Lyrics
LIVE IT (OR LIVE WITH IT)
(Timothy Brickley and David Rheins)
You got to live it
or live with it
Do it
or do without
Be it
or be above it
You got to get up
to get out
If you’re down in the ghetto
or out on the farm
whether you’re deep in depression
or merely not moving along
There’s something I have to tell you
my motto, a real truth
it takes muscle to beat they system
you got to stand up to stand out
Now pleasure isn’t easy
and a good time comes at a cost
A lover means conflict
But conflicts aren’t all lost
You gotta break eggs to eat breakfast
Kill cows to eat meat
You’ve got to break flesh to make babies
Break sweat to beat the heat
I get tired of impatience
anxious just sitting around
God helps those ambitious
And I won’t be left out
Copyright 1986, Timothy Brickley & David Rheins.
