Dark Night Records

Lyrics

Today we’re gonna celebrate life and weather any storm.
It might be cold and dark. It might be rain or sun.
But everyday we celebrate life, and break bread,
tell your stories, maybe party like it’s 1981.

Another brand new day, another wealth of opportunity
to carpe some diem, and to better our community,
and leave her just a little bit better than when we found her.
Some place our sons and our daughters can be proud of.
A legacy. Something that will stand the test of time
and shine bright when we pass the torch to the next in line.
Word is bond! Man, we’ve seen our fair share of them dark days,
and said goodbye to too many good friends who part ways
but stay with us forever. So I swear on your memory,
the enemy keep testing me - but won’t get the best of me.
These devils got the same odds as Ben Shapiro
beating Lebron in a one-on-one 10 to 0.
And I don’t care about your politics and silly debates,
or what country your were born in, what city, what state.
Yo - shout out to Cochabamba! I think Bolivia’s great.
But if you caught the mind virus, man - I’m giving you space
because …

Today we’re gonna celebrate life and weather any storm.
It might be cold and dark. It might be rain or sun.
But everyday we celebrate life, and break bread,
tell your stories, maybe party like it’s 1981.

Action multiplied, added to decisions
equals current state and inhabited position.
Memories are made and we’re made of memories.
Looking back, we were buried in provisions.
Mom and dad – we love you and thank you.
The mission now is to carry on your vision.
I speak through time. I must send back gems.
Focus on my sister and reject mad friends.
Focus on brotherhood. Correct my trends.
And make amends with cousins from way back when.
But all in all, man the past was a blast.
From the crawl, to the basketball,
to the mall skipping class.
To the bar, sipping glass after glass.
We are who we are, forged by the path.
Sculpted by the journey.
Do the math and you grasp
the value of the sand that passes through the hourglass.

Today we’re gonna celebrate life and weather any storm.
It might be cold and dark. It might be rain or sun.
But everyday we celebrate life, and break bread,
tell your stories, maybe party like it’s 1981.
Today we’re gonna celebrate life and weather any storm.
It might be cold and dark. It might be rain or sun.
But everyday we celebrate life, and break bread,
tell your stories, maybe party like it’s 19-ocho-uno.

Battle scarred survivors who done suffered enough pain
stay loving life and don’t get caught up in the mundane.
I’m remembering the good times - ballin’ on Sundays,
and watching my big brother drop 40 in one game.
The look on my Father’s face watching his son play.
I could talk about the golden days a thousand and one ways.
When grocery and gas prices wasn’t as bad.
Way before I rocked the mic and was a husband & Dad.
Saturday morning cartoons, and then some Talk Soup with Greg Kinnear.
I got you reminiscing. Swear I saw you just shed a tear.
My Mama’s Mama at the table saying the blessings.
I’ve missed you everyday since you made your way up to heaven.
No way I’d ever be this strong if it wasn’t for you.
And so we celebrate this life like you would want us to do.
I think I’ll call my baby sister, maybe pay her a visit.
And if I’m part of your story, just know I’m grateful i’m in it
because …

Today we’re gonna celebrate life …
(… the past was a blast …)
… the day I knew I was in love with you.
… pupusa Fridays.
Today we’re gonna celebrate life …
(… we love you and thank you …)
… the mashed potatoes at my cousin’s wedding.
… and Richmond Highway.

Today we’re gonna celebrate life and weather any storm.
It might be cold and dark. It might be rain or sun.
But everyday we celebrate life, and break bread,
tell your stories, maybe party like it’s 1981.
Today we’re gonna celebrate life and weather any storm.
It might be cold and dark. It might be rain or sun.
But everyday we celebrate life, and break bread,
tell your stories, maybe party like it’s 19-ocho-uno.

We’re gonna celebrate life.
We’re gonna celebrate life.
Today we’re gonna celebrate life.
We’re gonna celebrate life.
