Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You can't control what life presents you
Keep it moving man, one day you'll make it through
And at times, yeah we've all played the fool
[Verse 2]
(Call me Deacon Blu)
[Verse 3]
Dust yourself off and just do you
Keep it moving man one day you'll make it through
Set your goals high be sure to stay true
[Verse 4]
(Call me Deacon Blu)
[Verse 5]
It all started 5/30/74
I came into this world I was wanting more
Yeah mom stayed home, dad had a j-o-b
But even in G-ville man, it's wasn't enough cheese
So we packed a Uhaul, hit 95
Up to NY Li, and I was about 5
10 months to the day my dad broke out to f LA
And mom and I stayed in a one bedroom apartment
No dad on the first day of school
Mom had to work two jobs a just just to buy food
Thank God for pop pop always stopping by
Mom had pride but needed help just to get by
I cried every night for months when my father left
Looking back yeah man yo it's for the best
I had to put this down on paper from me to you
CL, and the history of Deacon Blu
[Verse 6]
You can't control what life presents you
Keep it moving, man, one day you'll make it through
And at times, yeah, we've all played the fool
[Verse 7]
(Call me Deacon Blu)
[Verse 8]
Dust yourself off and just do you
Keep it moving, man, one day you'll make it through
Set your goals high be sure to stay true
[Verse 9]
(Call me Deacon Blu)
[Verse 10]
Now I'm a grown man with a family of my own
To get to where I'm at it's a long road I'm still on
Motivated is how I got here today
Knuckle-headed, yeah man, I paved my own way
I listened to no one when I should've took advice
Went back to school when I was a dad with a wife
Held a 9 to 5, some call it a career
If it wasn't for mom and EJ
I probably wouldn't be here
Age, old wisdom, things I couldn't see
Now I don't have time for dad who had no time for me
I'm a man I keep it moving life is short you see
To my kids I am who my father could never be
I call it how I see it, yeah, it's like that
Too late in the game, man, we can't get those years back
I still remember the record, you gave to me
Yeah my favorite song, Deacon Blu
[Verse 11]
You can't control what life presents you
Keep it moving man one day you'll make it through
And at times, yeah we've all played the fool
[Verse 12]
(Call me Deacon Blu)
[Verse 13]
Dust yourself off and just do you
Keep it moving man one day you'll make it through
Set your goals high be sure to stay true
[Verse 14]
(Call me Deacon Blu)
[Verse 15]
You can't control what life presents you
Keep it moving man one day you'll make it through
And at times, yeah we've all played the fool
[Verse 16]
(Call me Deacon Blu)
[Verse 17]
Dust yourself off and just do you
Keep it moving, man, one day you'll make it through
Set your goals high be sure to stay true
[Verse 18]
(Call me Deacon Blu)
[Verse 19]
I still remember
How how, I got motivated
Make it through
Keep it moving, life is short you see
Know what I'm saying
[Verse 20]
Being a real man only gets harder, know what I'm saying
Just 'cause you a dad, don't make you a real father
Know what I'm saying
I made a conscious decision when I was younger
Take the good and leave the bad
'Cause honestly I didn't wanna grow up and be like my dad
