The good life, one day that's what I'll be livin' 
Fantasy never hurt nobody, whatever chills the illin' 
When the every day gets on your last one 
Give it up and go 
2 the place in everyone's future 
The good life - one day we'll know (Good life) 

Everyday after school, you know where 2 find this brother 
Uptown at every movie show, outta my life 2 another 
That was the only thing that I wanted 2 do, that was my drug of choice 
Left all the funny smellin' cigarettes 2 the American boys 

"La Dolce Vita" was the knob that turned me on 
Marcello Mastroianni Italian Mac comin' on strong 
He had all the honies, the kind from the magazines 
Small waist, big - right!... biggest ones you've ever seen 

The good life (good life), one day that's what I'll be livin' 
Fantasy never hurt nobody, whatever chills the illin' 
When the every day gets on your last one 
Give it up and go 
2 the place in everyone's future 
The good life - one day we'll know, one day we'll know 
(Good life) {x2} 

Mama worked all night, went 2 school by day 
Wanted 2 get her Master Degree so she could make a better way 
Set examples 4 her babies that we'll never forget 
That's where I guess my spirit comes from, eternally never met 

Oh, the good life (good life), one day that's what I'll be livin' 
Fantasy never hurt nobody, whatever chills the illin' (Ooh, good life) 
When the every day gets on your last one 
Give it up and go 
2 the place in everyone's future (The good life) 
The good life - one day we'll know 

(Good life) 
Good life {x2} 
Good life (Good life) 

Hey, hey, hey! 
Peace 2 the mother that knows 
That the babies are the key 2 the world, key 2 the world 
The battles of the future will be won 
By those who teach those baby boys and girls 
This is our plea 2 the brothers 
Who are tired of the barely gettin' by, instead you should try 
2 see your future map out your steps 
And make sure no one dies 

The good life (good), one day that's what I'll be livin' 
Fantasy never hurt nobody, whatever chills the illin' 
(One drop of blood ain't worth forsaking your dreams) 
When the everyday gets on your last one, give it up and go 
(Music, sports, fashion, whatever) 
2 the place in everyone's future, the good life - one day we'll know 
(Consolidate, think ahead, and cream, cream) 

The good life (good life), one day that's what I'll be livin' 
Fantasy never hurt nobody, whatever chills the illin' (Hey yeah, good life) 
When the every day gets on your last one 
Give it up and go (Good life, oh) 
2 the place in everyone's future 
The good life - one day we'll know 

New Power Generation (Good life) 
Tryin' 2 lead the Good Life (One day we'll know) 
Oh yeah, oh Lord 
Good life (Good life) 
The good life 
Good life (Good life) 
The good life (Good life) 

Good life (good life), one day that's what I'll be livin' 
Fantasy never hurt nobody, whatever chills the illin' 
When the every day gets on your last one 
Give it up and go 
2 the place in everyone's future 
The good life - one day we'll know 

Good Life {repeated} 

Good life (Good life) 
The good life (Good life) {x3} 
One day we'll know
