lyrics

WE HAD NO MONEY, BUT WE WERE RICH. WE DIDN'T OWN THE LAND WE STAND ON, BUT IT WAS OURS WHILE WE LOOKED AT IT/ SOME OF MY BEST MEMORIES ARE FROM THE MOST DIRE OF TIMES. IF I CAN TEND TO MY GARDEN, EVERYTHING WILL BE JUST FINE- (CHORUS- IF I CAN TEND TO MY GARDEN, EVERYTHING WILL BE JUST FINE) NOT SURE WHEN MY TIME IS UP BUT I CAN TELL YOU ONE THING... I'M NEVER GONNA GIVE UP/ MY TRIALS WILL BE MY TRIUMPHS AND MY TESTIMONY MY TROPHY/ YOU MIGHT JUST NEED TO HARRUMPH AFTER YOU HEAR MY STORY, I AM GRATEFUL, FOR TODAY. I'D RATHER HAVE REJECTION OF MY TRUE REFLECTION, THAN LIVE A LIE AND BE ACCEPTED. OH NO ONE HAS IT TOGETHER, SOME ARE JUST REALLY GOOD ACTORS. UNFAIR ADVANTAGE WITH SOME CHROMOSOME X FACTORS AND BEAUTIFUL BOUNTIES OF BAD ADVICE MIXED WITH THE BEAUTIFUL BOLD AND WISE SOMEHOW I NAVIGATE WELL ENOUGH TO STAY ALIVE. I GO OUTSIDE WITHOUT MY PHONE SO THAT MY BRAIN DOESN'T CONFUSE MY SCREEN FOR SUNSHINE. I'M GRATEFUL FOR TODAY. EARLY MORNING RISING UP WITH THE SUN, WIPED THE SLEEP FROM MY EYES DREW BREATH FROM MY LUNGS ANOTHER CHANCE TO DO THE THINGS THAT I DIDN'T GET DONE, THE DAY BEFORE EITHER OR WAIT FOR TOMORROW TO COME. CUZ TODAY IS GONNA BE ABOUT ME, CALLED OUT FROM THE JOB SAID I GOTTA BE FREE. AND EVEN THOUGH THE BILLS ARE PILING AND MY BANK ACCOUNT IS LIGHT A BROTHER NEEDS A DAY SO HE CAN JUST BE/ LOOKIN FOR THEM GOOD TIMES LIKE I'M PENNY OF J.J. RATHER JOHNNY KEMP FRIDAY NIGHT ON A PAYDAY/SO I GOT MY GIRL ON THE PHONE SAID GET DRESSED TO COME ON CUZ WE'RE GOING ON A 40 BUCK VACAY/ RELATED TO THE SAYIN' EVERY DAY IS A GIFT/THANKFUL FOR ANCESTORS AND THE LESSONS THEY SENT/POCKETS EMPTY BUT CONTENT 40 DOLLARS WELL SPENT FEELING GRATEFUL SINGIN' JUST LIKE THIS/ IF I CAN TEND TO MY GARDEN EVERYTHING WILL BE JUST FINE
