Ilyas Mao
Life of This World
Chorus:
I hear you calling my name
Mornings and nights
Live for the money and fame
I know it aint right
They say this life is a game
You lose when you die
You say that you love me but damn
I know it’s a lie

Verse 1:
Can’t get you out of my mind
And I don’t know why
You ain’t no good for me
Lord knows I’ve tried
And I know that this is wrong
But it feels so right
The life of this world
Holding me tight

Bridge:
Wake up and what do you know
Everything is gone
I was deceived!
Told me that I was the one
How could I be so dumb
And really believe?
Every lie that she said
Went straight into my head
I was naïve!
She got me living in jail
Waiting for me to exhale
But now I’m free
From the life of this world
From the life of this world
Chorus:
I hear you calling my name
Mornings and nights
Live for the money and fame
I know it ain’t right
They say this life is a game
You lose when you die
You say that you love me but damn
I know it’s a lie

Verse 2:
They say that love is blind
But now I can see
All the games you played
Lies and deceit!
But really who’s to blame?
Is it you or me?
All you did was call
And I ran happily

Bridge 2
And No! I aint playing no more!
You better walk out that door
This is goodbye!
I know I’ve been here before
This time I wont let go
I will survive
Gotta give up on my own
Fighting my Nafs in a war
I’ll still alive
Putting my trust in my Lord
There’s nowhere else to go
But up to the sky
From the life of this world
From the life of this world
Chorus:
I hear you calling my name
Mornings and nights
Live for the money and fame
I know it aint right
They say this life is a game
You lose when you die
You say that you love me but damn
I know it’s a lie
