Dragon
KOTA The Friend Lyrics

People say there's more to life
There is a common belief that life holds greater significance

Than getting rich and walking right
Beyond accumulating wealth and conforming to societal norms

Graduate from nine to five
To escape the monotony of a regular job

Sit and watch the time go by
Passively observing the passage of time

I don't really know, that may be it all
Uncertainty about whether that is the essence of life

It could be the whole thing
Possibility that it encompasses everything

I do what I want, I go where I please
Exercising personal freedom and spontaneity

But still I want more things
Despite having freedom, there are desires for material possessions

I let lost people run my life
Allowing others who are drifting to influence decisions

Sing these songs, it's all I got
Expressing oneself through music is the remaining outlet

Lost myself to a part I play
Becoming disconnected from one's true self while playing a role

Now I'm just sad and my head hurt
Feeling melancholic and experiencing mental distress

Ain't no wet foot, I go head first
Fearless and diving into the unknown with full commitment

Hit the fork and I took a left turn
Choosing a different path and deviating from expectations

Learning that I had to do it my way
Realizing the necessity of following one's own path

And before it gets better, it's gon' get worse
Understanding that progress often comes after hardships and challenges

You better live for the right now
It is important to focus on the present moment

And throw a smile on your face
Choosing to have a positive outlook and display happiness

The good things in your life now
Appreciating the positive aspects of one's current situation

Do not let 'em go to waste
Avoiding neglect or disregard of the blessings one has

If I could give you some advice now
If there was an opportunity to offer guidance

Appreciate what you have
Recognizing and valuing what one possesses

'Cause if you lost it all right now
In the event that everything is suddenly gone

I betcha you'd be in your bag
You would likely feel devastated

Girl, you better bask in that daylight
Take pleasure and find joy in the present moment

Mama told me 'Boy, fix your face right
Mother advised to maintain a positive countenance

And if you keep whining, I promise
Continuing complaints will result in consequences

I'll give you good reason to cry'
She will provide ample cause for tears

Life's short, don't waste time
Recognize the brevity of life and use time wisely

Got a good girl, gotta make time
If you have a great partner, prioritize spending time together

Gotta throw the ego to the wayside
Put aside personal pride and selfishness

Show love, you ain't gotta say why, nah
Display affection without needing an explanation

I used to want to be up on the music blogs
Previously desiring recognition in music publications

I used to want to sign a deal with Interscope
Having aspirations of securing a contract with a major label

I used to want to be up in the illest cars
Previously aspiring to own luxury vehicles

With the baddest women and the illest hoes
Seeking companionship with attractive and desirable partners

And the mad Benz, on the cal, with the ceiling off
Imagining driving a high-end convertible car with the roof down

Looking at my ex-girl, walking as I'm peeling off
Observing an ex-partner while departing

Camera pan close up on her face and she's still in awe
Camera zooms in on her expression reflecting amazement

I may not have a million but I'm chillin' dog
Lacking immense wealth yet feeling content and relaxed

And if I could go back, I would say to him
Reflecting on the past, advising a younger version of oneself

'Just focus on your spirit and you'll make it, kid
Prioritizing personal growth will lead to success

And do right by the women that you make it with
Treating romantic partners with respect and fairness

Taking her for granted, she's someone you should be patient with
Avoiding underappreciation and practicing patience in relationships

Get your mama flowers, even when she get you mad mad
Expressing love and gratitude to one's mother, despite conflicts

And people backstab, be careful and keep a trash bag
Remain cautious of betrayal and be ready to remove toxic influences

Skip the fast cash, be knowledgeable, that's the bag bag
Choosing to forgo quick money in favor of wisdom and growth

Polish all your skills, set your price, then you tax that
Refining one's abilities, determining their value, and capitalizing on them

Even if you independent no man is an island
Even if you are self-reliant, human connection is essential

And do not put your stock in fresh trends and diamonds
Avoid investing too heavily in fleeting fads and material possessions

And if you treat her good, she won't think about your wallet
When you treat a woman well, she values your character over finances

You could put a rock on her finger, don't make you solid
Buying an expensive ring does not define your worth as a partner
