Life’s too short for all the ups and downs
Life’s too short to have even just one frown
Why is it that we lose focus?
Why is it that we play life for a hocus pocus?
They teach you from start family is all you got
They say be responsible for your own actions
The bed you make is the bed you lay in
But what I wanna know is when exactly is all this supposed to begin?
Practice what you preach
Come to find out was just a tired ass speech
Live and learn
You don’t do that until you’ve been burned
Well I say out with the old and in with the new
We gonna start this over with a whole new crew
We are not going to criticize our loved ones and put them down
We are going to help them get to better ground
This generation gonna show the last generation what some of them have forgot
Our generation will love and trust one another
And not just sit around and plot
We are going to build and uplift each other
Instead of give and take
We gonna just give
Life’s too short
That’s how we gonna live
When I cry you cry
I’m gonna cherish you now not just when you die
We gota keep our part of the family strong
And stop doing all this wrong so that we can move beyond
I love all of you even those who aren’t true
But it is what it is and it do what it do
This is 2010 and I’m in it to win
So let’s start there and let each other in
No more losing focus
And to hell wit hocus pocus
We gonna live life to the fullest
And enjoy everyday like a tourist
Because life is too short for all the ups and downs
We planting our feet on higher ground
Our generation, so sound
So beautiful, and yes, so profound!
