[Prelude] Life's too short for the small stuff (small stuff x4) So let 'em call us whatever they call us (call us x4) [Verse 1] We all gotta go someday Until that day Imma sulk Sundays Ride airplanes up and down runways And show love to the people that love me I'm not getting bothered by these little problems Or letting nonsense eat up at my conscience I'm just gonna rock this life of mine And make the most out of my time So if you don't wanna see me shine (yeah) You'll be another one I leave behind (yeah) But if you're mine Imma hold you tight (yeah) And there's no limits to what we can find (yeah) [Refrain] Rise up to occasions, enough with the patience Book off your day shift, take a vacation Life's a celebration, no validation needed But in case you need a reason [Hook] Life's too short for the small stuff So let 'em call us whatever they call us We don't wanna stare at the sun no more Stare at the sun no more Life's too short for the hatred Every worry is another thought wasted We don't wanna hide or run no more Hide or run no more We don't wanna we don't wanna stare at the sun, no We don't wanna we don't wanna hide or run, no We don't wanna we don't wanna bite our tongue no more Life's too short for the small stuff (small stuff x4) So let 'em call us whatever they call us (call us x4) [Verse 2] I'm singing so long to my enemies I'd rather hold on to my energy No no, you can bet I'm not intimidated I just focus on what counts, I'm innovative Please know I have nothing to prove
One life, one chance, and nothing to lose I refuse to follow the rules given to me, see Working in the box isn't living to me You can flow with the river or you can swim upstream You can throw in the towel or you can live your dream You can fly with the owls, you can swim in the sea As long as you find peace with the powers that be We must focus on what means the most to us Take our loved ones and squeeze 'em close to us Lift your gla** up and raise a toast to us Here's to happiness, family, health, and love Because you can always make more money But it won't help you when the sky's not sunny When the dark clouds roll, we start to glow With a brightness full of heart and soul [Refrain] Rise up to occasions, enough with the patience Book off your day shift, take a vacation Life's a celebration, no validation needed But in case you need a reason [Hook] Life's too short for the small stuff So let 'em call us whatever they call us We don't wanna stare at the sun no more Stare at the sun no more Life's too short for the hatred Every worry is another thought wasted We don't wanna hide or run no more Hide or run no more We don't wanna we don't wanna stare at the sun, no We don't wanna we don't wanna hide or run, no We don't wanna we don't wanna bite our tongue no more Life's too short for the small stuff (small stuff x4) So let 'em call us whatever they call us (call us x4) [Postlude] Life's too short for the small stuff (small stuff x4)
