Life can get bumpy so get ready for a ride Think you got a plan but let me confide Got a few friends? You're luckier than most On this map of life it's easy to get lost
Make a wrong turn and it could cost you a lot But let's hope you get more than one shot But you got to try and get off your ass Sometimes when you fall down it just means you've got some class
There are no promises anyone can keep No one will cry for you, maybe your momma' will weep Be who you are let the players play their game Being real is its own reward and it could keep you sane
You might just get to win some And there are so many more you lose At least when you earn something You know you paid your dues And if something comes too easy You'll lose it just the same Remind yourself there is no sense Trying to lay the blame
So just remember you can run but you can't ever hide Choose your choices well they are yours to decide Be who you are and as they say, keep it real [ From: http://www.metrolyrics.com/life-but-how-to-live-it-lyrics-mdc.html ] There's nothing very long that you can conceal
Life seems long but it goes by really quick Be a gentle person and don't be a lousy prick Be grateful and treat others the way you want to be treated Don't be sour grapes 'cause every now and then we all get cheated
Life's a vibrating string, an illusion at best Try to get it better each time and forget the rest There will always be pain - but it will pass Try to enjoy it 'cause it goes by so fast
Make a wrong turn and it could cost you a lot But let's hope you get more than one shot But you've got to try and get off your ass Sometimes when you fall down it just means you got some class
Life's a vibrating string, an illusion at best Try to get it better each time and forget the rest There will always be pain - but it will pass Try to enjoy it 'cause it goes by so fast
