[Chorus: Deuce Deuce]
Most say you ain't got a good life, 'til you make it out the hood right
Find yourself a good wife
See my kids grow old
My house a happy home, a happy home
Most say you ain't got a good life, 'til you make it out the hood right
So long as shit been cooked white
My business tight, my family life right, my mom right
It's out of sight

[Verse 1: Young Noble]
Yeah, I plan, plot strategize, I'm focused and healthy (Yeah)
Tryin' to win in this game from the cards God dealt me (C'mon)
You ain't gotta like me but you gotta respect me (Gotta respect me)
Stand on my own, need nobody to help me (Nobody to help me)
I'm blessed, but I'm stressed, got me blowin' on that purple
I buy my daughter eythang she want from the commercial
Patience is a virtue, it came full circle
Stick to the fam, keep them lames out ya circle
Tryna live the good life, visions of a cracked vial (Cracked vial)
Stuck in the hood life, livin' under black clouds (Clouds)
Grind hard, find God, in these evil times
They want a piece of mine, I just want a lil peace of mind
But it seem so hard to find, the good die young
They couldn't call God in time, man
Every second breathing is a blessin'
My music is my confession, n***a listen to the message
[Chorus: Deuce Deuce]
Most say you ain't got a good life, 'til you make it out the hood right
Find yourself a good wife
See my kids grow old
My house a happy home, a happy home
Most say you ain't got a good life, 'til you make it out the hood right
So long as shit been cooked white
My business tight, my family life right, my mom right
It's out of sight

[Verse 2: E.D.I. Mean]
These days, life is good, I can't complain (Uh uh)
'Cause if balance is the challenge, then I'm doin my thing (Uh huh)
Lot of n***as couldn't maintain (Nope), When the rain came
All of a sudden they numbers changed, man they split like tight jeans
The night seem crucial
The lil homie would do you if you was here then you would move too (Yup)
When your pockets got right (Right)
No more clutchin' on your heater, when you stopped a the light (Hey!)
Still it ain't all about the cash, 'cause even when money problems still exist, happiness is this
Stayin' true to you at all times
Sincerely yours the hope dealer, the pleasure's all mine
Yeah Uh huh
'Sincerely yours the hope dealer
Pleasure's all mine
Still in the midst of all this stress and pain
Livin' the good life
[Chorus: Deuce Deuce]
Most say you ain't got a good life, 'til you make it out the hood right
Find yourself a good wife
See my kids grow old
My house a happy home, a happy home
Most say you ain't got a good life, 'til you make it out the hood right
So long as shit been cooked white
My business tight, my family life right, my mom right
It's out of sight

[Verse 3: Deuce Deuce]
Caught up in the wrong, tryna do right
This can't be life
When from daytime chippin', late night flippin'
A man on a mission, I ain't perfect, fall down man I'm slippin
Losin' focus, from my narcs I'm dippin'
All along I have my vision, a home to call my own
No picket fence, but this don't make sense on a park bench
To a cell, then back to a corner scroungin'
Stuck in public housin' I never get out
I'm tryna figure it out, my hearts in it but my mind's tellin me to get out
Just like a fiend addicted, I'm no different
My seeds need to eat, tummy rumblin'
A good dad, I'm always there to comfort them
Sum'n I never had, it feels good huggin' them
Tellin' them it's gonna be alright in due time
The pain and rain will turn to sunshine
So focused until I get mines, I ain't hopeless
A happy home, pops say sally gone
What have karma thrown, sum'n to call my own
My very own, treat the mother of my kids much better
We got kids and that's forever
Let's make it last forever, no one can take it away
Brighter days, bright days, bright days, bright days
