Lyrics

Complex Simplicity

Life is just complex simplicity

Thug it out

[Verse 1:]

Everybody's worried about tomorrow

Will they see tomorrow?

I'm just tryna get mine off today

Momma said

Tomorrow ain't promised

So i'm tryna live like it's my very last day

You can't spend your life

Being in fear of all that may be

You gotta press on

You gotta be free

You gotta breathe

Inhale

Exhale

Come on

[Chorus:]

Bounce

Ohh

With me tonight

Get bold with me tonight

Put the choke up in the sky

Wave your glasses high

Cause we ain't got no choice but to party

Party it all away

We're gonna party for brighter days

Party

Cause everything's gonna be alright

[Verse 2:]

Everybody's worried bout the negative

Looking at the worst of things

I'm just tryna celebrate my life

Momma said

Be young while you can be young

Life only gets rougher

I'm just tryna keep my youth alive

I won't be held down

With all the things that happened in the past

Daddy

He wasn't there

Momma

She's gone now

I gotta be grown

I need you to hold me down

[Repeat Chorus:]

[Bridge:]

Party

All night

Don't let it get you down

It's just life

Party

(Oh, come on and party)

All night

(All night)

Don't let it get you down, babe

(Don't let it get you down)

It's just life

Oh, yeah

[Repeat Chorus:]
