Текст песни «The life» — Alicia Keys

Verse 1:
Everyday I realize that this might be the last day of my life
Walkin?down the streets I find (heyyyyy)
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
You gotta do what you gotta do
Just to make it through
All the hard times that's gonna face you

Chorus:
This is the life
(this is the life)
Striving to survive
(yeah 6x's)

Verse 2:
Living will always be a struggle
Looking for someone true to love you
Looking back I see all the horrors
This madness makes me wanna holla
I watch slowly, internally
I'm dying
Pillowcases wet from all my crying
Cuz there is nothing more to be here for
Take me away
I can't live that life no more

(chorus 4x's)

This is the life
Yeah (6x's)
(repeat with adlibs till end)
