It's madcon, kelly rowland, "living one life"
You're only getting one life,
So live it up, one life
All you get is one life, so live it up
One life

Don't let nobody tell you otherwise
Listen to your heart
And let your dreams fly
Never give it up, up, up
And even when you fog it up and give another try
Never give it up, up, up
You gotta beat it
And when it rains it pours just stay the course
Yeah, and even when you think nobody cares
You gotta believe it gets better

When nothing's gone right
And the light just won't brighten up
You got nothing left
In your fight
Don't you give it up yeah

Nobody's gonna hold me down, me down
You gotta understand
We only have one life
We only have one life

I keep my feet upon the ground
I gotta realize
We only have one life
We only have one life
We're gonna make it

Yes we've gotta make it work
Yes we're gotta make it work
We're gonna make it

Yes we've gotta make it work
Yes we've gotta make it work

Ah yeah, while looking at the old me
And thinking back on stuff that all my teachers told me
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

When nothing's gone right
And the light just won't brighten up
You got nothing left
In your fight
Don't you give it up, yeah

Nobody's gonna hold me down, me down
Ya gotta understand
We only have one life
We only have one life, one life

I keep my feet upon the ground, the ground
I gotta realize

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
