The Literates - Journey Of Life lyrics

[Verse 1] I'm in the city where the weather is right You gotta hustle it nice but don't get blinded by the bright lights Let me take you through this journey of life It's like an everyday struggle but we loving the fight Yo we do what we do just to make it through Life is always gonna test you especially when rent's due That's why we live it infinite with no regrets You either thrive off the stress or you can die by the stress I feel blessed with every step that I take It's only one step closer to the path that I've made We must remember when we lose, not to lose the lesson I keep it moving cause you're losing when your body's resting I was destined to master this profession Never one to question and point out imperfections Who are you to be a judge and a critic Focus on yourself and one day you might win it [Hook (x2)] Let me take you on this journey of life Sometimes we smile and sometimes we cry Through these ups and downs we get by I'm not trying to win I'm just trying to survive [Verse 2] I was told to never take what was handed Always work hard for mine and never take it for granted I got my fam on my side to keep me lifted Blood is always thicker than water is my depiction I got a pa**ion for my peoples unequal The genuine friends not the fake and the feeble As long as my heart beats I won't lose And until I flat line I got somethin' to prove Whatever road you choose make sure it's legitimate Never let a person try to limit you from k**in' it What's the difference from an optimist and pessimist We keep it positive the others filled with estrogen Sometimes people gotta take responsibility You gotta face the facts life is full of misery It's on you if you let it get you down You should never be affected, you're the king here's the crown [Hook (x2)] Let me take you on this journey of life Sometimes we smile and sometimes we cry Through these ups and downs we get by I'm not trying to win I'm just trying to survive [Interlude] Yeah, listen no matter what happens in life You gotta keep your head up keep moving [Verse 3] Yo I'm living life like we on the last night Party at nightfall till I see the sun light huh Never wanna be the one to say I could have did it Talkin' to the ones that posed and really don't admit it I'm the type of dude to finish what I started This life game is not for the faint and weak hearted Make this simple tip a part of your existence Exist and stand firm and don't become ignorant We stay livin' it like we never given in The win is in my sights I live it militant I've done so much you couldn't conceive And been so many places that you wouldn't believe I owe it all to the lessons that I've learned Been through many tests sometimes I've gotten burned But when I got hit, it's scars that I've earned The reminder of where I've been, the journey that we yearn [Hook (x2)] Let me take you on this journey of life Sometimes we smile and sometimes we cry Through these ups and downs we get by I'm not trying to win I'm just trying to survive
