This positivity-filled track off of Left Eye’s 2001 album Supernova involves an anti-suicide message and provides as a motivating song for those that forget how fun life can be.
The song focuses on the simile that life and a park are similar. One may have their bad/down moments, but one must rise w...
[Intro]
A ha ha ha
Whoa whoa whoa whoa
Whoa whoa yeah
What is life
To live is to believe
To love
Is to receive (yeah yeah)
Uh
Check it out
Check it out now (my life)
Come on (your life)
Yeah yeah
Yeah yeah
Yeah
Uh huh (ah)
What what what what
Life life life life
Life life
Yeah yeah (yeah)
[Verse 1]
Young woman confused
Young woman abused
You must understand
It's never too late
To lose who you are
And choose who you are supposed to be
Supposed to become
You've been in and out
Up and down
Back and forth
Backwards around
Not a friend
Not a mother not a father
Just God
And you should make a choice
What you ought to do
What matters most
Who you are to you
Opinions
Of the old and young
Shouldn't matter to you
Take advice
Think it over twice (twice)
Make a choice
That helps you sleep at night
It's decent
But recently
Things have shown us
We have done the wrong things often
Never suicide
That's the easy route
There's always another way out
Think about it
[Hook: Carl Thomas]
Life is like a park
Seesaws merry-go-round (Uh huh)
And thought you may swing high (High)
Sometimes you may even fall down (May even fall down)
And thought you may get stuck (Uh oh, Uh oh)
You must get back up (Get up)
You are bloomin' love
[Verse 2]
Now see if you went through life
With your eyes closed
You never would've known
There was a high road
Let people get the best of you
And get mad at them
Instead of bein' mad at yourself
You're only number one in your life (your life)
And you will decide
If it goes right (goes right)
Every time you digress
Defeat your progress
Feed you knowledge
But you must digest
The controversy yo
Can get personal
They don't understand
's at the role reversal
Seekin' fame
Play their games
Gave a whole lot
For a whole little game
When push comes to shove
Do you push or shove?
When the choice is yours
Do you leave or love?
All the tears you cried
You're dyin' inside
When will you decide to survive?
Think about it
[Hook: Carl Thomas]
Life is like a park
Seesaws merry-go-round (Uh huh)
And thought you may swing high (High)
Sometimes you may even fall down (May even fall down)
And thought you may get stuck (Uh oh, Uh oh)
You must get back up (Get up)
You are bloomin' love
Life is like a park
Seesaws merry-go-round (Uh huh)
And thought you may swing high (High)
Sometimes you may even fall down (May even fall down)
And thought you may get stuck (Uh oh, Uh oh)
You must get back up (Get up)
You are bloomin' love
[Bridge: Carl Thomas]
Clap your hands
This evenin'
Everybody
Clap your hands
Why don't you
Clap your hands everybody
Everybody clap your hands
Why don't you clap your hands
For Left Eye
Everybody clap your hands
Why don't you clap your hands everybody
Everybody clap your hands ya'll
Clap your hands ya'll
Oh clap your hands
If you believe it
Clap your hands
Bloomin' love
[Hook]
Life is like a park
Seesaws merry-go-round (Uh huh)
And thought you may swing high (High)
Sometimes you may even fall down (May even fall down)
And thought you may get stuck (Uh oh, Uh oh)
You must get back up (Get up)
You are bloomin' love
[Outro: Carl Thomas]
Sometimes you may fall down (Life, life, life)
But you gotta get back up
And try it again
Try it again
And try it again
Try it again
And try it again
And try it again
