Life Experience

Intro

Check it out yo’
Life… uh…
Check it out yo’

Verse One

Yo, check it…
When I hit thirty I thought my life would get a lot easier
Accumulated knowledge from the world like Wikipedia
I felt that I had learned enough to hardly make mistakes
And move towards my future having minimal complaints
But I was incorrect, because the struggle got real
More money, more problems? Less money, more bills
And just like everyone else I had dreams
Of owning properties and always traveling overseas
And eating in the finest restaurants from London to Paris
But then I stopped to ask myself what does this really mean?
And is there something in between the lines that I am overlooking?
Found that someone that was deep inside and now I overtook him
See after many years of contemplation and reflection
I figured out the most important thing was my connection
To the people in my life and it began to make sense
Cos’ you can’t put a price on life experience.... I said

Chorus (x2)

You can’t put a price on life experience
You can’t put a price on life experience
You can’t put a price on life experience
I said you can’t put a price on life experience

Verse Two

When I hit forty, I found I had a lot more inner peace
Thinking more about my words like it’s an after dinner speech
And I accept that I don't have to understand the universe
And it can take time for difficulties to reverse
And there’s nobody born with a bag of promises
So life can start one way then finish opposite
So it’s important that we get to know who we are
So we can be prepared for seasons that are truly harsh
They say a lot can be learned from hard times
If you memorize and recall the lesson like hard drives
I can do what everyone does that’s no sweat
But I’ll probably only get what everybody gets
So I don’t stand with the crowd for crowd sake
Oblivious to everything, but feeling like now I’m safe
That ain’t the case, ay’ yo’ 100 man, that doesn’t make sense
Cos’ you can’t put a price on life experience

Chorus
