yesterday i was told
i wouldn't make it, didn't have the heart
would never see the finish line, why'd i even start
took it with a grain of salt from guys on the sidelines
every hero needs a villian, you can play the part
cuz today i did everything the doubters might fear
this morning i gave my haters nightmares
when i woke up, still right here
hear 'em cryin, supply 'em wit a bib and a high chair
yea, so you can stand and reject
when opportunity knock i put my hands round it neck
then squeeze 'til it ran outta breath
or police put ya mans in arrest or the answer is yes...
i made it, just when they said i never could
goin places even i thought i never would
lookin back on the times where i shoulda died
here i stand, i survived, and i'm feelin
good!
[1:00]
as the days come, and they fly by
thats the way it goes when u have a good time
keep the glasses high, livin the good life
yea i'm feelin myself and i'm feelin
goooood
dont worry bout me, i'm doin just fine
look at son shine, feel like summertime
cool breeze, floatin on cloud nine
so fly, i'm never comin down, i'm feeling
goooood!
[1:20]
so despite my stresses i count blessins'
couple years ago i'da reversed that sentence
now i come home to a hero's welcome
tho the peers dont like it they still gon respect 'em
when they witness public displays of affection
compared to my last, you'll see i'm all about progression
birthday presents, exchange 'em in kind
a couple wristwatches, just to pass time
and she's all mine, nothin that i'll ever share
you can tell i'm the only one my momma ever beared
she's a strike, and you braggin bout a couple spares
... see how that compares in the tenth frame
heh, the more things change the more they don't
i'm still tryina ride the waves and stay afloat
no longer on a boogieboard, now i'm on a boat
no anchors, i can just coast, i'm feelin
goooood!

tryina bring me down i wont have that
where i'm from's a bucket of somethin from joes crab shack
that's a joke and those i laugh at
as i add cash figures i'mma need mathematicians
plus i got riches on top that supply
... see i got things that money can't buy
i withdraw every time i look into her eyes
or get appreciation from those whom i provide
i seen hard times plenty friends turn enemies
and childhood friends get lost mentally
but one thing i never lost was my family
so i'm thankful for everyday that they stand with me
cuz i know most than most
here today, gone tomorrow, you wont see it approach
so i keep 'em close, keep foes at a distance
hence the smile i'm presentin, feelin
goooood!
