| As a younger age, never really gave a shit
|
| Just my grandma arms, kept me out of harm
|
| Nigga went to class, my football pads
|
| Kept the burner stashed, they ain’t gon' catch my ass
|
| In the Pontiac with the bad speakers
|
| Back then? |
| Shit, I was into sneakers
|
| And fitted caps, side kicks
|
| My same bitch, she a down bitch
|
| Had a little daughter, glad it ain’t a boy
|
| Knew she’d bring me joy, so I named her Joy
|
| Kiss her on her head, then I kiss her lips
|
| Then I kiss her cheek, lay her down to sleep
|
| Trials and tribulations helped me through my situations
|
| Little observations stopped the cops from confrontations
|
| And the ghetto bird, and a nigga snitched
|
| But I’m still dipping, shit, I ain’t tripping
|
| I’m good, I’m good, I’m good, I’m good, I’m good…
|
| I’m good, I’m good, I’m good, I’m good, I’m good…
|
| I’m good, I’m good, I’m good, I’m good, I’m good…
|
| I’m good, I’m good, I’m good, I’m good, I’m good…

|
| (I know I’m not perfect
|
| But I’ll still make a decision that make my life still worth it, yea-ea-eahhh
|
| And sometimes it may hurt
|
| But I know what you see ain’t what it’s gon' be, cause I know my worth,
|
| yeeeaaahhhh…)
|
| Got a lil' older, nigga seen a lot of shit
|
| Been out in Boston, even got to see the Knicks
|
| I’ve been to Dallas, slap a five with the bench
|
| Back to the hood where niggas betting on the six
|
| But shit is crazy
|
| Lil' Teisha and Tamika bout to kill they babies
|
| Pregnant at the same time, and they think that shit is cute
|
| Always running from the truth, bigger dream they must pursue
|
| And they babies wasn’t in it
|
| Just going bout they business in the club
|
| She off of Guinness, adioses with the lemon
|
| V.I.P. |
| she dreams of, in the club looking for mean buzz
|
| In a dress looking distinctive
|
| Ass hanging, got that ass hanging with the biggest baller in the club
|
| Ain’t got a dub, but she want some love
|
| Wasn’t polite, but she feel it’s right (feel it’s right)
|
| Lay it down, then he dimmed the lights, played it right for the night
|
| I’m good, I’m good, I’m good, I’m good, I’m good…
|
| I’m good, I’m good, I’m good, I’m good, I’m good…
|
| I’m good, I’m good, I’m good, I’m good, I’m good…
|
| I’m good, I’m good, I’m good, I’m good, I’m good…

|
| Uh, ignorance is bliss, but to know is pain
|
| No matter what we reap, we still sow the same
|
| The concept of change is second-rate to change
|
| Either way around, the cycle still remains
|
| Out my project window, observing the wannabes blowing endo
|
| Shooting dice on the corner, big homie roll up with his kinfolk
|
| Unfold a stack on 'em like, what they hitting for?
|
| Slamming the doors on his Benzo
|
| He left the engine running, bumping something sounding like
|
| Late eighties R&B, trunk full of China white
|
| Type of nigga ladies like, known dope dealer
|
| Money, cash, hoes getter, slash stone cold killer
|
| He can’t sleep at night, his victim’s eyes piercing through his soul
|
| He wake up every time his eyes close
|
| That’s who them young boys aspire to see
|
| Underneath the palm trees, that’s who they dying to be
|
| But I’m good
|
| I’m good, I’m good, I’m good, I’m good, I’m good…
|
| I’m good, I’m good, I’m good, I’m good, I’m good…
|
| I’m good, I’m good, I’m good, I’m good, I’m good…
|
| I’m good, I’m good, I’m good, I’m good, I’m good…
