Good Life - Nappy Roots, Rizzi Myers

I’m dreaming of a good life, of a good life

I’m dreaming of a good life, of a good life

I wrote down a plan, wit a couple objectives

Focus on myself, put my life in perspective

Take none of it for granted, watch Where you steppin'

Look out for snakes, and don’t shit, where you slept at

Is what I wrote down in my notepad

Life comes fast, look up your an old head

Laughing at the good times they weren’t so bad

Made it out the bullshit, for that, I’m so glad

I had to take it like, a grown man

One day at a time, until it soaked in

To float, had to let go, Old Friends

One door closed, then another one, opened… I strolled in

But that was way back when

Fast forward 10, A little faith, mixed in

Add a lot of focus, some carpe diem

I’m hoping, for a better living, let it begin

I’m sayin'

I’m dreaming of a good life, of a good life

I’m dreaming of a good life, of a good life

Life… can be so up

But yet so down

Even when it slow up

The world goes round

And you grow up

And then lose people you love

Say they looking from above

Everyday I raise a cup

Unc look this for us

Every day I give thanks

For the hands that do what I can’t

People died so I can live

So really the least I could give

I was happy growing up Po

Cause I Really didn’t even know it

Parents had to be stoic

Thru the hard times they didn’t show it

All of my life I been po'

But I don’t wanna struggle no mo'

Try to make songs about hope

Cuz I don’t wanna quit rap and sell dope

Tryna get a piece of this good life

Tired of us living this hood life

Too many people lovin' that bull scheisse

When really Nappy’s what they should like

But Brenda keeps having them babies

Outlaws still living that thug life

Bro’s still behind the fence on death row

Course you know I’m not talkin' bout Suge Knight

See I don’t got time for the bad vibes

So I’ma stay blessed like gesundheit

The haters gonna tell you keep dreaming

So gone and dream of that good life

That good life, good life

Gimme some of that good life

That good life, that good life

Dreaming of that good life

Gimme some of that good

Gimme some of that good

Gimme some of that good, good

Gimme some of that good life

Baby

I’m dreaming

I’m dreaming of a good life
