[Verse 1]
I've been caught up in the moment
I've been moving state to state
I'm not sure what's heavier
What's on my mind or on my plate
But we gonna be okay
Yeah, we gonna be okay
I still care about being loyal and I always paid a price
I won't let 'em take advantage cause I'm way too fucking nice
No way
Enough is enough, enough is enough
I've had enough, I've had enough, I've had enough

[Pre-Chorus]
If there's one thing I've learned, is that it's up to me
If there's one thing I've learned, is that it's up to me

[Chorus]
If it's my life then nobody gonna tell me how to live it
They can't see the way I see it through my eyes
See nobody gonna know just what they're missing
'Cause it's my life
If it's my life, ain't nobody gonna tell me how to live it
They can't see the way I see it, through my eyes
See nobody gonna know just what they're missing
'Cause it's my life

[Verse 2]
No time for loving, my boy spazzin'
My heart cold, but I got warm passion
I'm not an eagle, but I soar past him
I got money coming, that's a Forbes-gasm
Honestly, I only sorta miss you
They cool but we more official
And I act up, but I gas up
On the right side, I got pouring issues
Keep to myself, keep it simple
Keep 'em guessing what I really am
[?]
I skrt off with my skirt on
Dream about me when you can't sleep
Play my shit when you can't think
Neck icy, I'm too anemic
Take control like I'm lucid dreaming
Lucid dreaming, lucid dreaming
Lucid dreaming, lucid dreaming
If a nigga give me one more reason
Fly away like I'm lucid dreaming

[Bridge]
Fly away like I'm lucid dreaming
Lucid dreaming
Fly away like I'm lucid dreaming
Lucid dreaming

[Pre-Chorus]
If there's one thing I've learned, is that it's up to me
If there's one thing I've learned, is that it's up to me

[Chorus]
If it's my life then nobody gonna tell me how to live it
They can't see the way I see it, through my eyes
See nobody gonna know just what they're missing
'Cause it's my life
If it's my life, ain't nobody gonna tell me how to live it
They can't see the way I see it, through my eyes
See nobody gonna know just what they're missing
'Cause it's my life

[Interlude: Spoken Sample]
When lucidity occurs the dreamer suddenly realizes that they are dreaming. And this awareness allows them to control what goes. The same can be achieved in the conscious world, the mind can manifest reality

[Chorus]
If it's my life
They can't see the way I see it, through my eyes
See nobody gonna know just what they're missing
'Cause it's my life
If it's my life
What’s life without a little danger? We’ll be gone so long, everyone’s a stranger
They can't see the way I see it, through my eyes
See nobody gonna know just what they're missing
'Cause it's my life

Tinashe

Tinashe Jorgenson Kachingwe, known mononymously as Tinashe, is an American singer-songwriter, actress, dancer, and former model born in Lexington, Kentucky and raised in Los Angeles, California.

Born on February 6, 1993, her rise to fame began with her acting on shows such as Two and a Half Men. Initially making her debut in the music industry via the short-lived girl group The Stunners—which also featured Hayley Kiyoko—she garnered attention from online music blogs with her 2012 mixtape, In Case We Die. Signing with RCA Records shortly after, she released two further mixtapes later that year and in 2013: Reverie and Black Water respectively. “2 On” was released in January 2014 as the lead single from her debut album, Aquarius, and remains her biggest solo single to date. Released in October that year, the album was praised by critics for its merging of old-school R&B sounds and fresh 2010s trends. The follow-up was subjected to much-criticised although “Player” was billed as the collection’s lead single as early as October 2015, songs released from the project failed to reach the label’s expectations, resulting in the release of an album’s worth of outtakes from the album, Nightride, in November 2016. Joyride was finally released on April 13: it features the singles “No Drama”, “Faded Love” and “Me So Bad”.

On February 18, 2019, Tinashe parted ways with her longtime record label RCA. By November that year, she inked a new management deal with Roc Nation and self-released Songs for You, her fourth studio album.
