The Good Life
Generation Lyrics

The good life, one day that's what I'll be livin'
The singer desires a good life for himself.

Fantasy never hurt nobody, whatever chills the illin'
Fantasizing is harmless and can alleviate stress.

When the every day gets on your last one
When each day becomes too much to handle,

Give it up and go
Relinquish the stress and leave.

2 the place in everyone's future
To the destination where everyone ends up.

The good life - one day we'll know (Good life)
Eventually, everyone will experience the good life.

Everyday after school, you know where 2 find this brother
After school, one can find the singer at the movies.

Uptown at every movie show, outta my life 2 another
Going to the movies takes the singer away from reality.

That was the only thing that I wanted 2 do, that was my drug of choice
Going to the movies was the singer's favorite activity.

Left all the funny smellin' cigarettes 2 the American boys
The American boys smoke commonly-used cigarettes.

"La Dolce Vita" was the knob that turned me on
The movie La Dolce Vita excited the singer.

Marcello Mastroianni Italian Mac comin' on strong
Marcello Mastroianni was a strong presence in the movie.

He had all the honies, the kind from the magazines
Marcello Mastroianni was attractive to the women seen in magazines.

Small waist, big - right!... biggest ones you've ever seen
The women had thin waists and large breasts.

Mama worked all night, went 2 school by day
The singer's mother worked at night and went to school during the day.

Wanted 2 get her Master Degree so she could make a better way
The singer's mother worked hard to pursue a Master's degree.

Set examples 4 her babies that we'll never forget
The singer's mother was a role model who set an unforgettable example for her children.

That's where I guess my spirit comes from, eternally never met
The singer's spirit comes from his mother's hard work and example.

Peace 2 the mother that knows
Respect to the mothers who understand.

That the babies are the key 2 the world, key 2 the world
Children are the key to the world's future.

The battles of the future will be won
Success in the future is dependent on

By those who teach those baby boys and girls
The teachers who educate and inspire children.

This is our plea 2 the brothers
The singer is begging his peers

Who are tired of the barely gettin' by, instead you should try
Those who are frustrated with struggling to get by should use this as inspiration

2 see your future map out your steps
To plan for success in their future.

And make sure no one dies
Achieve your goals while staying safe and avoiding harm.

(One drop of blood ain't worth forsaking your dreams)
Don't risk any harm for the sake of your dreams.

(Music, sports, fashion, whatever)
No matter the skill or interest,

Consolidate, think ahead, and cream, cream
Focus, plan and achieve.

New Power Generation (Good life)
The New Power Generation, a music group that desires a good life.

Tryin' 2 lead the Good Life (One day we'll know)
The singers are attempting to live a good life.

Good life (Good life),
The good life is a desirable concept.

Good life {x2}
Good life is repeated.

One day we'll know
The good life will be achieved eventually.
