Lyrics:
[Verse 1]I've often wondered how long it's gonna take meIn this world until the good Lord shake meAnd to the man I put up with mad sorrowBut I learned soon the sun still shines tomorrowSometimes bad thoughts they brought me downGrowin up hard livin' poor side of townCause where I was I wondered who will ever need me?But now I know that much love flew freelyMy momma my poppa both took careNo matter what I did I knew they would be thereBall in the school yard puppy love crushesMischief in the nightime with intimate touchesPlayin' with the females Christmas was coolDidn't have much but had enough foolSo here's three cheers beers up and take a chugCause this one's for all the past times I dug[Chorus]Even though most of all my life was badI reminisce on all the good times I hadEven though most of all my life was badI reminisce on all the good times I hadEven though most of all my life was badI reminisce on all the good times I hadSo if you think all of your life was badReminisce on all the good times you had[Verse 2]Well it was once upon a time in the seventies a baby boy bouncesPlaced on this earth wayin' seven and some ouncesBut that wasn't all of the bouncin'It was hard for mom to try to keep the proper housin'Straight from Gardena before my sista LindaMigrated to the East Side projects MaravillaThere I had my stroll on Rigin' ElementaryMoms a quarter century pop left us on emptyBut that was nothin' new though packin up our shit soWe could make the move Cudahay was the zip codeMoms working fingers to the bone just to make ends meatI was a latch key delinquent daily runnin' the streetAnd every time I look back I think of just anotha challengeHolidays and birthdays grim still I managedTo key a smile making life funAnd how can I forget about the seasons in the sun?So here's three cheers beer up and take a chugCause this one's for all the past times I dug[Chorus]
