Mike James - Welcome To The Life lyrics

rate me

Welcome to the life, city of bright lights,

I know it’s been a long road and you took the long flight,

And it’s about time something finally gone right,

So no more dreaming, ‘cause it’s gonna be a long night.

Yeah, I’ve been waiting for this, everyday I will pray for this.

I’m living out my dreams, my dreams, I was made for this,

It’s priceless, but I pay for this, I will pay for this.

Paper cuts on my hands from the cash counting,

She get wet in my wild life splash mountain

I got a thing for the fast life, if only I remember what the fuck happened last night.

I made it here and I ain’t going to my past life,

And I know what I’m doing so keep your head rise.

I swear I’m dropping something heavy like an air veil,

And I get a lot of head like advil

Size eight and a half, and you can’t feel

Michael J Fox, I can’t stand still.

I gotta keep it moving with the same plan still

Just thinking about it giving me the damn chills.

This is everything we prayed for, this the limelight, not everybody name for

Gotta go out and get it, you can’t wait for,

And if time is money I’m trying to pay for it.

Welcome to the life, city of bright lights,

I know it’s been a long road and you took the long flight,

And it’s about time something finally gone right,

So no more dreaming, ‘cause it’s gonna be a long night.

Yeah, I’ve been waiting for this, everyday I will pray for this.

I’m living out my dreams, my dreams, I was made for this,

It’s priceless, but I pay for this, I will pay for this.

I can’t wait ‘till my money right, ‘cause is not yet,

I know people with the gribs and old jobs get

I know people aren’t g’s, can’t get out of debt.

I worry about my niece, can’t get out of stress

Sister use a whip for the milk and cereal,

And my posses checking me the Cheerios.

Here we go, another day, another head ache,

Getting out of bed late, just to feel your chest ache.

You know how it feels to accomplish something

With no school best, gotta account for something.

‘cause everyone said I wouldn’t amount to nothing

And ain’t all the shit to count for me out for nothing.

C+ student, I ain’t the bright mind, my teacher order bleaches, wasn’t something that I realized.

Not me, I wanted the bright light, the shit here is what I waited for my entire life.

Welcome to the life, city of bright lights,

I know it’s been a long road and you took the long flight,

And it’s about time something finally gone right,

So no more dreaming, ‘cause it’s gonna be a long night.

Yeah, I’ve been waiting for this, everyday I will pray for this.

I’m living out my dreams, my dreams, I was made for this,

It’s priceless, but I pay for this, I will pay for this.

Man, we’re living in Hell, and Hell’s hot,

The mail man keep putting the bills in the mail box.

Man, I’m so sick of being stepped on,

Wake up every day until the check come.

And when it do, you be starring at the check strong,

Like “this can’t be right, man, this check’s wrong”.

But you’re happy when the check come,

But when your rent come you’re holding on that check long.

What the fuck, man? Give me a break.

I have done so much, how much more can I take?

I’m a shooting star, I go so high, I want the lights, the cars, and all the brands.

The manager that fired me sure inspired me

To come back and start with a fire in me.

I will be whatever the fuck that I wanna be

So get in back of the line and stay away from in front of me.

Welcome to the life, city of bright lights,

I know it’s been a long road and you took the long flight,

And it’s about time something finally gone right,

So no more dreaming, ‘cause it’s gonna be a long night.

Yeah, I’ve been waiting for this, everyday I will pray for this.

I’m living out my dreams, my dreams, I was made for this,

It’s priceless, but I pay for this, I will pay for this.

I will pay for this,

My entire life I’d been waiting for this

I was waiting,

I’d been, I’d been waiting my whole life

And I think’s finally starting to go right.

Welcome to the life, city of bright lights,

I know it’s been a long road and you took the long flight,

And it’s about time something finally gone right,

So no more dreaming, ‘cause it’s gonna be a long night.

Yeah, I’ve been waiting for this, everyday I will pray for this.

I’m living out my dreams, my dreams, I was made for this,

It’s priceless, but I pay for this, I will pay for this.
