Delinquent Habits Good Times lyrics

[Verse 1]

I`ve often wondered how long it`s gonna take me

In this world until the good Lord shake me

And to the man I put up with mad sorrow

But I learned soon the sun still shines tomorrow

Sometimes bad thoughts they brought me down

Growin up hard livin` poor side of town

Cause where I was I wondered who will ever need me?

But now I know that much love flew freely

My momma my poppa both took care

No matter what I did I knew they would be there

Ball in the school yard puppy love crushes

Mischief in the nightime with intimate touches

Playin` with the females Christmas was cool

Didn`t have much but had enough fool

So here`s three cheers beers up and take a chug

Cause this one`s for all the past times I dug



[Chorus]

Even though most of all my life was bad

I reminisce on all the good times I had

Even though most of all my life was bad

I reminisce on all the good times I had

Even though most of all my life was bad

I reminisce on all the good times I had

So if you think all of your life was bad

Reminisce on all the good times you had



[Verse 2]

Well it was once upon a time in the seventies a baby boy bounces

Placed on this earth wayin` seven and some ounces

But 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 Linda

Migrated to the East Side projects Maravilla

There I had my stroll on Rigin` Elementary

Moms a quarter century pop left us on empty

But that was nothin` new though packin up our shit so

We could make the move Cudahay was the zip code

Moms working fingers to the bone just to make ends meat

I was a latch key delinquent daily runnin` the street

And every time I look back I think of just anotha challenge

Holidays and birthdays grim still I managed

To key a smile making life fun

And how can I forget about the seasons in the sun?

So here`s three cheers beer up and take a chug

Cause this one`s for all the past times I dug



[Chorus]
