It's Life


Success is greatness
Combined with trials and tribulations
Long hours at the job
Beach side family vacations
But when it's all over then what?
What happens after pay cut?

The companies callin'
The stocks have fallin'
Pack your things and be out in the mornin'

But the document he signed said he'd be here for life
Ink writtin by pen
Blood writtin by knife

Guess that's life....

When they need a favor from you that's when they blow up your phone

When they have what they want they're bound to leave you alone

They say greed is a combination of want and need

Instead of taking the crop how about sow the seed

Guess that's life....
