LRYICS:
Chorus 2x
Life, is like a bumpy road with a lotta stop signs
I don’t know why, so just make the most of your ride

Verse 1: Jon Tarifa
August 10, 1983
I came into this world without knowing it would be
so difficult, the childhood of this little dude
was pitiful, there’s been a few bitterful, mistakes

but somehow life was beautiful
a troublesome young one, I know I’ve been a full
in principle, I’ve believed in miracles
since I left the motherland before going to middle school

But, time told me to tell myself time would tell
It’s out of my hands, it’s in the hands of time itself
and I could dwell for days on the days when I was twelve
when life was good as new, no one but me when I was beside myself

looking at the bright side despite the hurdles
hadn’t been around for long enough to move in circles
from Albania to the US then to the Netherlands
a global citizen, capable of great benevolence

now, my city considers me a musical veteran
I do it for my people, can’t complain I got it better than
I ever thought I’d have it, got rid of my bad habits
and just kept rapping, the present is a gift

so I’m a start unwrapping, enjoy it while it lasts
instead of looking back I’m moving forward to the future past
paving the way to a new day
life is like a long thruway..

Chorus 2x
Life, is like a bumpy road with a lotta stop signs
I don’t know why, so just make the most of your ride

Verse 2: KAS
It all started back in 92,
The year I was born, when I ain’t had a clue
Right before my parents immigrated to Sweden,
They searched for a meaning, a better life they were seeking, with just a bag or two

And I will never know what they’ve been through,
My mom was pregnant with me, life was supposed to get simple
As a man, my father always had his family priorities
So he decided leaving from the Serbian authorities

But I don’t wanna go there
All you need to know is my family went somewhere from nowhere
It’s so brave, sacrificing everything for me to have it okay
If it wasn’t for them, I probably I wouldn’t be here… in Norway

Heavy winds, it’s been a bumpy ride
But you know I’m from a place where the eagles fly
My father told me life is do or die
So even if I fall each time, still I gotta try

My adolescence’s kind of taught me lessons
I swear to God I started rapping since I was 11
I was a rebel, till I learned that my words are my weapons
That’s why I’m 100 percent real on a record

It’s a blessing, I feel special
I think I know the answer to my question
I wanna generate some hope for the hopeless
I’m here for a reason, I’m the voice of the voiceless, KAS

Chorus 2x
Life, is like a bumpy road with a lotta stop signs
I don’t know why, so just make the most of your ride
