[Verse 1: Blu]
9
I got a call from my girl last week
10
She telling me about that time of the month and how it may not come
11
Dropped the phone right before she said I might have a son
12
And I started asking God how come
13
I got dreams I ain't reached yet "“ ends that ain't meet yet
14
When it comes to being a man, shit I'm barely getting my feet wet
15
Trying to hit reset knee deep in debt
16
Trying to figure how to feed a mouth that ain't got teeth yet
17
How the hell am I gonna show a child to be a man
18
When I'm twenty-two without a clue on how to take a stand
19
Against this system when it's just us, wanna show him justice
20
But last year I was just in cuffs
21
What the fuck am I supposed to do when he's telling me 'Dad I need some food?'
22
I'm looking down at my stomach and mine is grumbling too
23
What can I tell him when he's twenty-two
24
And he's asking me what the fuck I was thinking when mommy's tummy grew?
25
Was I scared, was I getting prepared?
26
Or did I even think of leaving her without a father's care?
27
Should I tell him that it's hell here and life ain't fair?
28
Or should I try to make a change when he's pulling on my leg?
29
(Show me) and he keeps on telling me to
30
[Hook: Aloe Blacc & Joseph]
31
Show me
32
(Show me the good life)
33
Show me
34
(Show me the good)
35
[Verse 2: Aloe Blacc]
36
Won't somebody show me there's a few things my poppa never told me
37
Maybe cause the stone still rolling, no moss yet
38
It's a few things my momma never told me to mold me
39
But her soul is so golden the way she floss it
40
And I ain't mad at their secrets though
41
It's a hard sell to tell a young child about your deepest low
42
But I done seen through they weakness so
43
I understand a little bit on how the defeat can slow
44
You so, far down that you meekness grow
45
And everyday gets colder when the breezes blow
46
Grand momma sat me down and said, 'you need to know
47
Boy you a little light in this world, let your heat just glow
48
Have patience some things take time
49
And ain't no limit to the goals that you could hold in your mind'
50
Lift the soul when you crying 'till you reach the gates of heaven
51
Like your chariot is carrying children who going blind
52
And you going to get their sight back, when all they see is night black
53
Believe in everything that you doing and just like that
54
Things will happen for you, keep shining them rays
55
It's bright enough to spread grace over a million graves
56
Over a million slaves to bring honor to the elders
57
Who held us away from danger when the danger would have killed us
58
They never failed us but they souls have peace
59
And follow in their steps, you got brothers to keep
60
In this good life
61
[Hook: Aloe Blacc & Joseph]

[Verse 3: Blu]
63
Check it out, it's so much I can show you
64
Without rolling through Beverly Hills
65
Without money, cars, clothes, or even ecstasy pills
66
I don't need weed to ease me when I'm stressing for real
67
I just close my eyes and try to think how heaven feels
68
Just to feel good again, even though I know when I open them
69
It's back to the hood again, where kids hold chrome with them
70
Just to feel protected, cause the videos are showing them
71
How to shoot fools and take their dough from them
72
That's why I try to give my soul to them in lyrics I spit
73
They rejected cause they stressing for material shit
74
They're getting sick and tired of fighting over serial gifts
75
Cause they notice bitches go head over heels for the whips
76
And the chains, and the chips, and the range and the clips
77
In the guns and the women and the fun living in cribs in the burbs
78
Fuck the slums, they want funds and they heard flippin' birds is
79
The ticket and they get it and run with it
80
Some slip and fall, others pause see the outcome and crawl
81
On the road for some change, cause the game is too hard
82
To play straight by the rules
83
I'm trying to stay out the news
84
And make cake to buy food
85
Fuck jewels I think my soul glows bright enough
86
And fuck whips I learn more when I ride the bus
87
And fuck gold it's bad enough that we fight for bucks
88
And fuck hoes cause in the end I need a wife to love
89
Plus heaven is the life for us so God...
