Spit shit literal; straight forward syllables
Making homes for these words; beats hospitable
Looking at my life, shit's a miracle
Came through all of that - struggles formidable
Childhood was paddling out, struggling against the waves
Puberty was waiting for the right break, just a waiting game
Teenage years were dropping in, grit my teeth and be brave
Twenties, I've been surfing this break, the ride of life insane
My reward for digging out of an early grave - I'm coasting
And I'm just saying how I feel - I'm not boasting
Things got extra real when I met Toast and
I haven't looked back like my demons are proposing
Bad memories are just that: memories
I don't let them cloud my vision and get at me
You gotta overcome your past eventually
Or your seed will follow in your footsteps - tail of a centipede
I was told I wouldn't live this long
Twenty years past their estimate so I guess they were dead wrong
I used to dwell on it; I should've been dead and gone
But last year I learnt that wasn't the case all along
Now what? Life isn't a blessing?
Change the way I live my life and just become a 'yes man'
Always tried to do my best and keep 'em guessing
Do my own thing even with the peer pressuring
Now I count my blessings, raise my kids and pay my taxes
Life carries on, the world spins upon it's axis
I'm looking at my friends and their stresses - I'm relaxing
Do I feel bad for them or just reach a hand in?
I can't feel bad for the things I have, the life I have
The kids I have, the wife I have
These are the trade off for the life I've had
Had to work hard not to end up like my Dad
Now he's cleaned up his life and we're both in a better place
We've both put in work to put behind all those bitter days
So my kids can look up to us in our better ways
Truthfully my whole family is in a better phase
So, I feel for you my brother - hold your head and kia kaha
I know first hand life can be a motherfucker
But you're coming from the right place and got good karma
You've got a good heart to overcome these little dramas
It won't happen overnight bro - Rachel Hunter
But I got your back like you had mine when we were younger
Sometimes you gotta just grab the world by the jugular
Step up, take a stand and put all your problems under ya
I've got to live my life - not cause I don't care
But cause it took a lot of sacrifice to get here
I've got to live my life - not cause I don't care
But cause it took a lot of sacrifice to get here

You have framed your landscape of success 
Sharp lines achieved, all painted in a rush
I had to plant the seeds to watch them grow
Before I sketched or even held a brush
And my success is a curved Monet - Study my masterpiece a while
A palette with colours you'll never see
Like the curve of her hips or my son's dawn smile

You have framed your landscape of success 
Sharp lines achieved all painted in a rush
I had to plant the seeds to watch them grow
Before I sketched or even held a brush
And my success is a curved Monet - Study my masterpiece a while
A palette with colours you'll never see
Like the curve of her hips or my son's dawn smile - yeah
Or my son's dawn smile

It took a lot of sacrifice just to get here - yeah
For the life of me, just to get here
For the life of me, just to get here
It took a lot of sacrifice
Just to get here, just to get here
