No lie used to cry myself to sleep at night

Cuz little Des was a mess never eating right

Drake started from the bottom don't believe the hype

Cuz I was living underground never seen the light

I was a coal living in a diamond mine

Cuz my only goal was trying to shine from writing rhymes

And like a coke dealer everybody liked my lines

Flow iller no realer I'm quite the find

Cold killer gorilla steady climbing vines

I grind for mine my competition riding blind

So fly I'm flying likе Clark Kent when fighting crime

And if I nеver struggled never could I find davyne

That's why I've never been a hater wish we all would

Have each other's back like we living in a small hood

If y'all could show love y'all should

But I ain't tripping though its all good

Life's pretty damn good if you let it be

On a mission just tryna find a better me

And I know it ain't perfect but if it ain't working

I'm switching it up and I'm never settling

I know sometimes it's hard

And it's never what they said it'd be

This life ain't perfect

But it's pretty damn good if you let it be

But it's pretty damn good if you let it be

This life ain't perfect

But it's pretty damn good if you let it be

I know sometimes it's hard

And it's never what they said it'd be

This life ain't perfect

But it's pretty damn good if you let it be

Been writing so long I could have been a novelist

But I chose to be a poet on a novice list

Not about the fame I came to raise consciousness

And bring nature back to my metropolis

I stay rooted family tree never been stronger

Always thinking of Mother Earth when my head wanders

16s sweeter than Wonka plus I been bonkers

I done dealt with my fears and left my threats conquered

Same old g just less awkward

Impress the press when they press play I press onward

The guest of honor got this game inside me Des a locker

Been a child of God but never met Madonna

Like a prayer or a virgin a version of rare

I'm flirting with dare been hurting with care

But on the winner's podium be certain I'm there

Exhaling on these haters smell the herb in the air

Life's pretty damn good if you let it be

On a mission just tryna find a better me

And I know it ain't perfect but if it ain't working

I'm switching it up and I'm never settling

I know sometimes it's hard

And it's never what they said it'd be

This life ain't perfect

But it's pretty damn good if you let it be

But it's pretty damn good if you let it be

This life ain't perfect

But it's pretty damn good if you let it be

I know sometimes it's hard

And it's never what they said it'd be

This life ain't perfect

But it's pretty damn good if you let it be

6 million ways to live choose one

Will you give to your people or will you take from

Cuz if you want to gain you have to lose some

Red or blue pill the real or stay dumb

Got free will but still it's hard to keep it real

Frustrating wondering will I ever see a deal

All about my business trying to eat a decent meal

Rolling with a crew of misfits like Peter Quill

Do this for my planet my family guarding galaxies

Love the dough do it for the love though no salary

I rep the O Northwest where the talent be

But I'm a born and raised West Coast Cali g

Grown up sho nuff look at how I've blown up

Used to smoke blunts now I'm high when crowds go nuts

Love my life and here's the bonus

I wrote this song in my car homeless

Life's pretty damn good if you let it be

On a mission just tryna find a better me

And I know it ain't perfect but if it ain't working

I'm switching it up and I'm never settling

I know sometimes it's hard

And it's never what they said it'd be

This life ain't perfect

But it's pretty damn good if you let it be

But it's pretty damn good if you let it be

This life ain't perfect

But it's pretty damn good if you let it be

I know sometimes it's hard

And it's never what they said it'd be

This life ain't perfect

But it's pretty damn good if you let it be
