1982, Shawn Stockman, Bun B, Mac Miller - Happy Days lyrics

Oh oh (Hey) , yeah, yeah oh, yeah, oh, yeah
(Ayo, Stat, what's good, bruh?)
Mm-mm-mm, oh, yeah
La-de da-de da (This the hook part, right?)
Uh uh (I'ma let this ride out, though)
Uh uh uh uh (Uh) la-de da-de da
(Finally got a reason to be happy
You feel me?) aight, look

Hey, I never thought that I'd be doin'
What it is I'm doin' now girls callin' me
Tryin' to follow me all the way to my house
In a city, then I'm out the next day
Still a young grasshopper
Kick it with my senseis
Who just wanna school me on the game
Smokin' and tellin' tales
"You can fabricate the truth
But bein' real never fails"
So, I put my life on wax, as-is
Like right now I'm just kickin'
It up in Stat's crib
I'm kinda livin' the dream, and I enjoy it
Happiness is great when you're
Used to disappointment
Now I'm good, big smile and a loud heart
Everything kosher like Kyle off of South Park
Overnight success could be gone
By the mornin'
That's why I'm on my grind, puttin' time in
Recordin'
Stackin' paper, tryna save me up a fortune
And go and cop a hundred
Pairs of old school Jordans

When the rain fell from the sky
And the dark clouds made it
Hard to see the light, oh
I still managed to survive
Now happy days are finally here and now I can
(Uh, huh) , now I can smile

I rocked thirty countries in a two-year span
Damn, mama's little man rockin' Japan
Got the Source Unsigned Hype
Showed the whole hood
And that was 2K5, damn, time flies
Man, it feel good to see people up on it
Comin' to your shows and
Worshipin' your performance
Runnin' to the stores and
Purchasin' your recordings
Remember your goal is platinum and gold
It's good to see Mac blow up, the kid's nasty
Statik on his way to the top
That's if you ask me
I've got a good reason to smile
I'm gettin' cash beyond
Whatever I thought I would make off a song
If I get a lot of money
I'm leavin' it to my daughters
It's a lot of fake people around me
But, I ignore 'em and I think about all of
My enemies all the time
But fuck it, I'll let it slide
I'm just happy to be alive

When the rain fell from the sky
And the dark clouds made it
Hard to see the light, oh
I still managed to survive
Now happy days are finally here
And now I can, now I can smile

When people turned their backs on me
Played me, tried to throw me away
(Now I can smile)
Now they wonder how I'm still in the world
Eatin' good and gettin' paid
(Now I can smile)
'Cause, I know my children will
Never feel hunger pangs
When I wanted to give up
I found a new purpose
Now, it's a new day, 'cause I'm so happy

Look at my life and where your boy came from
(Came from) the land of the trill
That's where I got my game from (Game from)
Where you gotta be strong to survive
And if you're not built right
They gonna be gone with your life
Everything can change for you in
The blink of an eyeball
Today they're your homies
But tomorrow they'll try y'all
You'll be the king on the throne
Laughin' at the pawn (Pawn) and in a flash
It'll be your crown he's puttin' on (On)
But, I took the advice that the OGs bestowed
('Stowed) it didn't take long before
Your boy got throwed (Throwed)
Now I'm an OG and I'm doin' the same (Same)
For the Terms and the Macs and
The Stats of the game (Stats of the game)
Lookin' at my past days
(Days) , and where I'm at now (Now)
I learned the skinny
Now your boy's livin' fat now (Fat now)
I'm standin' at the top of the pile
(Top of the pile) and all I can do is smile
Happy days

When the rain fell from the sky (Oh oh oh oh)
And the dark clouds made (Dark clouds made)
It hard to see the light, oh (Ooh ooh ooh)
I still managed to survive
(I managed to survive)
Now happy days are finally here (Happy days)
And now I can, now I can smile

I can smile, I can smile oh, yeah
I can smile, oh oh
When no one else believed, I believed in you
Oh, yeah now I can smile
