[Verse 1 - Brother Ali] Ant check this out I'm the luckiest son of a bitch that ever lived, I spend life doin shit I love Got the world's most beautiful kids and don't nobody do it like us Sunday morning play Al Green, make pancakes and watch cartoons Sometimes get to change that scene, catch a plane and see somewhere new Just got married last year, treated so good that it ain't even fair Already got a boy, now the baby girl's here, bought us a house like the Berenstain Bears Not two years ago I was homeless, I mean crashin on the couch of my homies Now I'm crashin on the couch with Conan, signed a mortgage and bought my home, shit Should of seen when they handed me the keys, I still couldn't believe that it was mine Like "baby hurry up let's leave, before these damn people change their mind" Ha, and shit what can I say? I would have made these damn songs anyway Some of y'all still listen to 'em everyday, beautiful thing, I bow my hand and pray
[Chorus - Brother Ali] - 2X - w/ ad libs I love the life I live, my laughter and my tears I don't know where it's goin but I like it like it is
[Verse 2 - Brother Ali] Uh, I get a lot of love in my hometown, twin cities, y'all know how it go down Same club where Prince shot "Purple Rain", advertise my name and it's sold out I'm surrounded by greatness, my loved ones are amazin Sometimes I look in their faces and just think of the lives they're changin And I don't just mean Rhymesayers, my son's grandmother quit freebasin Desiree got eight years straight, now that right there cause for celebration Ah, I'm so happy for her, we used to fight like cats and dogs But she ain't even mad that I left her daughter she calls me her son, so that's my mama
[Chorus] - w/ ad libs
[Verse 3 - Brother Ali] Ah, keep it goin now All my life I had this music, my heroes have all saluted I don't need y'all to like my new shit, them dudes are the reason I do this I done did so much cool shit, lived a lifetime in the last two years Got the memories to prove it, look what a dude who ain't even graduate high school did Ha, used to always be the new kid, laughed at 'cause I never used to pull chicks Now I turn down more girls than them rich ass pitiful ball playin fools get Sometimes I smile so wide, I think about the dreams that I've lived Shit even if I died tonight y'all, I'm the luckiest son bitch that ever lived
