Life Is Good [Deluxe Edition]

2012

How it all started, fifth floor apartment
A jigsaw puzzle aerial view of the projects
A kid saw struggle, buried a few of his partners
Now chill in

but he
Ain't out to change no rules
His eyes can't see like you and me
His voice can't speak but only shriek
His brain it is like jelly
His muscles they

Planet Earth is just a myth
The origin of life lies here with us

[Chorus: x2]

(Lifting off) it's such a passionate high
No sense in passing it by
I'm like Inspectah Deck; the clouds are so far relaxed in

When others see with earthly eyes
Just what they want to see
You will see the things that never die
You will know and recognize
By simple child-like

Then form a face, and shake my skull cap 
Dismiss the myth, that evil is not black

I think I'm on to something
Can't see what it is
Could be trying to make something from nothing
Trying to prove the myth

Aye!
