Good Day

(album: Dream People & The Whiskey Wars - 2015)

Graduated Honors
Never went to college
Everything I learned
Was from a biker and my father
I moved out at seventeen
My parents were the enemies
I was working out a lot and wrestling
I was a celebrity in every tense
Selling dope and everything
Then I got a real job and buried all the evidence
Too many girls for one boy to manage
Fell in love a dozen times and left their hearts damaged
I remember back in school they would bully me
Hat super crooked cap with the extra baggy FUBU jeans
My best friends told me they were sick of me and spit on me
Then I kicked it on my own so no one would belittle me
Maaan... man I contemplated suicide
Then I went to high school and became the cool guy
Dated all the mean girls, partied with the loners
Made the grad speech when we all got our diplomas
I'm good

And I think it's kinda crazy
That I lived to see today
Eh-ay eh-ay whoa whoa whoa a whoa
And I think it's kinda wild that
The smile stayed on my face
Eh-ay eh-ay whoa whoa whoa a whoa
And every time I cried about it
I told myself everything would be ok
Eh-ay eh-ay whoa whoa whoa a whoa
And every time I lied about it
I would tell my mama that I had a good day
Eh-ay eh-ay whoa whoa whoa a whoa

Moved out of my hometown
Started hitting stages
Paid for some features
The prices were outrageous
Made it on my own
Now I'm Vancouver famous
Got evicted from my condo
For one too many ragers
I used to work construction in the city
I'd hide inside the outhouse write raps and smoke ciggies
I got fired from like every job I ever had
Late every day and my attitude was bad
But bought liquor with the money from the groceries
Hung out with the homies on the beach drinking coke and eat
Hung out in the dive bars broke up with my girlfriend
The only one I'd die for almost killed herself again
That's when I knew I had to bounce
Put my shit in storage and lived on my homie's couch
Toured Europe twice and made it home in bandages
Now I'm gone again and I been drinking in Los Angeles
Bitch

And I think it's kinda crazy
That I lived to see today
Eh-ay eh-ay whoa whoa whoa a whoa
And I think it's kinda wild that
The smile stayed on my face
Eh-ay eh-ay whoa whoa whoa a whoa
And every time I cried about it
I told myself everything would be ok
Eh-ay eh-ay whoa whoa whoa a whoa
And every time I lied about it
I would tell my mama that I had a good day
Eh-ay eh-ay whoa whoa whoa a whoa
When I got in a fight
I was on my ooo-oo-own
When they threatened my life
I would just run hooo-oo-ome
When they bullied me on lunch
I would hide away-aayyy-ay
When I look back on it now
There's nothing I would cha-aaa-ange
I wouldn't want it any other way

And I think it's kinda crazy
That I lived to see today
Eh-ay eh-ay whoa whoa whoa a whoa
And I think it's kinda wild that
The smile stayed on my face
Eh-ay eh-ay whoa whoa whoa a whoa
And every time I cried about it
I told myself everything would be ok
Eh-ay eh-ay whoa whoa whoa a whoa
And every time I lied about it
I would tell my mama that I had a good day
Eh-ay eh-ay whoa whoa whoa a whao-oh-oh-oh...
