|
We can live it, we can live it, that good life |
|
Yeah, so we can live it |
|
Yeah, that good life, that good life |
|
Now we can live it, yeah, we can live it, yeah |
|
What he need |
|
God for? He got money to the heavens |
|
Never pulled a [Incomprehensible] but he preach it like a reverend |
|
Never satisfied with second, except for second home, second car second woman on his arm, second bottle from the bar |
|
Good life, even though he got it he don't get it' |
|
Cause he livin' for the moment but this moment has an ending |
|
Matter fact it's been a minute, all he see is pretty women |
|
Big lights, big names in a minute that'll change |
|
Burn, caught up in an all consuming flame |
|
All alone, still rejecting |
|
Jesus' name |
|
Even if he could change he would never do it |
|
Grandma told him about living water, he prefer the sewage |
|
He don't know why he do it, desire just enslaved him |
|
Addicted to himself, do whatever just to praise him |
|
Give himself the money, pleasure and treasure that'll rust |
|
When he traded his eternity for twenty years of lust |
|
When the bottles go pop, models go shop |
|
Everyone knows who you are |
|
But then the lights turn on, curtains fall off |
|
You see it all was false |
|
But that's the good life, lights, camera, action |
|
Where is the satisfaction? |
|
Good life, black diamonds and gold |
|
Living highest when you live on the low |
|
I take the narrow route, that speedway's a monster |
|
It's all good |
|
I go to sleep without a guilty conscience |
|
For that they call me conscious but |
|
I am very conscious |
|
Of what I am missing, |
|
I ain't trippin' on the girls in the |
|
VIPFronting for each other |
|
They are acting like they are something that they not, they undercover |
|
Trying to get under covers but one day they'll discover |
|
They gave parts of themselves away that they'll never recover |
|
A part time lover, took a full time pay |
|
God please show her mercy, her affliction's here to stay |
|
She just found out she's pregnant and the child has been infected |
|
What's worse than that, she'll never meet the guy that she rejected |
|
The one that can protect her, comfort her to the grace |
|
And resurrect her body to live with |
|
Jesus who saves |
|
Can't say that |
|
God ain't loving her, she wanted to be a slave |
|
This is a cruel master leaving them full of pain |
|
When the bottles go pop, models go shop |
|
Everyone knows who you are |
|
But then the lights turn on, curtains fall off |
|
You see it all was false |
|
But that's the good life, lights, camera, action |
|
Where is the satisfaction? |
|
Good life, black diamonds and gold |
|
Living highest when you live on the low |
|
Fifty years from now, he may be full of gray hair, beard long |
|
And even closer to a home that he's never known |
|
Right now his home's facing twenty five to life |
|
Siting in the country jail, court appointed lawyer like |
|
If this case is |
|
Tina Turner, homey, |
|
I am not Ike |
|
Got his momma crying daily but she is praying every night |
|
Only twenty but there's plenty that he's paying with his rights |
|
Thought he got a life sentence but he really got life |
|
He done read that |
|
Bible twice |
|
Been in plenty fights, sleepless nights |
|
But when he trusted |
|
Christ you could see that change overnight |
|
Knew he'd die in prison but was livin' for another life |
|
Every time his lights out he closer to the other side |
|
Partners on the outside think he found religion |
|
As a coping mechanism when he say the |
|
Lord's risen |
|
Now he lay awake in prison praying for his homies in the streets' |
|
Cause truth is he's freer that they gonna ever be |
|
When the bottles go pop, models go shop |
|
Everyone knows who you are |
|
But then the lights turn on, curtains fall off |
|
You see it all was false |
|
But that's the good life, lights, cameras, action |
|
Where is the satisfaction? |
|
Good life, black diamonds and gold |
|
Living highest when you live on the low |
|
We can live it, that good life |
|
Yeah, so we can live it |
|
Yeah, that good life, that good life |
|
Now we can live it, yeah, we can live it |
|
Yeah, we can live it, that good life |
