Good Life Lyrics

It was a small town

Where I grew up

But then it blew up

Swallowed by the city

It was a culture clash

And it kicked my ass

I strive for peace

But I've got violence in me

So I drifted down to the Southside

Where I got tangled up in everything

But now I'm all grown up

And trying to stay alive

So stay far from me with your weapons and your gangs

Cause it's a good life

That we can build here

A good life that we can create

I'm trying to wise up

I'm trying to see clear

Maybe someday soon I'll get my head on straight

It’s been a long time

Since I’ve been back

to that hell

That tried to stifle me

Blood stained memories

How they haunt my dreams

I begged for peace

When they forced violence on me

One day I left there I never looked back

Kept my head up and tried to chase my dreams

Now I know who I am now I am my own man and no one can take that from me

Cause it's a good life

That we can build here

A good life that we can create

I'm trying to wise up

I'm trying to see clear

Maybe someday soon I'll get my head on straight
