lyrics

Oh mama you said son don’t take it for granted, there’re so many ones out there who do not have it as easy
Oh mama you said son don’t take it for granted, there’re so many ones out there who do not have it as easy
I saw smoke risin on my horizon, my paradise was being burned to the ground
All I never did, and could have done, and now I’ve got to do it the next time around
Sometimes it’s hard to figure out whether you’re damned or blessed, when with the good comes bad and with the more comes less, when everytime you try fi clean up you just end up in a mess, don’t go dwelling on the thought you’re not as lucky as the rest. If life is a test I wan confess that I passed it, before my last breath when I rest in my casket
You might have tried your best yesterday, but don’t try no less today
Oh mama you said son don’t take it for granted, there’re so many ones out there who do not have it as easy
Oh mama you said son don’t take it for granted, there’re so many ones out there who do not have it as easy
Easy, some don’t it easy
Remember there is always somebody who’s got it worse. Someone who can’t quench him thirst or him hunger. Don’t take this race too literally it’s not bout getting first..it’s the greed and the jealousy goin take you under
In life you’ll take some licks just don’t forget how much dem hurt, cause without the bitter you won’t know what sweet is worth. If you stumble take a tumble..get up brush off di dirt, go find ya formula and make it work
There’re no limits I’m all up in it, life is love and I’ve fallen in it. Come get caught up in it cause nothing looks better on you than a smile
Oh mama you said son don’t take it for granted, there’re so many ones out there who do not have it as easy
Oh mama you said son don’t take it for granted, there’re so many ones out there who do not have it as easy
Easy, some don’t have it easy
Easy, some don’t have it easy
You’re cryin for what you don’t got , but some are dying for what you do
Life’s hard and that’s just the truth but don’t you use that as an excuse
You’re cryin for what you don’t got , but some are dying for what you do
Life’s hard and that’s just the truth but don’t you use that as an excuse
Oh mama you said son don’t take it for granted, there’re so many ones out there who do not have it as easy
Oh mama you said son don’t take it for granted, there’re so many ones out there who do not have it as easy
Oh mama you said son don’t take it for granted, there’re so many ones out there who do not have it as easy

Orange Grove Den Haag, Netherlands

Many tours and a few albums later, OG is finally at their moment of truth. Somebody close to the band fills us in: “They are about to drop something big and heavy, so naturally it will make a very loud thumping noise and even people who were not paying attention will hear it.” ... more
