Common — That Life

{Chorus} How'd you really get that life It's going, it's going How'd you really get that life It's going, it's going How'd you really get that life It's going, it's going How'd you really get that life {Verse 1} How'd you really get that life Remember when we used to watch nick at nite Saying everything was gonna be alright But then you started selling rocks and smoke at night Man Let me feel alive for a minute Go back a few years, then my world starts spinning We never went to church, so i had no limits Tryna make the best of me with what i was given I was so alone in my room Wishing help was on it's way soon Baby I was five feet below I was underneath the water Underneath the undertow The days start skipping now How ya living? Tryna find my way, tryna learn to start forgiving Every other day, a day that i was missing Every night alone, it's only useless wishes {Chorus} It's going, it's going How'd you really get that life It's going, it's going How'd you really get that life It's going, it's going How'd you really get that life It's going, it's going How'd you really get that life {Verse 2} Everything you taught me Everything you wanted Everything you did without me Everything you said Stuck in my memory, even though its faded I still see it cleverly If you do it right the first time you won't get it wrong You're my only son, ima sing it like a song You will grow up and be humble Always take care of your mom If you're feeling down Always stay strong I don't really know what i'm doing Passing time, living in the music baby I've been here for a minute Tryna live my life but there is no winning Tired of being lonely and i feel like quitting Your life is a gift, but life isn't perfect Life isn't gifted, life can be surfaced When we get together (We can get through this) We can get through this {Chorus} It's going, it's going How'd you really get that life It's going, it's going How'd you really get that life It's going, it's going How'd you really get that life It's going, it's going
