You're only getting one life, so live it up
One life, la-la-la-la-la-la-la, la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
All you get is one life, so live it up
One life
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la

[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, Kelly Rowland & Both]
Uh, yeah, while looking at the old me
And thinking back on stuff that all my teachers told me (Uh-huh)
You know it put that fire in my eyes
And though I'm blind to the future, I'ma do it 'cause I owe me (Huh)
You know, this grind is my religion, got tired of modest livin'
Survival was my upbringing (Oh)
Uh (Oh), 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, ayy

[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 (One life)
I keep my feet upon the ground (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
