The Life

Alicia Keys

Ooh…
La…
Ah…(yeah, eh)
Ah…(oh, whoa)

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

Cuz when it rains, it pours
Isn't life worth more?
I don't even know what I'm hustlin' for (hustlin' for)
You gotta do what you gotta do
Just to make it through
All the hard times
That's gonna face you (mmm)

This is the life [this is the life]
Tryin' to survive [yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah]
This is the life [this is the life]
Tryin' to survive [yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah]
This is the life

Living will always be a struggle
Looking for someone true to love you
Looking back, at single horrors
This madness makes me wanna hide

I walk slowly, eternally, I'm dying
Pillowcase is wet from all my crying (crying)
Every other thing more, to be here for
Take me away, I can't live that live no more

This is the life [this is the life] (oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
Tryin' to survive [yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah]
(If you look into my eyes)
This is the life [this is the life] (my life)
Tryin' to survive [yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah]
(Hope's leave, oh…)

This is the life [this is the life]
(Can you see what I seeing)
Tryin' to survive [yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah]
(I can give it moment)
This is the life [this is the life] (this is my life)
Tryin' to survive [yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah]
This is the life

Da, da, da, da (da, da, da, da, da)
Da, da, da, da
Da, da, da

Tryna get over [this is the life]
Tryna get over [yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah]
I'm just tryin', tryna get over [this is the life]
Tryna get over
Tryna get over [yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah]
(This is the life)
Tryna get over [this is the life]
Gonna get over [yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah]
This is the life

Yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah [this is the life]
Yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah
Yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah [this is the life]
Oh, oh…oh…
Yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah
Yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah [this is the life]
