[Verse 1: Cee]
Dear life, it's been a hell of a ride
And over 32 years, you getting iller with time
Unpredictable but still I'm sticking with you to find
All the truth within the beauty and to which you define
And it is you who be inspiring, the music, the writing
My muse in the night and, the proof we alive man
I choose to recite and to move with the light and
The youth needing guidance, it's true, we provide that
I look back from the position that I'm standing in
I see a vision of a kid who missing confidence
It took a love of Hip Hop to really gimme that
And then I realised that it was in me 'fore the music did
Yeah, and yo I'm grateful for my folks though
With two sons dipping to the north, they support
And I'm proud to be they seed so believe that it's on though
The dream never fading so we moving 'til we make it
'Til we make it, at least our definition of it
All we wanting is our passion and we living off it
I met my soulmate so homie, we living gorgeous
Though this the hard times, it's cool because we pushing forward
I'm learning happiness subjective and temporary
And never do a thing unless you caring and it's scary
And you can change the whole world with your mind
Yo I'm breathing and I'm loved, Merci, dear life, come on
[Bridge: Cee & Richeus]
Dear life, you know I'm indebted

So heaven sent, oh this is it
One chance, one life so we livin' it
Dear life, you know I'm indebted

So heaven sent
[Richeus] Coz me only have one life, one chance fi live and so yo me livin' it
[Cee] oh this is it, one chance, one life so I'm livin' it
[Hook: Richeus]
Dear life, my dear wife
You give meaning to all that I write
From beginning to the end of time
So if you are the opportunity, the world is mine
And I'll say, what the lady say
Got no time to count no sheep today, eh ay, eh ay
How can I let you get away?
[Verse 2: Richeus]
Can't let you get away, single opportunity
To get a closer to my inevitable destiny
I told you I wanna be more than I was meant to be
You tell me everything is a process eventually
Eventually? You gotta be kidding me!
By the way, I'm talking to the Mother Being
The Goddess of all Everything, Everything
My first Mother, she's L-I-F-E
So dear life, I'm giving you my life
And I will treat you right, so please recieve me like
Nourishment to feed you, the Mother Nature type
And manifest the greatest opportunities tonight
Opportunities to make me see the light
I grab my confidence by the wings and take flight
So the world stage never create no stage fright
Raggamuffin only cravin' what success taste like
[Bridge: Cee & Richeus]
