had a decent job and a place to sleep

and i worked long hours to earn my keep

but i survived, and it wasnt so bad

the things that made me mad now make me laugh

had a two bedroom condo, a modest home

far from a king sitting on a throne

didnt have a girl but it might have been tougher

had a circle of friends who cared about each other

looking back it wasnt so bad at all

had my eye on this cutie but never had the balls

to ask her out, shit like that bugs me

beacause i cant go back, just keep wondering

i worked full time, laced beats on the side

cut a couple tracks that people seemed to like

didnt have a car but had a decent bike

rode the bitch everywhere, it was pretty tight

had a lil money in the bank, it could have been worse

paid my light bill and mortgage on the first

relaxing after work, just strummin a guitar

at the time i thought they were but it wasnt so hard



i dont rememebr it all, just the little things

like the cool breeze a summer storm brings

little bullshit like a story someone told

the ways someones eyes glanced when i spoke

getting drunk as fuck, acting dumb with my people

causin trouble, man some of that shit was evil

when a pretty girl walked by and you catch a scent

of perfume or lotion and she smiled as she went

the taste of good grub or at least shit thats decent

a gene and judes dog, grandstand pizza

when you try to get a pop from a vending machine

put in your coins, hit the button and get one for free

heat in the summer and snow in the december

fallin on your ass at least once every winter

i guess i copped out and paid the penalty

dont know where i am now, just have my memories

the date of birth or death doesnt have meaning

its the events that transpire between em

little things, good or bad, wrong or right

man i fuckin miss it, damn i miss the life

didnt get it when i was in it, now i miss the life

but you cant go back so you better do it right

people, places, things, memories and in between it

eat it, drink it, sleep it, love it, live it, feel it
