Life Goes On

Dead Prez

Life goes on...

The world keeps turning and life goes on, life goes on...(repeat)

Stic:

M1, how you feel?

Yah!

Let's go...

You stuck back in the day, but homie, it's 2009
Every thought you think is a seed you plant that grows within your mind

Better focus on your grind, it's real out here, the game don't wait
We fall down, we suck it up, we get back up and make a way

Cause the past is yesterday, and the future never comes
The present is a gift, this moment is the only one

You can't rewind a clock, time is all we got,
and once it's gone, it don't come back whether you like it or not

Gotta play to win,
If you ain't happy, make a change then
If what you doin' ain't workin, it might be time to change plans,

You lookin' at a changed man
But where I used to be, it's no fear, I ain't goin nowhere, so get used to me
I shook off the dead weight, freed up my head space
Now my priorities in order, and my (bread's breaked?)

With even greater face, so let the haters hate the one thing we got in common that we can't escape is...

Life goes on...

The world keeps turning and life goes on, life goes on (repeat)

Stic:

Some people blame they parents for what they shoulda done or what they didn't do, or what they wish they woulda done,
Caught up in the past, trapped cause they can't forgive, but you can make a choice now how you wanna live

You can be negative, you can be positive, but either one is up to you, it's your prerogative
It's not what happens to us, it's how we handle what happens, the ups and downs in life give us understanding and balance

Life goes on...

The world keeps turning and life goes on, life goes on (repeat)

M1:

Yo, yo...gotta take it day by day, the pain just seems to fade away
For the pictures in my mind, everything just turns to shades of gray

The cornerstone without you, the family fell apart, can't put the pieces together, we don't know where to start
Had a show in southside Chicago, it was a cold day, go play or be played, no way, I keep sayin'

Thinkin' about my mama locked up in that dungeon, god forsaken
And when she found out her mama did, how she gon' take it

Got an older brother and we argue every time we speak
Every relationship is different, ours is unique
Shoulda said I'm sorry 'fore I went to school in the T-town
I got your memories, I'll catch you on the rebound

Walk with the ancestors, grandmommy,
And if I start to get weary, please stand by me
I just want the world to know your grandson was thinkin' of you
I guess it's never to late to say that I love you, so this one is for you

Life goes on...

The world keeps turning and life goes on, life goes on...(repeat)
