about

This is just a simple track that I made a few weeks ago, using an instrumental that I created about a year or so ago, long before I transferred my things onto my second laptop.

I have a mixtape in the works and I might put this song on there once it's done, but I'm not entirely certain if I will or not. I hope you all enjoy this song regardless.

lyrics

[Verse 1]

If I saw a shooting star fly above my head,
I'd make a wish upon that star before I go to bed.
If I could, then I would do this music for life,
I'm in my early 20's, I've got plenty of time.
I've been working hard on my beats and my music.
I know that I've got a talent with me, I can prove it!
In this music studio, nearly every single day,
Working at my lyric craft, using every method paved.

Parents worry 'bout me, sayin' I should get a job,
But this will BE my job and I know it won't be long
Until I get signed and put upon a label,
Then I can craft and share all of my fables
With the public eye and I'll get a lot of money
I'll prove my doubters wrong and live my life comfy.
But I gotta work hard, I know that is true,
'Cause I know my dreams will come true real soon.

[Hook 1]

Life's a stage and to live's a performance.
Once I get famous, my life will be sorted.
No more worrying, no more stresses,
Just a happy life! I won't regret this!

I know I'll make it somewhere with my music!
I know if I take my talent and use it,
I'll be signed and life will be golden.
If life is a puzzle, then fame will solve it!

[Verse 2]

If I saw a shooting star fly above my head,
I'd make a wish upon that star before I go to bed.
I've grown up since then, I've got a new vision,
I'm in my late 20's, a good life's my mission.
I admit it would be nice if I had some fame,
But if I never make it, then I know I'll be okay;
As long as I have my job, my friends and family,
I can still live my one life with some majesty

I have a steady income now with my employment,
I don't do music for fame or wealth, just enjoyment.
Used to think about the fame, while my music gets around,
Nowadays I think about my future and I settle down,
And be happy with all the things that I've got now.
I'm sure some of you will understand what I'm on about.
'Cause fame isn't everything, sometimes you don't need it.
Like you do happiness and good health, believe it.

[Hook 2]

Life's a stage and to live's a performance.
Once I settle down, my life will be sorted.
No more worrying, no more stresses,
Just a happy life, I won't regret this.

I know I've got one life and it's so amazing.
I know I cannot go ahead and just waste it.
If I stay happy, then life will be golden.
Life is a puzzle, in time I will solve it.
