Song Lyrics

Come on everybody, it's about that time
Come on everybody, it's about that time
Come on everybody, it's about that time

This life is short, don't waste it
This life is what you make it
This life is short, don't waste it
This life is what you make it

Don't call it jiggy
Call it danceable
Throw out a beat to fill the dance floor
I'll be on the side just sittin' and watchin'
Happy and content vicariously rockin'
It's great to be alive and well
Still in the capitol where I reside and dwell
So tell me if you hear me loud and clearly
Reality's just a bit more near me
So we make the most of every given minute
Here's a jam for the world and the 7 billion in it
Limits we know not
Don't really want to stop
Go-getter's get what they got by goin' for it
Caught in this crazy mix over the years
Learned some tricks
Throw 'em on my records just for kicks
And it's obvious that if it's what God gives
See we gotta keep the energy positive

This life is short, don't waste it
Don't waste it, I hope that you appreciate it
This life is what you make it
What you make it, I hope that you appreciate it

This life is short, don't waste it
Don't waste it, I hope that you appreciate it
This life is what you make it
What you make it, I hope that you appreciate it

Hey, every new day brings a new day
To say thank you and relay my gratitude
For the time I've been given
Listen been given permission to embrace the rhythm
So live a little
Come on, breathe a little
Tell me, who wants me to rhyme for close-minded people?
Not I
Okay good, me neither
This here feature won't follow procedure
Instead, the forecast includes a brainstorm
With elastic thinking to help me stretch the norm
Life's too short for me to conform
Daily renewal helps me transform
And live life to the utmost
Here's a toast to the future
Faith, love and hope
And all the things that truly remain and exist
It goes a little something like, like...

This life is short, don't waste it
Don't waste it, I hope that you appreciate it
This life is what you make it
What you make it, I hope that you appreciate it

This life is short, don't waste it
Don't waste it, I hope that you appreciate it
This life is what you make it
What you make it, I hope that you appreciate it

Come on
Yeah
So, I'm thinkin' life...is...anyways...

Life's too short
To have enemies
I make no apologies for being friendly
Life's too short
To live in poverty
I'm not talking money, I'm talking mentally
Cause I've been broke and at the same time happy
I'm well aware of my history
So I approach life a little more humbly
Cause being full of yourself will leave you empty

This life is short, don't waste it
Don't waste it, I hope that you appreciate it
This life is what you make it
What you make it, I hope that you appreciate it

This life is short, don't waste it
Don't waste it, I hope that you appreciate it
This life is what you make it
What you make it, I hope that you appreciate it

This life is short, don't waste it
This life is what you make it

This life is short, don't waste it
This life is what you make it

Bump, bump, bump!
