Brother Ali – Fresh Air Video & Song
Fresh Air Lyrics by Brother Ali
Ant check this out…
I’m the luckiest son of a bitch that ever lived,
I spend life doin shit I love.
Got the world’s most beautiful kids
and don’t nobody do it like us
Sunday morning play Al Green,
make pancakes and watch cartoons.
Sometimes get to change that scene,
catch a plane and see somewhere new.
Just got married last year,
treated so good that it ain’t even fair.
Already got a boy, now the baby girl’s here,
bought us a house like the Berenstein Bears.
Not two years ago I was homeless,
I mean crashin on the couch of my homies.
Now I’m crashin on the couch with Conan,
signed a mortgage and bought my home, shit.
Should of seen when they handed me the keys,
I still couldn’t believe that it was mine.
Like “baby hurry up let’s leave,
before these damn people change their mind.”
Ha, and shit what can I say?
I would have made these damn songs anyway
Some of y’all still listen to ‘em everyday,
beautiful thing, I bow my hand and pray.
I love the life I live, my laughter and my tears
I don’t know where it’s goin but I like it like it is
I love the life I live, my laughter and my tears
I don’t know where it’s goin but I like it like it is
Uh, I get a lot of love in my hometown,
twin cities, y’all know how it go down.
Same club where Prince shot “Purple Rain”,
advertise my name and it’s sold out.
I’m surrounded by greatness,
my loved ones are amazin.
Sometimes I look in their faces and just think of the lives they’re changin.
And I don’t just mean Rhymesayers,
my son’s grandmother quit freebasin.
Desiree got eight years straight,
now that right there cause for celebration.
Ah, I’m so happy for her,
we used to fight like cats and dogs.
But she ain’t even mad that I left her daughter
She calls me her son, so that’s my mama.
I love the life I live, my laughter and my tears
I don’t know where it’s goin but I like it like it is
I love the life I live, my laughter and my tears
I don’t know where it’s goin but I like it like it is
Ah, keep it goin now
All my life I had this music,
my heroes have all saluted.
I don’t need y’all to like my new shit,
them dudes are the reason I do this.
I done did so much cool shit,
lived a lifetime in the last two years.
Got the memories to prove it,
look what a dude who ain’t even graduate high school did.
Ha, used to always be the new kid,
laughed at ’cause I never used to pull chicks.
Now I turn down more girls than them rich ass pitiful ball playin fools get.
Sometimes I smile so wide,
I think about the dreams that I’ve lived.
Shit even if I died tonight y’all,
I’m the luckiest son bitch that ever lived.
