lyrics

[Verse 1: Sk]

If the devil bargained my soul for fame and a million dollars
I'd probably tell him no 'cause of all the children who'd follow
And if he upped the ante to tempt me with more bucks
As an emcee I know better my voice is enough, yeah
See all these tones and these rhythms
Reflect our desire to achieve better livin'
Nothing but development within ya'
Your inner mind-frame with right change and time change in your vision
Your mission, it's distant, it's like Apollo nine
In the land of opportunities and profits and dollar signs
We're the chosen to work like kings
Attire yourself with suits and ties and rings
I hope for you to never compromise your character
For some ego-filled caricature
See, there's no better candidate for the good life but you
And if you keep it authentic that's just how you do, babe

[Bridge]

And I ain't trying to give them nothing but me
See I ain't trying to give them nothing but me
I ain't trying to give them nothing but me
I ain't trying to give them nothing but me
And I hope you give them nothing but you
I hope you give them nothing but you
I hope within everything in me
I hope you give them everything in you
You, you, you, you, you, you, you
Ride... ride....ride..... that's the one

[Chorus Part 1: Ellie]

If we ever get out of this place young and alive
All our friends they will envy us, pockets deep and wide
If we ever get famous of our record sales
Fill up your album store shelves, we did it all ourselves
If we ever get out there on them radio waves
I'm gonna go and demand my money, swear to God I'm going to get paid
If we ever get out there on that television screen
I'm gonna sign to some major label, I'm going to get my green

[Chorus Part 2]
I want the good life, the good life, the good life
Good living for me
I want the good life, the good life, the good life
Good living for me
And in this good life, this beautiful life
Everyone's living in ease
I want the good life, the good life, the good life
Good living for me, me, me, me, me, me, me

[Verse 2: Sk]
If you take something from this I hope it's challenge
I challenge you to find the greed and selflessness balance
I challenge you to get off those blue and yellow drugs
Expand your mind out before you reach for the stuff
But, if that's what you love I hope you make the best of it
I hope within your routine you find excellence
And I whole-heartedly hope that's concrete proof
That you should give em nothing but you, you, you, you

[Bridge]

And I ain't trying to give them nothing but me
See I ain't trying to give them nothing but me
I ain't trying to give them nothing but me
I ain't trying to give them nothing but me
And I hope you give them nothing but you
I hope you give them nothing but you
I hope within everything in me
I hope you give them everything in you, you, you, you, you, you

[Chorus 2: Ellie]
If we ever get out of this place young and alive
All our friends they will envy us, pockets deep and wide
If we ever get famous off our record sales
Fill up your album store shelves, we did it all ourselves

I want the good life, the good life, the good life
Good living for me
I want the good life, the good life, the good life
That good living for me
And in this good life, this beautiful life
Everyone's living in ease
I want the good life, the good life, the good life
Good living for me

[Outro: Ellie]
I want the good life, the good life, the good life
Good living for me
I want the good life, the good life, the good life
Good living for me
