From the outside lookin in, pictures on the internet
You be thinkin all I do is chill and live large
Gotta save what you made when you tour
cause it's August and I ain't made a dollar since March
Shit'll make you go create a Kickstart page
Dark days homie, I was really hit hard
Last year, spent 25 grand
tryin to help my best friend beat a serious charge
Me and my fiancée been engaged, but to help him with his case
I was dippin in the paper that I saved
for the wedding and the family ain't chip in shit
So I'm payin for the caterer, the cake - everything
And the date's comin soon, money doin down payments
and all the arrangements are made
Even though we're goin broke, so excited to get married
Everything felt great for a change
Plus I had some tour dates up in Canada
And the wedding's one month away, that'll help to support us
Out of nowhere my world got rocked
with some girl I was gettin blackmailed and extorted
Wouldn't pay her so my lady had to deal with her as torment
Right before the wedding and it ruined it
Honeymoon room with a gorgeous view, can't enjoy it
We was thinkin we was gonna start to live a good life

[Chorus 2X: Rittz]
Who doesn't wanna live a good life?
One day I'm gonna live a good life
Shit ain't as easy as it look like
Why the fuck is it so hard to live a good life?

[Rittz]
It's a cruel world when you don't have a day job
Need to take a vacation
Instead we got a room at the Aloft for a few days
Chef Chad hooked us up at the Rafain Steakhouse
Feelin great now
My lady said it was okay if I went to bed
She stayed up, got drunk by herself
Had one too many, tried to walk, fell and hit her head
Good thing I went to check on her cause she was unconscious
and drenched in blood, I look and I could see the white meat
People starin while the paramedics push her through the lobby
Now they in the hospital hookin her to IV's
Sittin there drunk inside a M.R.E.
While they staplin her head then she got a CAT scan
Came back and they said they found a hemorrhage
on her brain, and explained how bad her condition is
"We were havin dinner, this gotta be a dream
She just fell, now you're tellin us her death may come
in a matter of some months?" We were cryin
Sayin that we love each other and I wish we woulda just stayed home
The nurse came back and had said "Good news
My fault, must've read the X-ray wrong
That your brain's okay, you should both slow down
If you don't then you won't live long and have a good life"

[Chorus]

[Rittz]
Gotta separate your homies
from your business partners and it's hard to
Several times severed ties with my friends
who had done a contract and I'm caught up in a lawsuit
My lawyer said I'm gonna take a loss in the courtroom
Gotta settle it and pay 'em like you got loot
Conflict of interest comes with the business
Argues are endless, tryna figure out who double-crossed who
Followed by the devil in a costume
Thought you knew I loved food, cookin is my plan B
Now the doctor tell me what I can and I can't eat
Said I'd have a heart attack tellin me I can't drink
Can't think without a pill, panickin I can't breathe
Pop a Xanex on the couch, me and my wife both
no job, no drive, both dyin, both drinkin
Watchin time fly by, but we both die slow
Thought the money woulda changed us
We was broke but we mope when we both know we lucky we alive
Always wanted to be famous
Wonder when we're gonna wake up, appreciate the luxuries of life
And it doesn't take a genius
to see that drugs and alcohol took its toll, done it one too many times
Gettin drunk and took a dive, like fuck if I survive
I don't wanna die, I just wanna try to live a good life

[Chorus]

[Outro: Rittz]
Good life!
Good life!
...
Good life!
