I’ve been there, I’ve done it, if life gets hard then I gun it

No use screamin’ and runnin’, gotta make yo life be worth somethin’

Can't let the group of social idiots go and get me upset

Cause when you’re goin through the motions you gotta stay on top of it


Yellin’ what i really really want from a life like this

A wife and a kid quite like this

Run around in the light like this

Take a hike like this

So I might just, might just, I don’t know

The dissipation of my elation, want so much more than this occupation

And in relation, this conversation is a message of my own creation

I’m being real with ya but it will teach ya to calm down

Acting like a party clown,  take it slow, like dancing in a wedding gown

Now the world out there, it's really real, in the midst of death it's hard to feel

The sickly zeal, can't see happiness through a movie reel

Real talk, I wanna ride the waves and surf with ya, go out and find our worth with ya

In the end game, it's gonna get ya

After all this time, it's here to hit ya

The end result, it's gonna vary, the journey there is kinda scary

But we take it on like Clyde Perry, “This [darn] burden, [I’m gonna] carry.”

 

Make our way(Make our way) make our way  (make our way)

We gon’ try our best while we makin’ our

(Way, way, way) Make our way

We gon’ try our best while we makin’ our way

This piece was for my ELA class, and goes to the music of Fade Away by logic. The lyrics were heavily based off of the original song. Also I lost my cheese balls, please let me know if you have seen them, thanks.
