Live Life
Tom-Oh Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Man you feel you need a breakthrough?
A bunch of dreams you gotta make true
& The vision a lil' clearer
You look yourself in the mirror and it really ain't the same you
When they always try to blame you
When all the bullshit they did has changed you
& All the rumors they messed up that ain't true
When your feeling blue & your lookin' for that main clue
Yeah, I guess that's why im going hard yall
Tryna work it out like gym, no harbaugh
Tell em that im a g baby, no hardball
Tryna make it pretty when it's ugly like warthogs.yeah
Missing chances gotta tackle more
Buy a chance, thrift shop kid macklemore
& When you don't expect it that's when things happen more
Game ain't over homie come back and score, Yeah

{1}Make a stand now if they telling you that you can't
Make a stand now if they telling you what you ain't
Put your hands up, now tell em your good
Tell em' your good(your good, good), Tell' em your good

Young kids going out of state
Hanging out with celebs, feeling out of place
Even though we ain't there man it's kinda great
Room for improvement & we moved for a lot of space, yeah
Sky's the limit, imma stretch it out
A thousand on my dreams, gotta bet it out
A bunch of things on my mind gotta let it out
& The only thing that helps is seeing all them different crowds
Ugh, so take it out when they doubt you
Cause most likely they know nothing about you
& When they try to spoil, usually when they sprout you
Queen Latifah shit cause im bringing down the house too
No worries, man i think i got a few
With my back against the wall, gotta ball like Uncle Drew
I don't play for the knicks but this other shit is new
Gotta go & give it all, gotta go & break.through

{2}Make a stand now if they telling you that you can't
Make a stand now if they telling you what you ain't
Put your hands up,& tell em your good
Tell em' your good(your good, good), Tell' em your good

Just in case you need some motivation
Go full force homie no hesitation
Get you ready lil homie, call it preperation
Scare ya haters lil homie, call it Freddy Jason
Man i, promise i won't back down
No more talk just act now, Im kingin' up so bow down
Still ballin like stackhouse, We all in no back outs
Do it big like shaq now they tell you do it so countdown

{3}Make a stand now if they telling you that you can't
Make a stand now if they telling you what you ain't




Put your hands up,& tell em your good
Tell em' your good(your good, good), Tell' em your good
