Good Times Lyrics - Delinquent Habits - Delinquent Habits

[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]
