Fresh Air

[Verse 1 - Brother Ali]

Ant check this out

I'm the luckiest son of a bitch that ever lived, I spend life doin shit I love

Got the world's most beautiful kids and don't nobody do it like us

Sunday morning play Al Green, make pancakes and watch cartoons

Sometimes get to change that scene, catch a plane and see somewhere new

Plus got married last year, treated so good that it ain't even fair

Already got a boy, now the baby girl's here, bought us a house like the Berenstain Bears

Not two years ago I was homeless, I mean crashin on the couch of my homies

Now I'm crashin on the couch with Conan, signed a mortgage and bought my home, shit

Should of seen when they handed me the keys, I still couldn't believe that it was mine

Like "baby hurry up let's leave, before these damn people change their mind"

Ha, and shit what can I say? I would have made these damn songs anyway

Some of y'all still listen to 'em everyday, beautiful thing, I bow my hand and pray

[Hook - Brother Ali] - 2X - w/ ad libs

I love the life I live, my laughter and my tears

I don't know where it's goin but I like it like it is

[Verse 2 - Brother Ali]

Uh, I get a lot of love in my hometown, twin cities, y'all know how it go down

Same club where Prince shot "Purple Rain", advertise my name and it's sold out

I'm surrounded by greatness, my loved ones are amazin

Sometimes I look in their faces and just think of the lives they're changin'

And I don't just mean Rhymesayers, my son's grandmother quit freebasin'

Desiree got eight years straight, now that right there cause for celebration

Ah, I'm so happy for her, we used to fight like cats and dogs

But she ain't even mad that I left her daughter

She calls me her son, so that's my mama

[Verse 3 - Brother Ali]

Ah, keep it goin now

All my life I had this music, my heroes have all saluted

I don't need y'all to like my new shit, them dudes are the reason I do this

I done did so much cool shit, lived a lifetime in the last two years

Got the memories to prove it, look what a dude who ain't even graduate high school did

Ha, used to always be the new kid, laughed at cause I never used to pull chicks

Now I turn down more girls than them rich ass pretty football playin fools get

Sometimes I smile so wide, I think about the dreams that I've lived

Shit even if I died tonight y'all, I'm the luckiest son bitch that ever lived

[Hook] - w/ ad libs until the end
