You know it put that fire in my eyes and though
I'm blind to the future, I'mma do it 'cause I owe me
You know, this grind is my religion
Got tired of modest livin'
Survival was my upbringing
Uh, and my sky it has no limit
My time is all I'm given

لا لا لا لا لا لا لا لا لا
إنه مادكون
كيلي رولاند
تعيش حياة واحدة
فإنك تحصل على حياة واحدة فقط لذا
عيشها حياة واحدة
كل ما تحصل عليه هو حياة واحدة لذا
عيشها حياة واحدة

لا تدع n-body يخبرك بخلاف ذلك
استمع إلى قلبك
ودع أحلامك تطير
ولا تتخلى عنها أبدًا ولا تتخلى عنها
وحتى عندما تشوشها وتجرب مرة أخرى
لا تتخلى عنها أبدًا بل
يجب أن تدق ذلك
وعندما تمطر يصب مجرد البقاء الدورة
نعم، وحتى عندما كنت تعتقد ن الجسم يهتم
لك فلدي أعتقد أنه يحصل على أفضل

قبل الكورس:
عندما لا تسير الأمور بشكل صحيح
ولا يضيء الضوء لم
يتبق شيء
في قتالك
فلا تتخلى عنه نعم
