Beautiful Life

I remember when
Just a kid at the crib living big in my element
Saturday cartoons man talking heaven sent
Never wanted it to end, it was evident
Ooooh yeah
I remember when
We'd hoop at the park til momma said come on in
Two on two three on three I felt like a legend then
Twenty three on my back like the best that has ever did
Ooooh yeah
I remember when
We'd skate around like we was some X-men
White folks probably thinking strange for a black kid
Tony Hawk was the man back then what can I say
Ooooh yeah
I remember when
Running home to see who'd get the pin and be first to three
Mesmerized by the crazy things that I saw in the ring
Every Monday and Tuesday yeah I had to tune in
I sit back like what a time
Man those times sure did feel nice
Guess it's safe to say
We had yeah
Such a beautiful life
We had yeah
Such a beautiful life
I remember when
Playing catch in street throwing bombs end to end
Watch out car coming you know it's a resident
They may hop out and play man if they feeling it
Ooooh yeah
I remember when
Going house to house with all the neighborhood kids
Best snacks yeah they were sure to win
May make an exception if they had a bigger crib
I sit back like what a time
Man those times sure did feel nice
Guess it's safe to say
We had yeah
Such a beautiful life
We had yeah
Such a beautiful life
We had yeah
I know I'm talking from a past tense
But let me tell you things have gotten better ever since
It's a celebration here's ya evidence
And I just wrote this little song for us to reminisce
About the memories made and the love that exist
My heart remains the sanctuary where they hold the events
I graduated from the mischief that was had a kid
So many blessings from the lessons now we rewrite the script and make it beautiful
Such a beautiful life a beautiful life yeah
Such a beautiful life
Such a beautiful life a beautiful life yeah
Such a beautiful life
