All About You (Retrospected)

Life's not what you take
It's not about the promises you make
It's not about the friends you might have made
Or love that is gone

Life is what you give
It's not about the stupid things you did
It's not about the way things could have been
It's about moving on

It's all about you
So every morning when you wake before the first step that you take
Just think it's all what you make it and you'll make it through

Yeah
This life will leave you stressed out, left out, with your neck out
Ain't nothing changed
It's real life, so we deal right, but it feels like
It's something strange
Wondering, the dumbest things and let everything
Get under our skin
Trouble again, trying to impress, somebody else
Is tough on the head
So do you, you'll never make everyone happy
It just won't happen
At the end of the day, when all say is said
You better be ready to go back at em
I learned slow, my verse shows
My growth, my wisdom
If you positive or negative
It don't make a difference
Not when you living
Cause some of the most successful people on this planet
Will end themselves, or somebody else
Life they really couldn't manage
Then we got some alcoholics on the streets
With no stress, nowhere to rest, nowhere to dress
Nowhere to sleep
And they said
Fuck my morals
I'm drinking away my sorrows
I'm living life and I'm happy
I ain't thinking about tomorrow
Do you

It's all about you
So every morning when you wake before the first step that you take
Just think it's all what you make it and you'll make it through

It's all about you
So every morning when you wake before the first step that you take
Just think it's all what you make it and you'll make it through

Life is what it brings
It's not about cars and fancy things
Or hair salons or diamond rings girl
So don't you lose no sleep
Life is all about
The things you'll never figure out
It's all about the people you allow and
Memories you keep

Yeah
I guess this is life
So tell me, who chooses what's wrong and right
Is it what we see, on TV, get a job, raise a family
That's how I was raised
It's how I was brought up
Get a wife, a son and a daughter
That's how I was taught to be proper
Never thought anyone could get caught up
Then slowly I grew up
And the fairy tale quickly vanished
Realized that life is a bitch
And kids you gotta be able to stand it
And you gotta be able to handle it
The stress and the pressure, you channel it
And you learn to cope, at the end of your rope
Anyway that you can, with liquor or dope
Or work hard; raise your kids, strip clubs
Whatever it is
Smoke your weed, shoot hoops
Whatever you find your happiness through
It's your life
Just make sure you know what you want when you go in get it
Keep doing this shit for you, not your crew or the dude you trying to impress kid
Life is simple, life is hard, but yeah life is fun
So enjoy the things around you
Before your life is done
And do you

It's all about you
So every morning when you wake before the first step that you take
Just think it's all what you make it and you'll make it through

It's all about you
So every morning when you wake before the first step that you take
Just think it's all what you make it and you'll make it through

Ooh
