Lyrics

[Chorus]
Like we always do at this time
I go for mine, I gots to shine
Now throw your hands up in the sky
I go, go for mine, I gots to shine
Now throw your hands up in the sky
I'ma get on this TV, Mama
I'ma, I'ma put shit down
Aye, aye, aye, aye
Aye, aye, aye, I'm good
[Verse 1]
Welcome to the good life, where **** who sell D
Won't even get pulled over in they new V
The good life, let's go on a livin' spree
Shit, they say the best things in life are free
The good life, it feel like Atlanta
It feel like LA, it feel like Miami
It feel like NY, summertime Chi', ah (Now throw your hands up in the sky)
So I roll through good
Y'all pop the trunk, I pop the hood, Ferrari
And she got the goods, and she got that ass
I got to look, sorry
Yo, it's got to be 'cause I'm seasoned
Haters gimme them salty looks, Lawry's
50 told me, go 'head, switch the style up
And if they hate, then let 'em hate
And watch the money pile up
The good life
[Chorus]
Now I, I go for mine, I got to shine
Now throw your hands up in the sky
Now I, I go for mine, I got to shine
Now throw your hands up in the sky
Aye, I'ma get on this TV, Mama
I'ma, I'ma put shit down
Aye, aye, aye, aye
Aye, aye, aye, I'm good
[Verse 2]
Welcome to the good life, where we like the girls who ain't on TV
'Cause they got more ass than the models
The good life, so keep it comin' with the bottles
'Cause she feel booze like she bombed at Apollo
The good life, it feel like Houston
It feel like Philly, it feel like DC
It feel like VA or the Bay or Yay
Aye, this is the good life
[Verse 3]
Welcome to the good life
Homie, tell me what's good
Why I only got a problem when you in the hood?
Welcome to the good life
Like I'm new in the hood
The only thing I wish, I wish a **** would
Welcome to the good life
He probably think he could, but, but I don't think he should
Welcome to the good life
50 told me, go 'head, switch the style up
And if they hate, then let 'em hate
And watch the money pile up
The good life
[Chorus]
Now I, I go for mine, I got to shine
Now throw your hands up in the sky
Now I, I go for mine, I got to shine
Now throw your hands up in the sky
Aye, I'ma get on this TV, Mama
I'ma, I'ma put shit down
Aye, aye, aye, aye
Aye, aye, aye, I'm good
[Verse 4]
Have you ever popped champagne on a plane
While gettin' some brain?
Whipped it out, she said, "I never seen Snakes on a Plane"
Whether you broke or rich, you gotta get this
Havin' money's not everything, not havin' it is
I was splurgin' on Tryst, but when I get my card back
Activated, I'm back to Vegas
'Cause I always had a passion for flashin' (Welcome to the good life)
Before I had it, I closed my eyes and imagined the good life
[Outro]
It's the good life, better than the life I lived
When I thought that I was gonna go crazy
And now my grandmama ain't the only girl callin' me, "baby"
And if you feelin' me now, then put your hands up in the sky
And let me hear you say, hey, hey
I'm good
