Some of the things that you cannot avoid
There are certain things in life that are inevitable and cannot be avoided.

You can do what you do, but can't do what you want
Although you may have some control over your life, there are limits to what you can achieve.

You can put all your time, your money, your life
You can invest all your resources and effort into something.

Hope for the best or you can gamble the lot
You can either choose to be optimistic or take a risky chance with everything you have.

You can howl at the moon or reach for the stars
You can either aim for the impossible or settle for something more achievable.

Order a death at a nominal cost
Life and death can be bought for a low price, indicating society's moral decay.

Past the point of no return
Once you've reached a certain point, there's no going back.

But then arrive on time, you have to dodge the fare
Sometimes, you have to break the rules to achieve your goals.

Peter robs Paul to pay for his course
People resort to unethical methods to achieve their objectives.

Of highly inflated pharmaceutical wares
The healthcare industry is often corrupt and exploitative.

It's a curse to his life, but he knows the risk
People knowingly take risks that may harm them in the long run.

If you want to get real then this is it
This is the harsh reality that people have to face.

On the 19th floor, looking down
Metaphorically, this refers to a person at the top of their game who has achieved success and is looking down on others.

See the sights, not a soul around
Having achieved success, the person feels lonely and isolated.

See the sky, learn to fly
There is more to life than just material success.

Take a jump, let's go for a ride
It's important to take risks and explore new horizons.

Something to say, well then say it now
It's important to speak your mind and express your opinion.

Something to do, well then do it
If you have a goal, take action to achieve it.

Lots to gain, lots to face, lots to prove, so baby
There are plenty of challenges and opportunities in life that we must confront and overcome.

Time is back again, blind to everything
Time moves on relentlessly, regardless of what happens in our lives.

Take the medicine, come and see
Face the harsh realities of life.

I believe we'll still be here inside a thousand lives or more
Our essence will endure despite the limitations and constraints of our life.

Faces, places, nothing ever changes
Despite the passage of time, some things never change.

No one gets remembered for the good that they've done
People don't always appreciate the good things that others do for them.

Finders, keepers, movers, shakers, breakers, makers on the top 40 show
People who are successful and famous are often superficial and lack substance.

The minute you're born, from the moment you talk
From the moment of our birth, we begin to learn and experience life.

Is the minute you see, then you know what's in store
From that moment on, you realize what life has in store for you.

Jostled, pushed from pillar to post
Life is full of challenges and obstacles that we must navigate through.

Volunteering to work on the graveyard shift
People often take on difficult jobs and responsibilities to succeed in life.

Admiring the fools who are robbing you blind
People often find themselves admiring those who take advantage of them.

While watching your back, cause they're always behind
People need to be wary of others who will try to take advantage of them.

What good is a vote if you haven't a voice
In a democratic society, it's important that everyone has a say in the political process.

If you haven't a voice you've got no choice
Without a voice, you have no power to make change happen.
