Lyrics of 'Dragon' by Kota The Friend

Yeah, yeah, yeah

People say there's more to life
Than getting rich and walking right
Graduate from nine to five
Sit and watch the time go by
I don't really know, that may be it all
It could be the whole thing
I do what I want, I go where I please
But still I want more things
I let lost people run my life
Sing these songs, it's all I got
Lost myself to a part I play
Now I'm just sad and my head hurt
Ain't no wet foot, I go head first
Hit the fork and I took a left turn
Learning that I had to do it my way
And before it gets better, it's gon' get worse

You better live for the right now
And throw a smile on your face
The good things in your life now
Do not let 'em go to waste
If I could give you some advice now
Appreciate what you have
'Cause if you lost it all right now
I betcha you'd be in your bag
Girl, you better bask in that daylight
Mama told me " Boy, fix your face right
And if you keep whining, I promise
I'll give you good reason to cry "

Life's short, don't waste time
Got a good girl, gotta make time
Gotta throw the ego to the wayside
Show love, you ain't gotta say why, nah
Don't waste time
Got a good girl, gotta make time
Gotta throw the ego to the wayside
Show love, you ain't gotta say why, no, no

I used to want to be up on the music blogs
I used to want to sign a deal with Interscope
I used to want to be up in the illest cars
With the baddest women and the illest hoes
And the mad Benz, on the cal, with the ceiling off
Looking at my ex-girl, walking as I'm peeling off
Camera pan close up on her face and she's still in awe
I may not have a million but I'm chillin' dog
And if I could go back, I would say to him
Just focus on your spirit and you'll make it, kid
And do right by the women that you make it with
Taking her for granted, she's someone you should be patient with
Get your mama flowers, even when she get you mad mad
And people backstab, be careful and keep a trash bag
Skip the fast cash, be knowledgeable, that's the bag bag
Polish all your skills, set your price, then you tax that
Even if you independent no man is an island
And do not put your stock in fresh trends and diamonds
And if you treat her good, she won't think about your wallet
You could put a rock on her finger, don't make you solid

You better live for the right now
And throw a smile on your face
The good things in your life now
Do not let 'em go to waste
If I could give you some advice now
Appreciate what you have
'Cause if you lost it all right now
I betcha you'd be in your bag
Girl, you better bask in that daylight
Mama told me " Boy, fix your face right
And if you keep whining, I promise
I'll give you good reason to cry "

Life's short, don't waste time
Got a good girl, gotta make time
Gotta throw the ego to the wayside
Show love, you ain't gotta say why, no, no
