[Chorus]
The good life, one day that's what I'll be livin'
Fantasy never hurt nobody, whatever chills the illin'
When the every day gets on your last one
Give it up and go
To the place in everyone's future
The good life, one day we'll know

[Refrain]
(Good life)

[Verse 1]
Everyday after school, you know where to find this brother
Uptown at every movie show, outta my life to another
That was the only thing that I wanted to do, that was my drug of choice
Left all the funny smellin' cigarettes to the American boys

"La Dolce Vita" was the knob that turned me on
Marcello Mastroianni Italian Mac comin' on strong
He had all the honies, the kind from the magazines
Small waist, big -- right!-- bigggest ones you've ever seen

[Chorus]
The good life, one day that's what I'll be livin'
Fantasy never hurt nobody, whatever chills the illin'
When the every day gets on your last one
Give it up and go
To the place in everyone's future
The good life, one day we'll know
(One day we'll know)
(Good life)
(Good life)
[Verse 3]
Mama worked all night, went to school by day
Wanted to get her Master Degree so she could make a better way
Set examples for her babies that we'll never forget
That's where I guess my spirit comes from, eternally never met

[Chorus]
Oh, the good life
(Good life)
One day that's what I'll be livin'
Fantasy never hurt nobody, whatever chills the illin'
(Ooh, good life)
When the every day gets on your last one
Give it up and go
To the place in everyone's future
(The good life)
The good life - one day we'll know

[Refrain]
(Good life)
Good life
Good life
Good life
(Good life)

[Verse 4]
Hey, hey, hey!
Peace to the mother that knows
That the babies are the key to the world, key to the world
The battles of the future will be won
By those who teach those baby boys and girls
This is our plea to the brothers
Who are tired of the barely gettin' by, instead you should try
To see your future map out your steps
And make sure no one dies
[Chorus]
The good life
(Good)
One day that's what I'll be livin'
Fantasy never hurt nobody, whatever chills the illin'
(One drop of blood ain't worth forsaking your dreams)
When the everyday gets on your last one, give it up and go
(Music, sports, fashion, whatever)
To the place in everyone's future, the good life, one day we'll know
(Consolidate, think ahead, and cream, cream)

The good life
(Good life)
One day that's what I'll be livin'
Fantasy never hurt nobody, whatever chills the illin'
(Hey yeah, good life)
When the every day gets on your last one
Give it up and go
(Good life, oh)
To the place in everyone's future
The good life, one day we'll know

[Outro]
New Power Generation
(Good life)
Tryin' to lead the Good Life
(One day we'll know)
Oh yeah, oh Lord
Good life
(Good life)
The good life
Good life
(Good life)
The good life
(Good life)
Good life
(Good life)
Oone day that's what I'll be livin'
Fantasy never hurt nobody, whatever chills the illin'
When the every day gets on your last one
Give it up and go
TO the place in everyone's future
The good life - one day we'll know
Good life
(Good life)
The good life
(Good life)
The good life
(Good life)
The good life
(Good life)
One day we'll know
