Life is Good Company
The Life Is Good Company is a New England–based apparel and accessories wholesaler, retailer, and lifestyle brand founded in 1994 and best known for its optimistic T-shirts and hats, many of which feature a smiling stick figure named Jake and the registered trademark "Life is good."
History
In 1989 brothers Bert and John Jacobs designed their first T-shirts. They began selling their designs in the streets of Boston and out of an old van at colleges and street fairs along the East Coast of the United States. In 1994, following a not-so-successful road trip, they returned to Boston, unsure of the future of their business. It was their common practice to gather friends at their apartment following such trips to share stories and to ask their friends to comment on drawings and sayings posted on their living room walls. On this occasion, one drawing received considerable favorable attention from their friends — the head of a beret-wearing, smiling stick figure and the phrase "Life is good." The brothers named the character Jake and printed up 48 shirts bearing a smiling Jake and the words "Life is good." At a street fair in Cambridge, Massachusetts, the shirts sold out in less than an hour.{} The brothers began to sell T-shirts and hats featuring Jake in local stores. Demand for the merchandise grew quickly, as did national recognition of the brand.

Life is hard, life is cruel
Life is so beautiful
Ooh yeah ooh yeah
La life is unbelievable
Oh yeah oh yeah
La life is unbelievable
On my way to garden city

A guy named patrick gives me directions
And he smiles as if he cares
It reminds me of this movie

No more sorrows, your dreams came true
So knock on wood and cross your fingers
And count your blessings

If he so loves the sun
Rock rock on
Yo I be slippin a rippin the party till the break of dawn
If you love rich nice
Or you hate rich nice
Take my advice and just live up your life (cause its yours)
[m.o.p]
Hey if your messn with the sacred world
Its a never ending test
I dont know where to begin
And I feel Im at an end
I dont wanna live life
Doing petty nonsense
Its hard to sleep at night
With a guilty conscience
You know its really a mess
Now I feel blessed
When 20 minutes from now
Itll all turn to stress
Im 27 years, all those brownsville cheers
Im stuck with all the blood, the sweat and the tears
Baby its on,
A mother sheds tears at the same time a baby is born
On the other side of town a life is lost
A young thug was knocked off and the heat was tossed
Damn
Life is real, its so trife
But dont stop now live your life
I know its hell for the rough
But dont talk down on your man,
Unless your helping him out
Its yours
So what would you do if you wake tomorrow
No more sorrows, your dreams came true
So knock on wood and cross your fingers
Now count your blessings
It might be you
So what would you do if you wake tomorrow
All your gray skys have turned blue
How many days do you think your given
So get on livin, its up to you
Life is good
Life is great
Life is unbelievable
Life is hard, life is cruel
Life is so beautiful
