The Life

I cant go on like this
Knowing that Im just getting by
Cant go on like this
Knowing that Im just getting high
Cant go on like this
Knowing that Im just getting by
Cant go on like this
Knowing that Im just getting high
Well, I wake up
Around ten in the morning
Feeling crazy, feeling on it
From the night before cause I was up
Till four in the morning plus some
So I take long trip
And then I take out my song scripts
When I sit down to write
I always look to God to help me see the light
But I know, that I aint even livin right
And I know, that I cant live by the night
But its so hard for me just to put it down
So hard for me to pass up the crown
When its been passed down
Im sitting on the throne
Sometimes I feel in this world Ive just been thrown
Not been showing it, and I dont know
When to slow it down
But I cant go on like this
Knowing that Im just getting by
Cant go on like this
Knowing that Im just getting high
Cant go on like this
Knowing that Im just getting by
Cant go on like this
Knowing that Im just getting high
But this is the life, life, life
Life, the life
This is the life, life, the life
Life, the life
This is the life, life, the life
Life, the life
They tell me its the life, life, the life
Life, the life
Once again, I hit the hot spot with my so-called friends
Then I hit the ATM and then I realize I aint got no ends
Then I call up my kin, hey, my moneys going
Im standing at the bar but the drinks quit flowing
Strap for gas sitting on the block
Drunk as hell tryna void the damn cops
And this is how it is sometimes when you fall off track
Like when your records stretched and you try to run it back
But sometimes the stretch got to deep an impact
It makes it so hard for you not to look back
Regretting things you did in the past
I wake up in the morning tell myself it wont last
But I tend to get another glass, then I
Start to act just like an ass, but I
Cant go on like this
Knowing that Im just getting by
Cant go on like this
Knowing that Im just getting high
Cant go on like this
Knowing that Im just getting by
Cant go on like this
Knowing that Im just getting high
But this is the life, life, the life
Life, the life
This is the life, life, the life
Life, the life
They tell me its the life, life, the life
Life, the life
They tell me its the life , life, the life
Life, the life
Life, life, life, life...
I cant go on like this
Knowing that Im just getting by
Cant go on like this
Knowing that Im just getting high
But this is the life, life, life
Life, the life
This is the life, life, the life
The life, the life
This is the life, life, the life
Life, the life
This is the life, life, the life
Life, the life
Life, the life,the life...
But I cant go on like this
Knowing that Im just getting by
Cant go on like this
Knowing that Im just getting high
Cant go on like this
Knowing that Im just getting by
Cant go on like this
Knowing that Im just getting high
This is my life, my life...
