Life Away Lyrics by Tona

Carpe Diem

2015

[Verse 1]
Yeah, yeah this feeling like poetic justice
Poetic justice this probably the first time
In life I'm saying these feelings in public
What if I just happened to love it
Waking up every day to that bottle
Some say it's an antidepressant
Bet I feel better tomorrow
Up on the east side of Chicago
Where I seen all of my action
Developed my taste in fashion
Flashing every day out of havoc
Every week was out in that club life
Held a gun in that thug life
None of that was for me
But I still act like I condone it
Mama I know you see me making that news
That wasn't your proudest moment
Just wanna see you smile
Never ever had to deal with no trial
Cause all you want is some grandkids
Me to walk down the aisle out with
Somebody I love
Never giving up on your son
[Hook](x2)
Feel like I'm drinking my life away
Smoking my life away
Fucking my life away
Still hold on to them brighter days
Had me working my life away
Slaving my life away
That feeling of just giving your life away
[Verse 2]
That gave me a share all I've touched
It's been a decade and some now
After all of these women
I realize she my first love now
But we was in high school
Was thinking too young how
Am I gon' show you love
That I've been looking for all my life
Cause it's not something I know
Don't even get that at home
Or anyone around me at all
My phone ring less in the morn'
Once I heard that you mom passed
All I wanted to do was come find ya
Let you know you not alone
Sometimes that call a reminder
Me and my new girl just fighting
It's like we just hate each other
Hate myself when I'm with her
Hate myself when I'm without her
I keep in touch with my niggas
Let them know I'm ready for war
See that's that feeling I want
But I never get it from y'all
Y'all rather party and bullshit
Next thing you know we all gone
Saying shit like man I miss them
We ain't on this planet that long
To anybody out there that's listening
Just hear me out through this song
Don't wait till somebody gone
For you to love them that strong
[Hook](x2)
