VERSE 1-Danielle
Lately I’ve dreaming ‘bout what my life would be
If I packed my bags and locked the doors, and threw away the key
and I’d trade my sold for cash and gold, cause as they say
The grass is greener on the side, the do it that way.
PRE-CHORUS-Nyle
As the world turns, people walk by this sidewalk
As I walk, sometimes a I catch their side talk.
and all the pretentious things the talk about.
But realize later they’ll be coming out my mouth.
CHORUS-Danielle
I wonder round the city where the stars stare at the sky
and I step down on the concrete as the smoke chokes my own eyes
Tell me that I’m lucky with my Life of Liberty.
‘Cause I never thought that freedom, would be the death of me.
VERSE 2-Danielle
Torn hearts and broken faces, lifeless to the soul
they’re tired of all the years spent turning plastic into gold
And I’m not one to spend my days just swaying in the breeze
Cause nothings ever good enough but flavor of the week
PRE-CHORUS-Nyle
Get a job, a place, a car and a lover.
A setup for me to live comfortably
The same rules of those who live in excess,
so tell me when’s comfort replaced by greed.
VERSE 3-Nyle
They say that money doesn’t buy happiness,
but its supposed to, take you at least one step closer
and as I think about all that’s got me stressed,
I wonder am I blessed, or a vulture or my own culture
Steady moving up the ladder, with no time to sit and gather
my thoughts. Running blind, trying to find what matters
In this world of designer names, parties and shopping sprees
its so ea-sy to find a life misery. A life of luxury where the masses’ memory
Has no recollection of anyting but indulgency
We can’t buy contentment ‘cause a soul has no price
So I’m setting myself free to find Liberty in Life
