Aside from just a few broken hearts

I never had any complaints, no

I'd better be grateful

Instead of falling like that

Over everything and walking around hating

And

You better realize that too

So here's a toast

To my life and your lives too

Because you're living too

And any day could be the last

So give everything, just don't quit

Give and take, right?

Right, so you'll get it back

You give nothing? No biggie, I do, my back, turned

Toward you and I no longer have your back

But you know better

No underhand jab could hit me, so small

I dodge the sea urchins

If I step on them, it's on your toes, touché man

Stop tiptoeing and live a little

Anyway I won't forget it after this verse

Safi baby

Why would you stress?

Actually, what does it matter?

Wanna live or just exist?

The choice is yours, so make it

And just make the best of it

You'll figure it out

Wanna live or just exist?

What I'm saying now is for you and me

Being happy is priority

So if they tear you down, man, let them live

Their mindset drags them down

And between us, put yourself above them

Let them try. Show them it won't work for them

You're not air, you know that just as well

You exist to show how one must live

Must live

So try to smile even if you're hungover

And try to make the best of a sh*tty day

Forget those people who point behind your back

Talk when you're gone but stay quiet near you. The wimps

Always the same song

Big mouth but in the end they fall to their knees

With excuses like: sorry, I know I went too far

But by then you've already forgotten what it was about

So why?

Why would you stress?

Actually, what does it matter?

Wanna live or just exist?

The choice is yours, so make it

And just make the best of it

You'll figure it out

Wanna live or just exist?

Why would you stress?

Actually, what does it matter?

Wanna live or just exist?

The choice is yours, so make it

And just make the best of it

You'll figure it out

Wanna live or just exist?

Live or just exist?

Leven Of Bestaan is a feel-good anthem where Belgian rappers Safi & Spreej, joined by Domè, raise a glass to the simple fact that we are alive. Over a laid-back yet energizing beat, they look back on broken hearts and rough patches but decide gratitude beats complaining every single time. The track flips between playful bravado and heartfelt advice: give more than you take, shrug off haters, watch karma do its work, and remember that today could always be the last day, so why waste it on negativity?

The chorus poses the big question — Do you want to live, or just exist? — and the verses hand you the tools to answer it. Prioritize happiness, laugh even when you are tired, and stand taller than the people trying to pull you down. In short, the song is a motivational pep-talk packed into three minutes of catchy flows: choose joy, stay real, and make the very best of every moment.
