The Life

Everyday I realize that this might be the last day of my life.
Walking down the street I find that I'm coming closer and closer to losing my mind.
'Cause when it rains, it pours.
Isn't life worth more? I don't even know what I'm hustlin' for.
You've gotta do what you gotta do just to make it through.
All the hard times that's going to face you.

This is the life, trying to survive.
This is the life, trying to survive.

Living will always be a struggle looking for someone to love you.
Looking back at single horrors, this madness makes me want to hide.
Slowly, internally, I'm dying.
Pillow case is wet from all my crying.
There is nothing more for me to live for.
Take me away, I can't live that life no more.

This is the life, trying to survive.
This is the life, trying to survive.

This is the life, trying to survive.
This is the life, trying to survive.

This is the life, trying to survive.
This is the life, trying to survive.

I'm just trying to get over.
