The Life

Alicia Keys

1. Everyday I realize that this might be the last day of my life
   Walkin down the streets I find (heyyyyy)
   I'm coming closer and closer to losing my mind
   Cause when it rains, it pours
   Isn't life worth more?
   I don't even know what I'm hustlin for
   You gotta do what you gotta do
   Just to make it through
   All the hard times that's gonna face you

R: /: This is the life
      (This is the life)
      Striving to survive :/
   This is the life

2. Living will always be a struggle
   Looking for someone true to love you
   Looking back I see all the horrors
   This madness makes me wanna hide
   I watch slowly, internally
   I'm dying
   Pillowcases wet from all my crying
   Cause there is nothing more to be here for
   Take me away
   I can't live that life no more

R: This is the life... (4x)

   This is the life
   Yeah (6x)
