Wonderful Life
DJ L.I Lyrics

Making yo momma proud, looking in yo daughter’s eyes
Being a good parent and making your mom proud, by loving and caring for your children and watching them grow.

Kickin' it with your sons, trippin' never realize
Spending time with your sons and bonding, sometimes it can be easy to overlook how precious those moments are.

How good you got it, been so wrapped up in yo losses
You have a lot of good things in life, but sometimes it's hard to see the good when you're only focused on the bad.

You couldn’t see the profits, could still be in the projects
You may not have realized the potential in yourself back when you were struggling, but you could have still achieved success and escaped a difficult living situation.

Instead releasing projects just poppin' when niggas floppin'
Instead of focusing on other people's failures or struggles, focus on your own successes and celebrate them.

So you went back to prison, TIP it could've been a coffin
You may have made mistakes, but take the time to learn from them and turn your life around rather than risking your own life or safety.

Now since we talkin' you been trippin' ever since I died
After losing someone close to you, it's easy to become overwhelmed with grief and struggling to cope.

Appreciate you missin' me but G, you still alive
It's important to appreciate the value of life and cherish the moments you have with the people in your life who are still here.

I’m lookin' down at you, and sendin' smiles to you
Even after someone has passed away, they may still be watching over you and sending positive energy your way.

I check the record now, oh tell Tameka hi would you
Even when someone is gone, it can be comforting to know that they care about the people you care about and want you to stay connected with them.

Your life is wonderful son, don’t let 'em take it from you

Shot with bullets that were meant for me, family's never forgiving me
