[Intro: Blu]

Yeah, [laughs] this is the story

Of wealth, cash, whips, chips, bitches and blunts

Must be the good life right?

Check this yo...

[Verse 1: Blu]

I got a call from my girl last week

She telling me about that time of the month and how it may not come

Dropped the phone right before she said I might have a son

And I started asking God how come

I got dreams I ain't reached yet – ends that ain't meet yet

When it comes to being a man, shit I'm barely getting my feet wet

Trying to hit reset knee deep in debt

Trying to figure how to feed a mouth that ain't got teeth yet

How the hell am I gonna show a child to be a man

When I'm twenty-two without a clue on how to take a stand

Against this system when it's just us, wanna show him justice

But last year I was just in cuffs

What the fuck am I supposed to do when he's telling me 'Dad I need some food?'

I'm looking down at my stomach and mine is grumbling too

What can I tell him when he's twenty-two

And he's asking me what the fuck I was thinking when mommy's tummy grew?

Was I scared, was I getting prepared?

Or did I even think of leaving her without a father's care?

Should I tell him that it's hell here and life ain't fair?

Or should I try to make a change when he's pulling on my leg?

(Show me) and he keeps on telling me to

[Hook: Aloe Blacc & Joseph]

Show me

(Show me the good life)

Show me

(Show me the good)

[Verse 2: Aloe Blacc]

Won't somebody show me there's a few things my poppa never told me

Maybe cause the stone still rolling, no moss yet

It's a few things my momma never told me to mold me

But her soul is so golden the way she floss it

And I ain't mad at their secrets though

It's a hard sell to tell a young child about your deepest low

But I done seen through they weakness so

I understand a little bit on how the defeat can slow

You so, far down that you meekness grow

And everyday gets colder when the breezes blow

Grand momma sat me down and said, 'you need to know

Boy you a little light in this world, let your heat just glow

Have patience some things take time

And ain't no limit to the goals that you could hold in your mind'

Lift the soul when you crying 'till you reach the gates of heaven

Like your chariot is carrying children who going blind

And you going to get their sight back, when all they see is night black

Believe in everything that you doing and just like that

Things will happen for you, keep shining them rays

It's bright enough to spread grace over a million graves

Over a million slaves to bring honor to the elders

Who held us away from danger when the danger would have killed us

They never failed us but they souls have peace

And follow in their steps, you got brothers to keep

In this good life

[Hook: Aloe Blacc & Joseph]

[Verse 3: Blu]

Check it out, it's so much I can show you

Without rolling through Beverly Hills

Without money, cars, clothes, or even ecstasy pills

I don't need weed to ease me when I'm stressing for real

I just close my eyes and try to think how heaven feels

Just to feel good again, even though I know when I open them

It's back to the hood again, where kids hold chrome with them

Just to feel protected, cause the videos are showing them

How to shoot fools and take their dough from them

That's why I try to give my soul to them in lyrics I spit

They rejected cause they stressing for material shit

They're getting sick and tired of fighting over serial gifts

Cause they notice bitches go head over heels for the whips

And the chains, and the chips, and the range and the clips

In the guns and the women and the fun living in cribs in the burbs

Fuck the slums, they want funds and they heard flippin' birds is

The ticket and they get it and run with it

Some slip and fall, others pause see the outcome and crawl

On the road for some change, cause the game is too hard

To play straight by the rules

I'm trying to stay out the news

And make cake to buy food

Fuck jewels I think my soul glows bright enough

And fuck whips I learn more when I ride the bus

And fuck gold it's bad enough that we fight for bucks

And fuck hoes cause in the end I need a wife to love

Plus heaven is the life for us so God...
