This is the first day In the rest of your life Take it serious [Verse 1: Windchill] Yo, the sun breaks the horizon Jimmy rises on his birthday Opens his eyes to what seems like a normal Thursday Celebration was in order He called his closes friends And got his mother to watch his daughter A single father who just turned 21 He could die of war drink at the bar and buy a gun The stress on his head must of weighed a ton Reduced to livin' the life of crumbs Now he's off to the bar To celebrate his day of birth They all left at the same time But his friends made it first The whole ride there Jimmy felt he could burst And turned his 97' Accord into a Herse So on the way to the bar He stopped by a church Conversating with God about his life and his work
Talkin' bout his baby mom and how he wish it would work He said he'd take her back despite the fact she drugged him through the dirt His eyes overflowed tears ran down his face His heart started beating at a rapid pace All the good times at the bar would have to wait He crashed the car- paralyzed at the waist This was the first day In the rest of his life He became oh too familiar with those lonely nights Yo' he mighta' changed the future but held onto the past Watch your step, life can come at you fast [Chorus X2] This is the first day In the rest of your life You betta' know what it's worth or at least think twice About the life that you just had to escape This is the first day This is the first day
