It's A Good Life

[Verse 1: Kota the Friend]

My whole life a vacation, I don't react to inflation

I'm still eatin' off of records that I wrote in my basement

I got a butterfly garden, it's how I know that I made it

I see the hummingbirds daily, that shit is so underrated

The sun floodin' my crib, garage cover my whip

There ain't a lot of items left that I got on my list

And while them hoes out here watchin' what I got on my wrist

I got a chick that's only watchin' what I got on my grits

I got a crew of real niggas standin' solid as shit

Only focused on the shit I got the power to fix

I told 'em people they don't gotta give me flowers, it's cool

I got hibiscus and some jasmine, you could scour and pick

I could die today, know that I embrace the rain on my parade

Know that I am happy with the messages that I convey

Kept my mouth shut if I ain't really have a lot to say

Met an Arab chick, got me goin' through a soccer phase

Niggas out here havin' fun, gettin' bread and actin' up

Give a different meaning to the turn of phrase "Pass the buck"

I could see a hater from afar and still dap him up

Hope he see the light, I'm tryna tell 'em people

[Chorus: Kota the Friend & Samara Cyn]

It's a good life, know you worth somethin'

It ain't a bad day, it just hurts some

Fuck the rat race, live your purpose

Do not lose hope, keep on workin'

It's a good life, know you worth somethin'

It ain't a bad day, it just hurts some

Fuck the rat race, live your purpose

Do not lose hope, keep on workin' (Woah)

[Verse 2: Samara Cyn]

And, yeah, I know that water flows where I been plantin' seeds

I'm the bee's knees, bitch, I'm the bee's knees

Fuck you mean, G's? (Bitch)

I'm a hit, you hate on me, you get a nosebleed

I'm solider than science, stronger than they bias

Words heavier than metal and y'all know y'all low on iron

Fake friends have retired, mostly I'm admired

Steppin' in this new, got more power than Mike Myers

Good friends, good skin, good life, good gin

Good at sayin' goodbyes, fat pockets with no gym (Ha)

All drip with no wrist (Yeah), no niggas, just good men (Mm)

And bitch he cheated with trade him with four kids, good riddance

Pain and pleasure, friend or foe, find peace, which way it go

Pray for stronger shoulders and stop frettin' 'bout that workload

Man, the sun sets outside my window

And even when it leaves, the sun rises outside my window

[Chorus: Kota the Friend, Samara Cyn & Both]

It's a good life, know you worth somethin' (I got two windows)

It ain't a bad day, it just hurts some

Fuck the rat race, live your purpose

Do not lose hope, keep on workin'

It's a good life, know you worth somethin'

It ain't a bad day, it just hurts some

Fuck the rat race, live your purpose

Do not lose hope, keep on workin'

[Verse 3: Kota the Friend]

Pour some liquor out for my homies in the afterlife

Cozy in my house, I ain't never life a rapper life

People try me every day, but I don't even have to fight

I just go above 'em, show 'em what effective action like

We done did the 9-to-5s, hands sittin' ten and two

Cousin doin' five to ten, lotta shit we gettin' through

Used to make a dollar stretch

Amex spendin', stay independent, it make a lotta sense

Gratitude jar on swole, nigga

The love still warmin' up the house, but the home bigger

I don't need a firearm, I don't got no triggers

A lot of cold switches, but I'd rather be GloRilla

I share blunts with the local heroes and known killers

Got a well full of blessings

Uncle told me, "If somebody give you hell, show 'em heaven"

That's his real life

That's really all he knows, where he from, that's how it goes

That's why everywhere I go, I try to tell 'em

[Chorus: Kota the Friend]

It's a good life, know you worth somethin'

It ain't a bad day, it just hurts some

Fuck the rat race, live your purpose

Do not lose hope, keep on workin'

It's a good life, know you worth somethin'

It ain't a bad day, it just hurts some

Fuck the rat race, live your purpose

Do not lose hope, keep on workin'

[Outro]

Yes, it's officially Sunday, everybody, we have a full day of good energy

The sun is out, grandma's cookin' breakfast, couldn't ask for more

There's even a block party on Tompkins Ave, Bed-Stuy, Brooklyn

So check that out if you're nearby

Over here, we are sending love to everyone listening, wherever you are

New York to LA, Ghana to Sudan, London to Chicago

Today is all about love

And shout out to the late great bell hooks

As Kota the Friend said, we're dodgin' bad vibes like skrrt

Well, we'll be back with the weather after these messages
