[Refrain]
I spent my life making bad luck in the good times
Looking back where I was taking the good things with the bad
For all I've lost, seen this far make me realize I have
I wanna live my days in vain but very far make me smile again
Seems like a natural thing to do, just remember
[Verse 1]
Steady on my mind
Bad luck, good times
For me it happens in the morning when I'm waiting for lights
I start thinking if he wrote my script different
Pictures with the brush lets spray in this missed our existence
Never gone as far to say I wished on a star
But I could say I wished for a car
Simple traits of us, people thinking too small
Now I realize the blink of an eye, the medicine sink in us all
Sink a swim till the season is fall, then it's gone to November
But remember that December will call
Permanent, not as long as some might think
Last week I cleaned up some permanent ink
Oh, I'm on the verge of a break
There's something new before the sky might fall and earth sinks
I sat down and played the cards I'm dealt
Some good, some bad, and still the message was felt
These are good times
[Hook]
[Verse 2]
Oh it was 20/20 vision then, before the catch you and closed
The audience was listening
Oh that's the purpose of reflecting
The purpose of a wordsmith's pen bleeding ink till my sketches permanent
I put the madness to the method
Round the same time Common dropped the Resurrection cla**ic
I was still tripping off tabs of bad acid
Dreaming about my own rap disc in plastic
Selling demos back then became a lonely trail
Always got denied by the homie with the pony tail
Chalk that one up as that's part of the game, right
Looking back I'd do that sh** the same
The same time my mom was leaving my pops
Was around the same time Neil Diamond sang Love on the Rocks
Make yourself a good day cause no one will do this besides yourself
Think about those words
Each time when you're about to lose a good time
[Hook]
[Verse 3]
You never know, you never know, you never know
Good times is how I'm living it up
With my gla** half full is how I'm viewing the cup
It went from when it's over to holding on a four leaf clover
Trying to find lady luck, where she at
I'm stuck, seeing birds eye from 6'2"
So I keep getting high, trying to lift my view
It's funny how gotta pay bills can build the fan base
I love the road but ain't losing my land and that's damn straight
I make a plan and at least one I set a day
I'm not quite ike but still draw from my anime
I keep it moving and I plan to stay til the camera pans away
These are good times, I walk the street with a bye
And everything I did in the name of that high
Whether I fly or I sold a million
Got boo'ed every solitary hand up toward the ceiling
These are good times
[Hook]
