Life, But How To Live It Lyrics - Mdc

Life But How To Live It - 

Life can get bumpy so get ready for a ride 

Think you got a plan but let me confide 

Got a few friends? You're luckier than most 

On this map of life it's easy to get lost 

Make a wrong turn and it could cost you a lot 

But let's hope you get more than one shot 

But you got to try and get off your ass 

Sometimes when you fall down it just means you've got some class 

There are no promises anyone can keep 

No one will cry for you, maybe your momma' will weep 

Be who you are let the players play their game 

Being real is its own reward and it could keep you sane 

You might just get to win some And there are so many more you lose 

At least when you earn something You know you paid your dues 

And if something comes too easy You'll lose it just the same 

Remind yourself there is no sense Trying to lay the blame 

So just remember you can run but you can't ever hide 

Choose your choices well they are yours to decide 

Be who you are and as they say, keep it real 

There's nothing very long that you can conceal 

Life seems long but it goes by really quick 

Be a gentle person and don't be a lousy prick 

Be grateful and treat others the way you want to be treated 

Don't be sour grapes 'cause every now and then we all get cheated 

Life's a vibrating string, an illusion at best 

Try to get it better each time and forget the rest 

There will always be pain - but it will pass 

Try to enjoy it 'cause it goes by so fast 

Make a wrong turn and it could cost you a lot 

But let's hope you get more than one shot 

But you've got to try and get off your ass 

Sometimes when you fall down it just means you got some class 

Life's a vibrating string, an illusion at best 

Try to get it better each time and forget the rest 

There will always be pain - but it will pass 

Try to enjoy it 'cause it goes by so fast
