[Chorus]
|
Life goes on, the world keeps turning & life goes on
|
Life goes on, the world keeps turning & life goes on
|
Life goes on, the world keeps turning & life goes on
|
Life goes on, (hey one how ya feel?) the world keeps (yeah) turning & life goes on (let's go)
|
Life goes on
|
|
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 the 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
|
From where I used to be
|
It's no fear
|
I ain't going' 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 straight
|
With even greater faith
|
So let the haters hate
|
For one thing we got in common that we can't escape is...
|
|
[Chorus]
|
Life goes on, the world keeps turning & life goes on
|
Life goes on, the world keeps turning & life goes on
|
Life goes on
|
|
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
|
|
[Chorus]
|
Life goes on, the world keeps turning & life goes on
|
Life goes on, the world keeps turning & life goes on
|
(Yo, yo) Life goes on
|
|
Gotta take it day by day
|
The pain just seems to fade away
|
Look at 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 South side Chicago, it was a cold day
|
Cold playing, repeat playing
|
No way, I keep saying
|
Think about my momma locked up in that dungeon, Godforsaken;
|
and when she find out her momma dead, how she going to 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 T-town
|
I got your memories
|
I got you on the rebound
|
Walk with the ancestors - Grand mommy
|
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 too late to say that I love you
|
So this one is for you
|
|
[Chorus]
|
Life goes on, the world keeps turning & life goes on
|
Life goes on, the world keeps turning & life goes on
|
Life goes on, the world keeps turning & life goes on
|
Life goes on, the world keeps turning & life goes on
|
Life goes on, the world keeps turning & life goes on
|
Life goes on, the world keeps turning & life goes on
|
Life goes on, the world keeps turning & life goes on
|
Life goes on, the world keeps turning & life goes on
|
Life goes on
|
