C-Real MC - Lifeline Lyrics

I woke up real early
16th July
It was just another birthday
I didn't even try
To pick myself up
So I was stuck in a lie
Another year gone
I thought I'd be in Dubai
Sipping fine wine with some dimes in heels
Driving rides at high speed to see how the fast life feels
But yeah here I am again
Accra city traffic
Feel the fire but we never burn like its magic
Feel the fire but we never learn till it's tragic
My heart's been broken
So my ego's outspoken
People who used to be friends
I give smiles as a token
Cos I ain't tryna be rude but dude just go be you
Cos things change
Nothing's always the same
I've lost friends to money
Some lost themselves to fame
But see this is all real not a fake ordeal
We are defined through life by how we choose to deal with the changes
That's why family turn to strangers
Skeletons in your closet
Can't live so you hang them
You dying inside but you're smiling just pretending for who?
Look inside
Tell yourself the truth
Tell yourself that I will rise above the tide.
And glide across the clouds like a star in the night sky
But right now
Im just tryna live my life right
And take every single day as a lifeline

Your call has been forwarded to an automatic voice message system
At the tone, please record your message

(Yo C, Mike wants us to come finish the joint oh. It's taking too
Long. Hit me back. Vim)

Yeah
Is this what it is?
Struggling for relevance?
Fast whips, loose chicks and living in the tenements?
It seems we only do things these days for the benefits
I wanna start a new life
But already see the end of it
Nothing really changes
Things happen in phases
Pain keeps us alive and the passion restrains us
I don't wanna lose my soul just to be famous
It's like cutting away my hands just for some fingers
Earth, wind and fire
I'm a mixture of desires
On the ladder to success
I don't care who be the highest
So long as I can climb to see above where the sky is
As long as I can beat myself without trying
Look, most of the things in this world are really worthless
Take a look around and make a list
Say what's worth less
Chasing your dreams or nagging through all the work stress
I ask my sisters is a phone really worth sex?
Is a cell really worth your body?
Vanity got you locked behind the bars of your own sanity
The world is fighting to be normal and it's causing anarchy
Media get the news whether it's good or its tragedy
Try to feed you lies and tell you how it's gotta be
But you ain't gotta worry bout your make-up
Look within and see the beauty and strength that you are made of
Look into a mirror and never be afraid of
Everything you see
Everything you are
Everything you dreamed
Everything that cut deep
And left a scar
Reminisce
Make the change
Live your life right
Reach your hands to the sky
This your lifeline

Hey babe, I haven't seen you in a week. I miss you. Call me back okay? I love you

Live your life
Don't worry about time
Hit your grind
Chasing your lifeline
Every day is a hustle
Sometimes a struggle
Gotta be yourself
Above all
Above all
Gotta be yourself
Above all
Sometimes a struggle
Yeah
Live your life
Don't worry about time
Chase down your lifeline
Gotta be yourself
Above all
