get started for life
For life
For life
We can get started
[Verse 12]
Don't start what you can't finish
[Verse 13]
You know it feels right
Let's go
You know it feels right
