What's a Life
Lucidious Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh really need to let
Alright, they say you gotta ask for what you want in life

Well, I wanna wake up in the morning
Smoke and make some music
Say goodbye to everyone who said I couldn't do it
Travel 'round the world live it up on a cruise ship
Take a private jet to an island with my new crib
If you hatin' on me really I give two shits
Workin' nine to five while I'm making a movement
Model to the right chillin' in my new whip
Not a lotta time if you want it better move quick
Linving my life rapping on a mic
Following my dream I can see it in my sights
Why would I not wanna party every night
With the people that I love and the ones who do me right

So pay attention especially my enemies
Here's a toast I'll forget you all with Hennessy
Wash away everything that you have said to me
Makin' history I promise you'll remember me

Tell me what I gotta do (what I gotta do)
I really wanna let it go (let it go let it go)
Tell me what I gotta prove (what I gotta do)
I really need to let it go (I need to let it go)

What's a life if you don't know what you livin' for
How you moving forward if you never lettin' go
Giving up and overdosing on the kitchen floor
Too afraid to open up and let your feelings show
You can have everything that you can think of
What you're goin' through you can get it cleaned up
If you're homeless even if you're broken
Feelin' like you're frozen and going through the motions
Write your dream down scream it out loud
Stay true to you and you gone be proud
All of this started with a freestyle
You and me are both the same way deep down

So pay attention especially my enemies
Here's a toast I'll forget you all with Hennessy
Wash away everything that you have said to me
Makin' history I promise you'll remember me

Tell me what I gotta do (what I gotta do)
I really wanna let it go (I wanna let it go)
Tell me what I gotta prove (what I gotta do)
I really need to let it go (I need to let it go)

Alright alright
Everyday that you wakin' up is a blessing
Don't spend every minute of it stressin'
We ain't perfect we all got confessions
Do what you wanna do and go in your own direction
Gotta love what you seein' in your reflection
Let go of everything everyone is expectin'
You ain't gotta be living life in depression
You choose the way to live it's your perception

Tell me what I gotta do (what I gotta do)
I really wanna let it go (I relly wanna let it go)
Tell me what I gotta prove (what I gotta prove)
I really need to let it go (I really need to let it go)




I really need to let it go x3
Need to let it go
