Goodlife (feat. Pharrell & Common)

I keep telling myself

Man, I'm living the good life

I'm living the good life, yeah

I keep telling myself

Man, I'm living the good life

I'm living the good life

I'm on top of the world

I'm on top of the world

I'm on top of the world

I'm on top of the world

On top of the world

I'm on top of the world

I was born into poverty raise I the sewage

Streets always would be a part of me

They made me the truest

And even when my days were the bluest

I never ran from adversity, instead I ran to it

Fear ain't in the heart of me, I learned just do it

You get courage from your fears right after you go through it

Now I come through it a Coupe on 22s

That ain't bad for a **** who ain't even finish school

Don't get me wrong, I never been a fool

I just put off graduating for a pair of tennis shoes

I used to use the beats to paint my pain

But nowadays man I can't complain

I got several automobiles and they all on thangs

Several size of solitares and they all in one chain

They used to see me in the mall, I'm the same

And gettin' brains from a couple of broads  on the plane

I keep telling myself

Man, I'm living the good life

I'm living the good life, yeah

I keep telling myself

Man, I'm living the good life

I'm living the good life

I'm on top of the world

On top of the world

I'm on top of the world

I'm on top of the world

On top of the world

I'm on top of the world shorty

I come from Chi-Town, lost and found in the struggle

Where dudes say stay safe and stay out of trouble

Speakers muffled the law and BMs try to cuff you

Those with duffles move weight and have muscles

I ducked through the dirt with a verse for the people

Openin' for Daddy Kane and Easy up at the Regal

The radio rarely put they needle on my record

They ain't see how the hood and heaven were connected

Sales projected, ain't show how effective

Lessons learned, sessions turned to life reflected

And everything I found real in life, yo, I kept it

They say life's a teacher, you're gonna get tested

When a **** changed, they kept saying that **** strange

They couldn't see, had my mind on bigger things

Ahead of my time, now I've caught up with the game

Making good music, making paper, making change

I keep telling myself

Man, I'm living the good life

I'm living the good life, yeah

I keep telling myself

Man, I'm living the good life

I'm living the good life

I'm on top of the world

On top of the world

I'm on top of the world

I'm on top of the world

On top of the world

I'm on top of the world, shawty

Gasoline drawers on, stood in the fire

With enough heat to set the hood on fire

Man you **** think Suge was off the wire

You should've seen the squad before I had Messiah

We assumed the title as the number one supplier

Felt like I was selling blow since I was in diapers

And we wished a **** would come try us

We were cool with the killers, best friends with the lifers

Quick to up and strap if a **** who wanna deny us

For what we considered then as a lucrative empire

But like that, pimping time flash by ya

Now I wonder what the judge think as he reading my priors

'Cause prisons ain't full and the reaper ain't biased

'Anybody tell you any different's a damn liar

Gave the jail hell, shot birds at the hearse

Lived through worse and reversed the curse, hey

I keep telling myself

Man, I'm living the good life

I'm living the good life, yeah

I keep telling myself

Man, I'm living the good life

I'm living the good life

I'm on top of the world

On top of the world

I'm on top of the world

I'm on top of the world

On top of the world

I'm on top of the world
