That’s How Life Goes

[Verse 1]

Been much more productive since the first lockdown
I've made a few songs, haven't forgot how...
Much the world had changed, due to one virus
But I kept searching for gold like a pirate
Upgraded FL Studio on my laptop
Full of lit instrumentals, call it the matchbox
Recording all my songs from home, I still persist
Through a USB Microphone that I got from Wish

Two mixtapes during my time in my bedroom
A thousand ideas occupy my head's room
As the world turns full circle like a Fruit Loop
I make type beats and put them out on YouTube
Didn't know where to go, but I know now;
Just need to get a little buzz in my hometown
Working into the night, еveryone sound asleep
And if he's listеning, I hope Dan is proud of me

(That's how life goes)
Straight out of the dirt
Rewards don't come to those who don't work
(That's how life goes)
Gotta find a way through this life
To be sure I'll turn out alright
(That's how life goes)
Gotta find the money
If I wanna make sure that my life is sunny
(That's how life goes)
And I should know
(That's how life goes)
Yeah, yeah

[Verse 2]

Had some drama too, don't think I hadn't noticed
Had to cut some weeds, just to smell the roses:
A bunch of jealous folk, full of faux praise
Tryin' to turn my inferno into a slow blaze
Even a friend I had went and turned toxic
What hurts the most is that I couldn't stop it
Staying by his side, wasting time was a no-go
So in turn, I had to ditch him and ride solo

Plus my time in the studio's limited
Once I turn 25, I'll be prohibited
From making a return, and that's a damn shame
But life's a game and those are rules I gotta play
But nowadays, I don't need it
Record a song from home and I still feel lit
Took some time for that fact to go and process
Now I feel happier as I make some progress

[Hook]

[Verse 3]

As for what the future holds, I'm still unsure
Gotta make some plans, grow up and mature
Can't do rap alone, not without consequence
Lived inside a bubble, now I'm runnin' out of oxygen
Suppose my family went and dropped dead yesterday
So me and my dreams would have to go break away
If I still chose to live life irresponsible
Then livin' life then would be near impossible

This year, I need to change, I'm not pretendin'
This part time work streak, I need to end it
I can still do rap, just not to the extent
Of when I was young, when I would pretend
That responsibilities were so far away
This hobby of mine needs its own place
On the back-burner, that I can always carry
If I want to live my life, and live it happy
