Life
Sherlock Tones Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I wake up to a brand new day / i'm just happy that i'm breathing /
I know i said it before / but i'm living this life like i'm dreaming /
I gotta get it in 'til the sunrise / and never gone quit 'til the sun dies /
And when i need a little motivation / all i gotta do is look in my sons eyes /
My attitude is so exclusive / ever since i survived that night /
When you get another chance to live / i'm saying that'll change your life /
And this life don't happen twice / we just trying to get up to new heights /
And make it through the night / another day in the life /

From the morning to the night / we've got moves to make /
Have to hustle all day / do whatever it takes /
So alive, we stay high watching time pass slow /
It's just another day, just another day /

From the morning to the night / we've got moves to make /
Have to hustle all day / do whatever it takes /
So alive, we stay high watching time pass slow /
It's just another day, just another day in the life /

I put in work 'til the twilight / i give you my life behind these micas /
We trying to do numbers like Twilight / Team Sherlock, save the limelight /
And this right here is for my fam / i'm saying i love my folks /
When you down and out, keep your head up high and don't give up hope /
For the strippers in the club getting naked / doing what you got to bring home the bacon /
I know it's hard nowadays just to make it /

The pride inside, don't ever let 'em take it /
And this life don't happen twice /
We just trying to make it up to new heights /
And make it through the night /
Another day in the life /

From the morning to the night / we've got moves to make /
Have to hustle all day / do whatever it takes /
So alive, we stay high watching time pass slow /
It's just another day, just another day /

From the morning to the night / we've got moves to make /
Have to hustle all day / do whatever it takes /
So alive, we stay high watching time pass slow /
It's just another day, just another day in the life /

It's another day /
It's another day /
It's another day /

It's another day /
It's another day in the life /
