TI feat. Pharrell Goodlife Lyrics

Chorus][T.I.]I keep telling myselfMan I'm
living the good life[Pharrell]I'm living the
good life[2X]I'm on top of the worldI'm on top of the world[2X][T.I.]I was born into poverty raised I the sewerageStreets
always would be a part of me, it made me the truestAnd
even when my days were the bluestI never ran from
adversity, instead I ran to itFear ain't in the heart
of me I learned just do itYou get courage in your fears
right after you go through itNow I come through in a Coupe
on 22sThat ain't bad for a n____ who ain't even
finish schoolDon't get me wrong I never been a
foolI just put off graduating for a pair of tennis
shoesI used to use the beat to paint my painBut
nowadays man I can't complainI got several
automobiles and they all on thangsSeveral size of tangent
and they all in one chainUsed to see me in the mall
I'm the sameAnd get a couple broads giving brain on
the plane[Chorus][Common]I come
from Chi-Town lost and found in the struggleWhere dudes
say stay safe and stay out of troubleSpeak is m___ed the
law and B gon try to cuff youThose with duffles move
weight and have musclesI came through the dirt with a
verse for the peopleOpen up for Daddy Kane and Easy up at
the RegalThe radio rarely put their needle on my recordThey ain't see how the hood and heaven were connectedSounds projected, ain't show how effectiveLessons
learned, sessions turned to life reflectedAnd everything I
found real in life know I kept itThey say life's a
teacher, you're gonna get testedWhen a n____ changed
they keep saying that n____ strangeCouldn't see how
my mind won't be the lameAhead of my time I caught up
with the gameMaking good music making paper making
change[Chorus][T.I.]I put on
gasoline drawers I stood in the fireWith enough heat to
set the hood on fireMan you n____z think Suge was off the
wireYou should've seen the squad before I had
MessiahWe a__umed the t__le as the number one supplierFelt like I was selling blow since I was in diapersAnd
wish a n____ would come try usWe was cool with the
killers, best friends with the lifersQuick to up and scrap
with n____z who want to denyFor what we considered then as
a lucrative empireBut like that pimping time flash by
youNow I wonder what the judge think as he reading my
priorsPrison ain't full and the reefer ain't
biasYou ain't got to tell and distant the liarsGave the jail hell and shot birds at the hearseLived
through worse and reversed the curse[Chorus]
