I used to be that little boy
Who always fiddled
With good and bad
Life's a joke and I would play the riddle
I would just laugh it off
The monkey in the middle
Fickle I was and did what tickled my fancy
This kiddo
Was tryin to be a man
But I just couldn't comprehend
In order to live I had to put my flesh to rest
So nighty night, Manny
Dream of grammys and mammy
Cookin’ your favorite dishes
As you wish for cameos
And I know that my life is so much better now
And it shows that I’ve grown
Your grace, it taught me how
To make the best of this life
'Cause after all it’s the only one that we got
So I’m glad I answered your call
I can't believe where you're taking me
You give me hope to believe
Now I'm living the life
(Now everybody, put your hands in the sky
We got a brand new life
To try
It feels good, don't it)
How many times I just wouldn't see
You're protecting me
Now I'm living the life
The good times
Man, they don't need wait
Because
(This is the good life)
Living
Living the life
(Living the life, y'all)
Living
Living the life
(Living the life)
They say what goes around comes around
In this merry go-round of life
I’ve paid for my mistakes more then twice
Unfortunate to have a fortune at younger life
Sparked a light to
Want things that were nice
So I spent my nights tapping on the beat machine
I lost sleep
So I wouldn’t have to lose my dreams
Chose the Light
And forgot about what Pablo needs
And since then He's met all of Pablo's needs
A better life than this is hard to believe
I don’t own a Bentley or a house in the keys
I plant seeds in the garden of eternity
So when the future comes
My life has everything it needs
It doesn’t matter where you’re from
It matters where you’re at
Let me hear ya holla back
Oh yea!
You see my life hasn’t always been
A nice bouquet of roses
I remember when we had nothing
I was left wishing and hoping
That there’s more that can make me happy
Than the life that you see on TV
But you came and you showed me
What it means to live life
In the way it was meant to be
