Life

[Verse 1]

What is life?

Life’s a battle, no referee, no breaks, no time-outs, no guarantees

It’s like a maze with no exit sign, you’re blind,

Trapped inside your own mind, tryna rewind time

And every time you rise, it pulls you back down,

Chains on your ankles, you're stuck on the ground

Every step feels like a war,

And every win feels like a chore, but you don't know the score?

It’s like the world’s keeping tabs on my pain,

And every tear I cry just pours into the rain

What’s the gain? Why do I keep playin' this game?

Why does it feel like I’m the only one to blame?

 

[Chorus]

What is life? Just tell me what’s the meaning,

Every day I’m waking up screaming

Every night I’m fighting my demons

What is life? I’m tired of life, I’m tired of bleeding

 

[Verse 2]

What are friends?

Friends are ghosts, they haunt when you’re lost,

They smile, but the cost is a knife when you’re soft

They say they’re ridin' with you, but when the road gets rough,

They vanish like smoke, 'cause you ain’t enough

I’ve been stabbed in the back so many times I’m numb,

I could write a damn novel with the stories I’ve spun

But I keep my guard up, my fists stay clenched,

Cause' I'm not no retard, bent for revenge

I bet when I hit success, they circle back like vultures,

 

But I see through the lies, I see through the masks,

I see through the fake hugs and the fake laughs

 

[Chorus]

What is life? Just tell me what’s the meaning,

Every day I’m waking up screaming

Every night I’m fighting my demons

What is life? I’m tired of life, I’m tired of bleeding

 

[Bridge]

What is money?

Money’s a sickness, a virus in the veins

It changes people’s faces, it rewires their brains

It’s the devil in disguise, the puppet master,

It turns love into greed and trust into disaster

It’s the root of the evil, the poison in the soil,

It’s what makes the honest man disloyal

And the ones who never called, now they’re hittin’ my line,

Like, “Yo, remember me? We go way back in time!”

Nah, I remember the silence when I was broke,

I remember the laughs when I was the joke

Now you wanna act like we’re family, close?

Sorry, I’m allergic to fake, I might choke

 

[Chorus]

What is life? Just tell me what’s the meaning,

Every day I’m waking up screaming

Every night I’m fighting my demons

What is life? I’m tired of life, I’m tired of bleeding

 

[Outro]

Maybe life’s just a test, or maybe it’s a curse,

Maybe we’re meant to fight 'til we’re buried in the dirt

But if I’m still here, if I’m still breathing,

Then maybe there’s a reason, maybe there’s a reason

What is life? Maybe I’ll never know,

But I’ll keep walking this road, even if it’s cold

And when the day comes and I’m six feet deep,

I’ll rest knowing I gave everything, no retreat success bet
