The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows It's a very mean and nasty place And I don't care how tough you are It will beat you to your knees And keep you there permanently if you let it I met this kid a couple years ago who was nine at the time A fan of my music, recited it line after line He said his brother took a bullet from a nine to his spine And his parents are heartbroken Can't stop crying' since he died Mistaken identity, wrong place and time But nobody came forth, everyone blind to the crime He was playing' basketball right in front of the 'rise But nobody seen nothin'? Man, it's a sign of the times And its disgustin' But this nine-year-old's out for justice Like, "F*ck this, I gotta do something for my older brother" He asked if I could help and I said, "Anything you need" Said he needs to know what happened So his brother could rest in peace He wanted me to make a video asking for support If anybody knows something, don't be scared to come forward So I did it And people tried to label that as snitching? Like, really? What the f*ck am I missing here? This boy lost his brother, now an innocent kid isn't here I'm just trying to help, is that wrong? Man this isn't fair If that was your brother, or your kid, would you give a shit? I know I ain't a snitch, but are you sure you ain't a hypocrite? It's hard to understand Life can be a trip, enjoy it when it's good Just get through it when it's bad 'Cause life can be a bitch But life can be a gift Life can be a trip, enjoy it when it's good Just get through it when it's bad 'Cause life can be a bitch But life can be a gift So slow it down, 'cause life can be too quick (Oh baby) Last year, I went to the hospital for sick kids My cousin worked there, said they'd appreciate the visit "Just a couple minutes, come say hi, take some pictures" "Sign some autographs for the brothers, the mothers and sisters" Not a problem, I even did a song or two Looking at these kids like, "I wish I was as strong as you" Smiles on their face, tubes hanging from their ears Trying to take the walk of life, but confined to wheelchairs It's unbelievable Then I met Simon, this other kid He missed my performance, he was too sick to get out of bed I was nervous at first, and couldn't comprehend How a child who's so sick could be so happy and content He said he was a huge fan of me and Billy Talent Told him I just met those guys last week, they were real cool He liked that Fifteen-year-old with leukemia trying to fight back But he wasn't complaining about where his life's at We talked for a while, 'til the nurse made her rounds She said I had to leave, I said goodbye and gave him pounds We complain about life and now I know it ain't necessary And I'm reminded over time I read Simon's obituary It's hard to understand Life can be a trip, enjoy it when it's good Just get through it when it's bad 'Cause life can be a bitch But life can be a gift Life can be a trip, enjoy it when it's good Just get through it when it's bad 'Cause life can be a bitch But life can be a gift So slow it down, 'cause life can be too quick Nobody, is gonna hit as hard as life It ain't about how hard you hit It's about how hard you can get hit And keep movin' forward How much you can take And keep moving' forward
