That's how I did it, son
101
101
101 by one
That's how I did it, son
101
Snuck across the deep blue sea
Big and bright opportunity
Son I began, bottom rung
I'm lion heart, and an iron lung
I'm one in a goddamn million
I'm nothing, if not resilient
Watched the markets crash and soar
Saw politics swap rotten cores
Let us stop for a second, and have just a little fun
I'm blowing out all the candles
Da-na-na-na-na (101)
Da-na-na-na-na (101)
Da-na-na-na-na
Da-na-na-na-na (101)
Da-na-na-na-na
Da-na-na-na-na (101)
Da-na-na-na-na
Da-na-na-na-na (101)
36,865 days I've thrived
Stayed alive
So what have I tried, learned and applied?
The high road is the toughest to ride
No piece on the side, no god to confide
Dyed in my wool, my heart, like my bride
Be honest, be open, be yourself
Don't be afraid to ask for some help
Consider the sources, gauge their gain
Pain is a teacher, perseverance, a lane
Knowledge is a weapon, mothers are sages
Two ears and one mouth, true of all ages
Let us stop for a second, and have just a little fun
I'm blowing out all the candles

That's how I did it, son
