The Good Life

[Intro] We can live it........ We can live it, that good life Yeah, so we can live it Yeah, that good life That good life Now, we can live it Yeah, we can live it Yeah, good life [Verse 1: Lecrae] What he need God for? He got money to the Heavens Never pulled a 187, but he preach it like a reverend Never satisfied with second Except for second home, second car Second woman his own, second bottle from the bar Good life, even though he got it, he don't get it Cause he living for the moment, but this moment has an ending Matter fact, it's been a minute, all he see is pretty women Big lights big names, in a minute that'll change... BANG! Caught up in an all-consuming flame All alone, still rejecting Jesus' Name Even if he could change he would never do it Grandma told him 'bout living water, he prefer the sewage He don't know why he do it, desire just enslaved him Addicted to himself, do whatever just to praise him Give himself the money, pleasure and treasure that'll rust When he traded his eternity for 20 years of lust [Hook: J.Paul] Where the bottles go pop, models go shop Everyone knows who you are But then the lights turn on, curtains fall off You see it all was false But that's the good life Lights, camera, action Where is the satisfaction? Good life... Black diamonds and gold Living highest when you live on the low [Verse 2: Lecrae] I take the narrow route, that speedway's a monster It's all good, I go to sleep without a guilty conscience For that they call me conscious, but I'm very conscious Of what I'm missing, I ain't tripping on the girls in VIP Fronting for each other They actin' like they something that they not, they undercover Trying to get under covers, but one day they'll discover They gave parts of themselves away that they'll never recover A part time lover, took a full-time pay God please show her mercy, her affliction's here to stay She just found out she pregnant and the child has been infected (my Lord) What's worse is that, she'll never meet the guy that she rejected The one that can protect her, comfort her to the grave And resurrect her body to live with Jesus who saves Can't say that God ain't love her, she wanted to be a slave This is a crew master, leaving 'em full of pain But hey this is the good life.... [Hook] [Verse 3: Lecrae] 50 years from now, he may be full of gray hair, beard long And even closer to a home that he's never known Right now his home facing 25-to life Sitting in the county jail, court appointed lawyer like If this case is Tina Turner, homie, I am not Ike Got his momma crying daily but she praying every night Only 20 but there's plenty that he's paying with his rights Thought he got a life sentence but he really got life He done read that bible twice Been in plenty fights, sleepless nights But when he trusted Christ you could see that change overnight Knew he'd die in prison but was living for another life Every time his lights out he closer to the other side Partners on the outside think he found religion as a Coping mechanism when he say the Lord's risen Now he lay awake in prison, praying for his homies in the streets Cause truth is, he's free-er than they gon' ever be.... [Hook] [Outro] We can live it, that good life Yeah, so we can live it Yeah, that good life That good life Now, we can live it Yeah, we can live it Yeah, we can live it Yeah, good life
