I Love It
913. Hilltop Hoods Lyrics

I'm wondering where the day went
Reflecting on how quickly time passes.

The clouds have me shrouded in grey but
Feeling down or depressed about the current situation.

I'm still out pounding the pavement, word
Continuing to put in effort despite the difficult circumstances.

Drowning the hurt by pounding rounds in brown paper
Using substances as a coping mechanism for emotional pain.

Founded a label now I'm drowning paperwork
Becoming overwhelmed with administrative tasks after starting a business.

But now the crew I'm down with found an escape from work
Finding a release from the pressures of work through shared interests and activities with friends.

And I love it 'cause that what your hard work gets you
Appreciating the fruits of one's labor and the sense of accomplishment it brings.

My heart bursts through my chest I'm rescued
Feeling ecstatic and grateful for the positive outcome of hard work.

So forget what the rest do
Ignoring other people's opinions and expectations to pursue one's own path.

I'm blessed to do it with two of who are the best to do it
Feeling fortunate to work with talented and supportive colleagues or friends.

Do I love it?
Asking a rhetorical question to emphasize the passion and enthusiasm for the current situation.

Look at our goals
Reflecting on the aspirations and objectives that drive one's actions.

If we never stood in the cold we wouldn't evolve
Acknowledging that difficult experiences can lead to personal growth and development.

Used to put my crooked foot in what I couldn't resolve
Struggling to overcome challenges in the past.

But took control now, hard work is good for my soul
Taking responsibility for one's life and realizing that hard work can bring a sense of fulfillment.

And I love it, growing through life and stress
Finding meaning in the obstacles and challenges of life.

Knowing the fight is just half of self-imposing our righteousness
Recognizing that the struggle to do the right thing is a lifelong journey and part of personal growth.

Contract owners and licenses, showbiz in lights we're just
Acknowledging the business side of the music industry and not getting lost in the fame and glamour of it all.

Searching for that moment of pricelessness
Seeking the moments of genuine connection and artistic expression that make all the hard work worthwhile.

B-Boys, I met you at the bus stop
Addressing the fellow hip-hop artists he met as young boys.

We had nothing but the tuck shop
Reminiscing about the simplicity of their childhoods and the joys found in small things like buying snacks.

Now we're all grown up and it's still about Hip Hop
Reaffirming their continued love and dedication to hip-hop despite growing up and facing adult responsibilities.

Five days deep in the booth, and spent Friday leaping through loops
Working tirelessly in the recording studio throughout the week with no break, culminating in a final push on Friday.

Then spent the weekend sideways, seeking the truth
Taking a break on the weekend to reflect and gain insight into personal truths.

And I won't lie they keep me on my toes these days
Acknowledging the stress and pressure of the music industry, but staying motivated and alert.

But I won't lie, hey I beat 'em with the flow for days
Confident in his own abilities and talent to overcome obstacles in the music industry.

A pen and pads like a red rag to a bull
Describing the power of writing and how it fuels his passion for music.

I see red like Leningrad
Feeling fierce and fired up, like the siege of Leningrad during WWII.

Raising a crowd from a vacant lot's like, like how
Describing the thrill and excitement of performing for a crowd in an unexpected, unconventional location.

Raising a brow on the face of god right? Right now
Feeling a sense of awe and accomplishment for creating something great and powerful that moves people.

And I love it a life with no regret
Finding fulfillment in life by pursuing passions and avoiding regret.

No success without a price that owes a debt
Knowing that success often comes at a cost and requires hard work and sacrifice.

I roll the dice and despite the road ahead
Taking risks and facing the unknown despite the uncertainty of the future.

Hope that in a crisis I might just know the ledge
Believing in one's ability to handle difficult situations and make the right decisions.

But I love it like take away beer
Describing a love and appreciation for life's simple pleasures.

And a sunset to lay away our day-to-day fears
Finding solace and peace in the beauty of the natural world.

See haters under rates us but this status takes years
Acknowledging the criticism from detractors, but recognizing that time and effort are required to achieve success.

And it ain't where we're at; it's how we made our way here
Realizing the journey is just as important as the destination, and being proud of the work put in to achieve success.

And we can be in a hotel, worst part of town and
Acknowledging that success does not always come with luxury and glamour.

Support act, we ain't half as loud but
Accepting one's place as a support act rather than the headliner.

Twice as nice you can ask the crowd then
Finding validation and confidence in the response of the audience.

We passing out in a departure lounge and
Breaking the monotony of travel and performance schedules with moments of rest and relaxation.

I love it, I hug the road like an old friend
Feeling a deep appreciation and connection to life on the road as a musician.

Like the world won't revolve unless we're rolling on it
Feeling integral and connected to the world through the experiences gained from constant travel.

It holds them on it, it's soul melodic
Finding a soulful quality in the music and the connection it creates with fans.

And oh they want it and I love it
Feeling rewarded and motivated by the enthusiasm and demand of fans for one's music.

Been chasing the dream
Pursuing one's passion and following the dream of becoming a successful musician.

Everyday a new place, new faces and scene
Experiencing new cultures and communities through travel and performances.

Living out a suitcase few breaks in between
Adjusting to a nomadic lifestyle with little time for rest or relaxation.

There's been very few days I'd loose faith in my team
Feeling a strong sense of camaraderie and support from bandmates or colleagues, even during the tough times.

Got love far from home through the winter and summer
Finding love and comfort in unfamiliar places and difficult times.

No matter how hard the road or the distance I cover
Realizing that the journey is difficult, but persevering through the hardships to achieve success.

Even bitter when I'm missing my significant other
Feeling sad and lonely without the presence of a loved one while on the road.

I wouldn't trade it for the world given another
Feeling deeply committed to the music and the journey, despite the hardships.
