Hang It Up
The 360's Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

There ain't no limit to us now
'Cause eventually always comes around
Oh whether we die old or whether we die young
We gotta live it up till it's gone

Live it up till it's gone
Live it up till it's gone
Live it up till it's gone

Live it up till it's gone
Live it up till it's gone
Live it up till it's gone
Live it up till it's

Had a cloudy head, yeah I know that
Since the fog cleared I'll never go back
And I'm grateful they shot me down
or the person I am I would not be now
Yeah, it ain't good to be bullet proof
'Cause in the end that bullet will be good for you
When I think of all the things that I wouldn't do
now if it wasn't for that one little bullet wound
That means you've gotta learn for mistakes
and no one person's the same
Don't run from anything that hurts you to face
each step you take you get further away
There was a time when I thought of giving up
what I was living my life for didn't come
Now I haven't got time for what I wouldn't die for
I know that life's short so live it up

Live it up till it's gone
Live it up till it's gone
Live it up till it's gone
Gotta live it up

Live it up till it's gone
Live it up till it's gone
Live it up till it's gone
Gotta live it up

Yeah life's a journey I know that
and it doesn't come with a road map
So you know to get though this maze
along the way I made a few mistakes
Ever since then I left it all behind
life's never been better
Head up in the clouds where it ought a be
'Cause they say life's ordinary, but it not
Still for a minute I got in a rut
in prison I was limited and feeling stuck
Had my glass half empty had to fill it up now
And I think I want to get myself a bigger cup
That's how the cards are dealt
will it stay that way, only time will tell when I
think I wanna cry for help, I just try to remind my self

There ain't no limit to us now,
'Cause eventually always comes around,
Ooh whether we die old or whether we die young,
We gotta live it up till it's gone

Live it up till it's gone
Live it up till it's gone
Live it up till it's gone

Live it up till it's gone
Live it up till it's gone
Live it up till it's gone
Gotta live it up

I don't know what the future holds
I don't know if I'll achieve my goals
I just know life beautiful
maybe that's 'cause I'm living it on cruise control
'Cause truth be told it doesn't matter
If you make the whole way up the ladder
Just as long as your living out your dream,
They used to me it was out of reach
But now I'm flying at a thousand feet
never looking at the ground beneath
see I got rid of all the doubt in me
who I was ain't shit on what I'm about to be
Because growing up all I heard was the same story
And if I don't learn well the blames on me
So I started saying yes today
to all the things I said no to yesterday

Ooh whether we die old or whether we die young
We gotta live it up till it's gone





Live it up till it's
