Life is good
Lyte Funky Ones Lyrics

Life, life is unbelievable
Life is something that is hard to believe or hard to comprehend.

Life is good, life is great
Life can be wonderful and enjoyable.

Life is unbelievable
Again, life is something that can be hard to believe or comprehend.

Life is hard, life is cruel
Life can also be difficult and unforgiving.

Life is so beautiful
But at the same time, life can be beautiful and full of wonder.

Oh yeah, oh yeah
This phrase is repeated throughout the song as a sort of affirmation that life is wonderful and worth living.

Somewhere in life and yet, on my way to anywhere
The singer is in the midst of their journey through life, and they don't know what the future holds for them.

A woman named Beatrice serves me coffee
In their travels through life, the singer encounters people who make an impact on them, even in small ways.

And she smiles as if she cares
The singer is struck by the way that Beatrice seems to genuinely care for them, even though they are essentially strangers.

It reminds me of this painting
The singer is reminded of a work of art that captures this same feeling of human connection.

The kings behind the counter, serving coffee to James Dean
The painting features a similar scene to the one the singer is experiencing, with people working in service of others.

On my way to Garden City, on my way to anywhere
Again, the singer is in a transitional phase of their life and is constantly on the move.

A guy named Patrick gives me directions
In another encounter, the singer is helped by someone who is friendly and kind.

And he smiles as if he
The singer is once again struck by the genuine kindness of a stranger.

It reminds me of this movie
The situation is familiar to the singer, and they are reminded of another artistic work that explores similar themes.

Pretty much this situation, except I'd (?) the queen
The singer imagines a scenario in which the person helping them is a queen, a humorous twist on the encounter they just experienced.

So what would you do if you awaked tomorrow
The singer poses a hypothetical question, asking the listener to imagine what they would do if their dreams suddenly came true and their life was full of happiness and success.

There's no more sorrow, dreams came true
In this scenario, the listener's life is free of pain and hardship and their hopes and aspirations have been realized.

So knock on wood and cross your fingers
The singer suggests that one should hope for the best and be optimistic about the future.

And count your blessings, it might be you
Be grateful for what you have, as it is possible that you could be someone else who is less fortunate.

If your soul loves the sun, rock, rock on
The singer encourages the listener to pursue the things that they love and enjoy.

Yo I'll be flippin', rippin' the party 'till the break of dawn
The singer is enthusiastic about living their life to the fullest, and they use slang and rhyming to express their excitement.

If you love rich nights, or you hate rich nights
Everyone has their own preferences when it comes to how they want to live their life, and the singer acknowledges this.

Just take my advice, and live your life
The singer's advice to the listener is simple: live your life in a way that makes you happy and fulfilled.

Cause its yours
The singer emphasizes that the listener owns their own life, and therefore has the power to shape it however they want.

Yo my mission is to save this world,
Another voice enters the song, and this rapper declares that their goal in life is to make the world a better place.

Cause its a never ending task
The rapper acknowledges that this is a difficult goal to achieve, as there is always more work to be done.

I don't know where to begin,
The rapper is overwhelmed by the task before them and doesn't know how to get started.

And I feel I'm near the end
The rapper is also aware of their own mortality and feels like they are running out of time.

I don't want to live life doin' petty nonsense
The rapper is determined to make their life mean something and not waste their time on meaningless activities.

It's hard to sleep at night with a guilty conscience
The rapper is grappling with their own sense of morality and feels the weight of the world on their shoulders.

You know what's really a mess, now I feel blessed
Despite their struggles, the rapper is still able to find moments of happiness and gratitude in their life.

But twenty minutes from now, will it all turn to stress?
The rapper acknowledges that life is unpredictable and uncertain, and wonders if their peace of mind will last.

I'm twenty-seven years old and Brownsville raised
The rapper identifies themselves with their age and where they come from, as these are important parts of their identity.

Upset with all the blood, the sweat, and the tears
The rapper is frustrated by the difficulties and challenges they have faced in their life so far.

Baby its on, a mother shed tears, at the same time, a baby is born
The second rapper ties together the themes of birth, death, and rebirth, emphasizing the cyclical nature of life.

On the other side of town, a life is lost
The rapper acknowledges that life is not always fair or just, and that death is a natural part of the cycle of life.

A young thug was knocked off, and the heat was tossed
The rapper references the violence and danger that is present in some communities, and the impact it can have on people's lives.

But don't stop now, live your life, I know its hell for the rough,
Despite the challenges that people face, the rapper encourages listeners to keep going and live their life to the fullest.

But don't talk down on ya man, unless you helpiin' him out
The rapper emphasizes the importance of supporting one another and lifting each other up instead of tearing each other down.

ITS YOURS!
The song ends with the same phrase that has been used throughout: the listener's life is their own, and they have the power to shape it however they want.
