C’est La Vie Lyrics

[Chorus]
Finally feelin' free for the night, I got no worries
Finally got a claim on my life, baby, c'est la vie
I got plenty trees for the flight
Think I'll stay a while, I think I'll stay a while
Ah, baby, stay with me

Finally feelin' free for the night, I got no worries
Finally got a claim on my life, baby, c'est la vie
I got plenty trees for the flight
Think I'll stay a while, I think I'll stay a while
Ah, baby, stay with me

[Verse 1]
It's now or never
'Cause I'm leavin' the city at dawn
I'm chasing good weather (Weather, weather)
I got lots of cash on me, they'll never find us
Skippin' all the cracks and leave it all behind us ('Hind us, 'hind us, all behind us)
Never and I like it
You ain't seen nothin' (You ain't seen nothin' yet)
Never really ever stop, makin' money on the low
I been on my VVS, I be on my head to toe

[Chorus]
I'm finally feelin' free for the night, I got no worries
Finally got a claim on my life, baby, c'est la vie
I got plenty trees for the flight
Think I'll stay over, I think I'll stay over
Ah, baby, stay with me
Finally feelin' free for the night, I got no worries
Finally got a claim on my life, baby, c'est la vie
I got plenty trees for the flight
Think I'll stay a while, I think I'll stay a while
Ah, baby, stay with me
Baby, stay with me
[Outro]
Baby, stay with me
Stay with me
Stay with me
Stay with me
Stay with me
Stay with me
Stay with me
Stay with me
Stay with me

  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
