Verse 1)
Yo, check the mic, one two, the story starts at breath
From mama's arms to walkin' solo, facin' life and death
Not literal, but daily wars, the scrapes upon the knee
The hopscotch dreams as tall as clouds, pure possibility
Then school bells ringin', lessons learned beyond the ABCs
Like how the cool kids rule the yard beneath the shaded trees
First crush feels like summertime, then winter when it's through
Yeah, life's a constant rhythm shift, rewirin' me and you
Got graduation caps flyin', future bright and wide and vast
Then hit the concrete jungle fast, reality hits hard and fast
That alarm clock screamin' vengeance, chasin' paper, payin' dues
The boss man schemin', overtime blues, yeah, spreadin' the bad news
Relationships like tangled wires, sometimes the signal's weak
Lost connections, silent fires, truths you barely speak.
Chorus)
Life's a wild ride, from the cradle to the grave, yeah!
Sunshine on your shoulder one day, storm clouds the next, it's true!
Laughin' til you cryin', buildin' castles in the sand,
Watchin' all the pieces crumble, still you make your stand!
It's the bitter with the sweet, the rhythm and the strife,
Just tryna find your melody inside the noise of life!
life!
(Verse 2)
Peelin' back the layers, see the scars beneath the grin
The bills stackin' like Jenga blocks, prayin' that you win
Before the whole thing tumbles down, leavin' nothin' but debris
The pressure cooker in your chest, shoutin' "Set me free!"
Seen homies fade to memories, ghosts inside your phone
The ache that settles in the bones when you feel all alone
Chasin' validation, scrollin' through the highlight reels
While facin' your own highlight lows, the weight that never heals
Demons in your brain box whisperin' you ain't enough
Climbin' mountains made of doubt, the journey feelin' rough
Heartbreaks leave you fractured, trust eroded by the tide
Yet somedays pure magic hits you, swellin' up with pride.
Chorus)
Life's a wild ride, from the cradle to the grave, yeah!
Sunshine on your shoulder one day, storm clouds the next, it's true!
Laughin' til you cryin', buildin' castles in the sand,
Watchin' all the pieces crumble, still you make your stand!
It's the bitter with the sweet, the rhythm and the strife,
Just tryna find your melody inside the noise of life!
Bridge)
Grandma said it simple: "Baby, thread your needle right.
You gotta stitch the darkness with the fabric of the light."
Find the joy in small things – steam swirlin' off the cup,
A stranger holdin' doors open when your hands are filled up.
The strength you never knew you had when push comes to shove,
The unconditional kinda love, liftin' you above.
It ain't about perfection, just the grit to see it through,
The constant evolution, buildin' a better you.
Outro)
So breathe it deep, the chaos, the calm, the win, the loss
The priceless gain, the heavy cost, across the Albatross
Of time that keeps on sailin', never dockin' for a break
Make your verse count while you're awake, for your own spirit's
