Living one life
You're only getting one life, so live it up
One life
All you get is one life, so live it up
One life
[Verse 1: Tshawe & Kelly Rowland]
Don’t let nobody tell you otherwise
Listen to your heart
And let your dreams fly
Never give it up, up, up
And even when you fog it up and give another try
Never give it up, up, up
You gotta beat it
And when it rains it pours just stay the course
Yeah, and even when you think nobody cares
You gotta believe it gets better
[Pre-Chorus: Kelly Rowland]
When nothings gone right
And the light just won’t brighten up
You got nothing left in your fight
Don’t you give it up yeah
[Chorus: Tshawe, Kelly Rowland, Both]
Nobody’s gonna hold me down (me down)
Ya gotta understand
We only have one life
We only have one life
I keep my feet upon the ground
I gotta realize
We only have one life
We only have one life
[Post-Chorus: Tshawe, Kelly Rowland]
We're gonna make it
We're gonna make it
Yes, we’ve gotta make it work
Yes, we’re gotta make it work
We're gonna make it
We've gonna make it
Yes, we’ve gotta make it work
Yes, we’ve gotta make it work
[Verse 2: Yosef, with Kelly Rowland]
Uh, yeah
While looking at the old me
And thinking back on stuff that all my teachers told me
You know it put that fire in my eyes
And though I'm blind to the future I'mma do it cause I owe me
You know this grind is my religion, got tired of modest livin'
Survival was my upbringing
Uh, and my sky it has no limit
My time is all I'm giving
[Pre-Chorus: Kelly Rowland]
When nothings gone right
And the light just won’t brighten up
You got nothing left in your fight
Don’t you give it up yeah
[Chorus: Tshawe, Kelly Rowland, Both]
Nobody’s gonna hold me down (me down)
Ya gotta understand
We only have one life
We only have one life
I keep my feet upon the ground
I gotta realize
We only have one life
We only have one life
[Post-Chorus: Tshawe & Kelly Rowland]
We're gonna make it
We're gonna make it
Yes, we’ve gotta make it work
Yes, we’re gotta make it work
We're gonna make it
We've gonna make it
Yes, we’ve gotta make it work
Yes, we’ve gotta make it work
