Life Goes On - Dead Prez, The Evil Genius DJ Green Lantern

Life goes on, the world keeps turning & life goes on

Life goes on, the world keeps turning & life goes on

Life goes on, the world keeps turning & life goes on

Life goes on, (hey one how ya feel?) the world keeps (yeah) turning & life goes

on (let's go)

Life goes on

You stuck back in the day, but homie it’s 2009

Every thought you think is a seed you plant that grows within your mind

Better focus on your grind

It’s real out here

The game don’t wait

We fall down

We suck it up

We get back up and make a way

'Cause the past is yesterday

And the future never comes

The present is a gift

This moment is the only one

You can’t rewind the clock

Time is all we got

And once it’s gone

It don’t come back

Whether you like it or not

Gotta play to win

If you ain’t happy — make a change then

If what you doin' ain’t workin' it might be time to change plans

You lookin' at a changed man

From where I used to be

It’s no fear

I ain’t going' nowhere

So get used to me

I shook off the dead weight

Freed up my head space

Now my priorities in order

And my bread straight

With even greater faith

So let the haters hate

For one thing we got in common that we can’t escape is:

Life goes on, the world keeps turning & life goes on

Life goes on, the world keeps turning & life goes on

Life goes on

Some people blame they parents

For what they shoulda done

Or what they didn’t do

Or what they wish they woulda done

Caught up in the past

Trapped, 'cause they can’t forgive

But you can make a choice now how you wanna live

You can be negative;

You can be positive

But either one is up to you

It’s your prerogative

It’s not what happens to us

It’s how we handle what happens

The ups and downs in life give us understanding and balance

Life goes on, the world keeps turning & life goes on

Life goes on, the world keeps turning & life goes on

(Yo, yo) Life goes on

Gotta take it day by day

The pain just seems to fade away

Look at pictures in my mind

Everything just turns to shades of gray

The cornerstone;

without you the family fell apart

Can’t put the pieces together

We don’t know where to start

Had a show in South side Chicago, it was a cold day

Cold playing, repeat playing

No way, I keep saying

Think about my momma locked up in that dungeon, Godforsaken;

And when she find out her momma dead, how she going to take it?

Got an older brother and we argue every time we speak

Every relationship is different

Ours is unique

Shoulda said I’m sorry 'fore I went to school in T-town

I got your memories

I got you on the rebound

Walk with the ancestors — Grand mommy

And if I start to get weary, please stand by me

I just want the world to know your grandson was thinkin' of you

I guess it’s never too late to say that I love you

So this one is for you

Life goes on, the world keeps turning & life goes on

Life goes on, the world keeps turning & life goes on

Life goes on, the world keeps turning & life goes on

Life goes on, the world keeps turning & life goes on

Life goes on, the world keeps turning & life goes on

Life goes on, the world keeps turning & life goes on

Life goes on, the world keeps turning & life goes on

Life goes on, the world keeps turning & life goes on

Life goes on
