Chorus 

 

Life is what you make it 

 

So don't you waste it 

 

Keep on singing, keep on working, keep on pushing that market 

 

Life is what you make it 

 

So don't you waste it 

 

Keepon singing, keepon working, keepon pushing that market 

 

Verse 1 

 

Life is hard 

So everyone got to work for what they want 

You can’t sit around  

Thinking things are going to fall into your arms 

You have got to be strong 

You have got hold a solid ground 

I have tried so many things so many times 

And still they fall down 

But this is my fate 

This is my raceÂ Â   

This is my birth and resting place 

The brave may fall but never yet yield 

Lessons I learned from my golden days 

This is my fate 

This is my raceÂ Â   

This is my birth and resting place 

The brave may fall but never yet yield 

Lessons I learned from my golden days 

 

Verse 2 

More prayers and blessing 

We Â all got to keep on trodding 

Hey we have got life, we have got strength  

Hopes and dreams so we willing 

Some people make a their living 

 

Lying, killing, robbing hey hey 

We make our living writing singing working all day 

Never give my ghetto youths 

And always speak the truth 

Plant that seed to reap the fruit 

But never the destroy the root 

Never give my ghetto youths 

And always speak the truth 

Plant that seed to reap the fruit 

But never the destroy the root
