[Chorus]

You only get to live once

So don't act like you'll get this again, yeah

Won't hold my tongue, nah

I'm not the type to pretend, yeah

Smoking my lungs, yeah

Hit the blunt then I ascend, yeah

Then I ascend, yeah

I keep pushing to the end, yeah

You only get to live once

So don't act like you'll get this again, yeah

Won't hold my tongue, nah

I'm not the type to pretend, yeah

Smoking my lungs, yeah

Hit the blunt then I ascend, yeah

Then I ascend, yеah

I keep pushing to the end, yeah


[Verse: 1]

I keep pushing to thе end

They keep pushing back

Where do I begin

Ever since a kid, coolin' with my kin

Always knew that Imma find a way to win

Even when it don't go as I planned

And I fall out with a few friends

While I had to struggle just to make some ends meet

Tryna find a way to pay the rent, shit

Since I quit my job

I knew then that it was time to collect them M's

Don't wanna type right from nine to five again

I've seen life through a psychedelic lens

I got this light deep inside, that's within

Shine so bright even blind men can see it

And it allows me to write and sing these hooks

That it hard like Mike Tyson in the gym


[Bridge]

Look this can't be taught, yeah

This can't be bought

This just came straight from the heart

Straight from the gods, overcame all of the odds

This here is far from the fraud

Look this can't be taught, yeah

(Yeah, cause it came from the heart)

This can't be bought, yeah

(Yeah, when it came from the gods)


[Chorus]

You only get to live once

So don't act like you'll get this again, yeah

Won't hold my tongue, nah

I'm not the type to pretend, yeah

Smoking my lungs, yeah

Hit the blunt then I ascend, yeah

Then I ascend, yeah

I keep pushing to the end, yeah

You only get to live once

So don't act like you'll get this again, yeah

Won't hold my tongue, nah

I'm not the type to pretend, yeah

Smoking my lungs, yeah

Hit the blunt then I ascend, yeah

Then I ascend, yeah

I keep pushing to the end, yeah


[Verse 2]

I just keep (keep pushing)

I just keep pushing, pushing

Cannot find no sleep

It keeps me up all night

Chasing my dreams instead, yeah

Now I'm aiming for the head, yeah

Cause I'm killing everything I make

'Till I make a killing godbless

Finally (I got it)

Now if you looking for a lick better just keep (keep looking)

They don't even realise I'm a threat, yeah

I'm demanding their respect, yeah

Cause I'm nothing like the next

They're still playing checkers while I'm playing chess

(Checkmate, nigga)

In this life anything goes

So you better just fend for yourself

Niggas gettin' killed right at the road

I'm just tryna live in the moment

At the same time plan for tomorrow

At the same time business is business

I cut you off like there ain't no tomorrow

Feels like deja vu, all them things I do

Just to get that, just to have that

Just to impress you, only if you knew

All them things I do, you would get that

You would have that, have it all times two


[Chorus]

You only get to live once

So don't act like you'll get this again, yeah

Won't hold my tongue, nah

I'm not the type to pretend, yeah

Smoking my lungs, yeah

Hit the blunt then I ascend, yeah

Then I ascend, yeah

I keep pushing to the end, yeah

You only get to live once

So don't act like you'll get this again, yeah

Won't hold my tongue, nah

I'm not the type to pretend, yeah

Smoking my lungs, yeah

Hit the blunt then I ascend, yeah

Then I ascend, yeah

I keep pushing to the end, yeah
