Hook: Chaotic Lynk

You can't control what life presents you

Keep it moving man one day you’ll make it through

And at times, yea we've all played the fool (call me deacon blu)

Dust yourself off and just do you

Keep it moving man one day you'll make it through

Set your goals high be sure to stay true (call me deacon blu)

Verse 1: Chaotic Lynk

It all started 5/30/74

I came into this world I was wanting more

Yea mom stayed home dad had a j.o.b

But even in G ville man it wasn’t enough cheese

So we packed a Uhaul, hit 95, up to NY, LI. when I was about 5

10 months to the day my dad broke out to f LA

And mom and I stayed in a one bedroom apartment

No dad on the first day of school

Mom had to work a job just to buy food

Thank god for pop pop always stopping by

Mom had pride but needed help just to get by

I cried every night for months when my father left

Looking back yea man yo it's for the best

I had to put this down on paper for me to use

CL, and the history of deacon blue

Verse 2: Chaotic Lynk

Now I'm a grown man with a family of my own

To get to where I'm at it’s a long road I’m still on

Motivated is how I got here today

Knuckleheaded, yea man I paved my own way

I listened to no one when I should've take advice

Went back to school when I was a dad with a wife

Held a 9 to 5, some called it a career

If it wasn’t for mom and EJ I probably wouldn't be here

Age old wisdom, things I could've seen

Now I don't have time for dad who had no time for me

I’m a man I keep it moving life is short you see

To my kids I am who my father could never be

I call it how I see, yea it's like that

Too late in the game man we can't get those years back

I still remember the record, you gave to me

Yea my favorite song, deacon blu

Outro: Chaotic Lynk

You know what I'm saying, being a real man only gets harder, know what I'm saying

Just cause you a dad don't make you a real father, know what I'm saying

You know I made a conscious decision when I was younger to take the good, leave the bad because I didn't want to grow up and be like my dad
