The Basketball Diaries movie - What a Life lyrics

Song by Rockers Hi-Fi<br /><br>

Yeah, everybody gonna say yeah<br>

Big Daddy boutya<br>

<br>

Didn't know where, didn't know when<br>

Just asked to answer at ten<br>

To the local go-learn<br>

Put up my hand, wait my turn<br>

But it never comes, I have to shout out<br>

That's life and that's what it's all about<br>

So through the comfort and the strife<br>

What a life<br>

<br>

Life, the ultimate stage<br>

Learning to act from a very early age<br>

Nothing is wrong 'cause nothing is right<br>

Living your life, that's the ultimate fight now<br>

I've grown a bit since ten<br>

Even though I look back now and then<br>

There were good times, there were bad<br>

Some serious living to be had<br>

No ties, some lies, and now and then some strife<br>

Yeah, oh, yeah<br>

What a life<br>

<br>

Sometimes to look ahead, you need to look back<br>

So you know where you're going and you're on the right track<br>

So never lose your vision, displace your goal<br>

Keep it running, don't allow it to get cold<br>

<br>

And there in the distance<br>

Where you can cut it without a knife<br>

Can you feel it, can you hear it, oh, yeah<br>

What a life<br>

<br>

Do you feel in yourself that it's time to go<br>

Live a life to lead, not go with the flow<br>

And bring yourself to a promised land<br>

In a world of choice, one you understand<br>

You can be the narrator<br>

Never the destroyer, more the creator<br>

Like a scientist, explore your mind<br>

Whether in a collage bar or standing on the front line<br>

And through all the discomfort and through all the strife<br>

Yeah, you know it<br>

What a life<br>

<br>

Original rockers on the case<br>

Large, but not too in your face<br>

Plenty of rhythm, big with the bass<br>

Take your time 'cause there's no haste<br>

To live the life you lead<br>

Live the life you lead<br>

What a life<br>

<br>

<br>

<br>
