What a Life Lyrics by Jonathon Eley

After the Internet

2017

Chorus:

You know I'm just cruising through the city
Couple chicks with me
Told 'em call some friends
And they say they got plenty alright, what's up for the night

I told 'em Ima call my friends
Tell 'em what is
We gon link up
Shawty we gon get it in tonight

Well alright
What a life

Verse 1:

Yelling out we don't give a fuck
Trynna get this money now trynna live it up
It's funny how they come around when you going up
Acting like they been here always trynna show you love

Damn I guess I can't control it
I'm trynna take it in not go through the motion
Niggas get a hit no sign of devotion
While we worked four years, wasn't even close yet

Maybe I got it wrong
Maybe I just overthought every song
Maybe I could really just never belong
While these one hit wonders keeps carrying on

But now we got 'em all turning faces
Send a prayer to my grandma tell her that I made it
All these other artists pre-determined like a matrix
Got me feeling like the whole game I can change it

Chorus:

You know I'm just cruising through the city
Couple chicks with me
Told 'em call some friends
And they say they got plenty alright, what's up for the night

I told 'em Ima call my friends
Tell 'em what is
We gon link up
Shawty we gon get it in tonight

Well alright

(Repeat)

What a life

Verse 2:

I'm trynna be more than they predicted
I want this shit forever man I swear it's an addiction
Remember growing up when life was so unscripted
Now we all play the part slaves to the system

But we some young black kings
Fuck a label man that shit ain't what it seems
Don't worry bout the next person find your own wings
So when you get on they can't even tell you anything

Maybe I got it right
Maybe I just finally just showed them the light
Maybe we just celebrate every night
While we toast and finally made it to the good life

Still got 'em all turning faces
Send a prayer to my grandma tell her that I made it
All these other artist pre-determined like a matrix
Got me feeling like the whole game we changed it

Chorus:

You know I'm just cruising through the city
Couple chicks with me
Told 'em call some friends
And they say they got plenty alright, what's up for the night

I told 'em Ima call my friends
Tell 'em what is
We gon link up
Shawty we gon get it in tonight

Well alright

(Repeat)
