Whiteside - That's Life Lyrics

Tried to give my all
But I'm back not giving a fuck again
Took a major fall
I had to pick myself back up again
Don't know who I can call
I'm having issues with my trust again
That's life it goes on
Told myself I quit
But I got right back on them drugs again
Lost all of my licks
I gotta run my money up again
Once they see you lit
They try and double back and fuck again
That's life it goes on

Lotta people left me
Guess they thought that it was over
But quitting ain't in my blood
I keep on marching I'm a soldier
I tried to give my heart
But it just kept on getting broken
And I tried to play it off
But now I'm back drinking and smoking
Ask me how I'm coping
I'ma lie and say I'm good
Traumatized but somehow
I'ma make it out the hood
And make it out for good
I'm so tired of doing bad
And my only motivation
Is to be a better dad
Something that I never had
But that shit normal where I'm from
Where they don't play rock and roll
But they got bands and they got drums
How I get a regular 9-5
And still end up on bond
How they treat me like a king
But I'm still humble like a pawn
Is it cause I know that
I'm the one they stack the odds against
Since they made it hard
I made it hard to go as hard as this
Made it through the darkness
Now they shook like they got Parkinson's
But that's life it goes on

Tried to give my all
But I'm back not giving a fuck again
Took a major fall
I had to pick myself back up again
Don't know who I can call
I'm having issues with my trust again
That's life it goes on
Told myself I quit
But I got right back on them drugs again
Lost all of my licks
I gotta run my money up again
Once they see you lit
They try and double back and fuck again
That's life it goes on

Fighting through depression
Left me tired and feeling wounded
But also like a flower
It feel like I'm finally blooming
So this is more than music
See for me it's therapeutic
This shit might keep me alive
Or from inside a institution
Watching out for cops
And the ops at the same time
You can't spell cops
Without ops they the same kind
Gotta move cautious
Like the hood full of land mines
Still about my change
But I ain't holding up no damn sign
Still I'm 'bout change
'Cause I know all lives matter
But being black
It feel like only y'all lives matter
It's hard enough just living
With yo' kind being targeted
And even worse with
Black on black crime being marketed
Organs being harvested
Kids getting trafficked
That plus all these mass shootings
Shit been getting drastic
And social media still
Turning people into addicts
But that's life it goes on
