[Verse 1] I 've often wondered how long it 's gonna take me In this world until the good Lord shake me And to the man I put up with mad sorrow But I learned soon the sun still shines tomorrow Sometimes bad thoughts they brought me down Growin up hard livin ' poor side of town Cause where I was I wondered who will ever need me? But now I know that much love flew freely My momma my poppa both took care No matter what I did I knew they would be there Ball in the school yard puppy love crushes Mischief in the nightime with intimate touches Playin ' with the females Christmas was cool Didn 't have much but had enough fool So here 's three cheers beers up and take a chug Cause this one 's for all the past times I dug [Chorus] Even though most of all my life was bad I reminisce on all the good times I had Even though most of all my life was bad I reminisce on all the good times I had Even though most of all my life was bad I reminisce on all the good times I had So if you think all of your life was bad Reminisce on all the good times you had [Verse 2] Well it was once upon a time in the seventies a baby boy bounces Placed on this earth wayin ' seven and some ounces But that wasn 't all of the bouncin ' It was hard for mom to try to keep the proper housin ' Straight from Gardena before my sista Linda Migrated to the East Side projects Maravilla There I had my stroll on Rigin ' Elementary Moms a quarter century pop left us on empty But that was nothin ' new though packin up our shit so We could make the move Cudahay was the zip code Moms working fingers to the bone just to make ends meat I was a latch key delinquent daily runnin ' the street And every time I look back I think of just anotha challenge Holidays and birthdays grim still I managed To key a smile making life fun And how can I forget about the seasons in the sun? So here 's three cheers beer up and take a chug Cause this one 's for all the past times I dug [Chorus] |
