[Intro: Def MC 4Life]

I can't explain how good it feels to look in this mirror

See this person that I wished I'd always grow to be

I worked hard for this

[Verse 1: Def MC 4Life]

Street lights and champagne

Speeding on the interstate, signal to switch lanes

I'm on the fast track and flying high on this Swiss plane

Caviar never was me

Guess it's something 'bout fish eggs

And I'm taken to a time I was dirt poor

And cheap liquor replaced the Sauvignon

And my crew shootin' pong on my headboard

The stereo pumped the east side blue shore

Now the waves catch the bows of my new yacht

The stars looking awful nice in the backdrop

Hungry now, but I'm plotting on a fine meal

No cereal, no more oatmeal

No more paper plates, just a silver spoon

When my seed's born, I guess I'll have me two

I couldn't picture this, but now I'm living this

I was a broke Joe, and now I'm Richie Rich

[Chorus: K.K. Miller]

I'm so alive, I'm so alive, I've never felt this way in my life

These hard goodbyes, long goodbyes

If you could see this through my eyes

[Verse 2: Def MC 4Life]

Flashy digs and bleach blondes, picture model broads just flirtin'

Parties in my ski lodge

Take the G4 south to show the beach bod

And every summer, driving home to hit the East Side

And I'm glad that it isn't me

So I can sit here and tell you we was meant to be

Three bedrooms swing on our front porch

Our kids play fighting, fencing with some branch swords

Scrapbooks filled with so many memories

Now, minivans replace my dream of Bentleys

Instead of Pebble Beach, head on out to Disney's

And camping trips, all the places they would wanna see

All I wanna do is help them achieve their dreams

All along, I was living mine, every scheme

Damn, I've waited my entire life

And now I'm happy, just you and me, were doing fine

[Chorus: K.K. Miller]

I'm so alive, I'm so alive, I've never felt this way in my life

These hard goodbyes, long goodbyes

If you could see this through my eyes

I'm so alive (no tears to cry)

I've never felt this way in my life

These hard goodbyes (no tears to cry)

If you could see this through my eyes
