I remember the recording session of this track. I got a call from my dad, while I was in the booth. So I asked him to drop a few lines, but the connection was bad, we couldn't get him clearly. But skip that, I went to the Hannz Records that day with the idea of recording a club banger. Something to make the girls "shake they stankin' ass" in the club. But I came out with one of the most IMPORTANT songs of my career in my opinion.
See I can always write a "Boss Vaawo" and a "Fire". That's easy. But something like - TOAST TO LIFE- comes up every once in a while.

I drew a lot of inspiration from Biggie's Juicy, Pac's Life Goes On and Jay's Roc Boys, in order to write this song.
TOAST TO LIFE LYRICS
Verse 1
Let's Toast to what we've achieved-
Cuts and Bruises/
Everything that made us bleed-
Shakers, Movers/
Everyone who made us see-
A new avenue to double up on our G's-
The Saints, The Judas-
The Hate from Losers-
We're so high up/ it's not the same air that we breathe-
But we Toast to them-
Hope that brings Hope to them-
If not/ they need a new trick up their damn sleeves-
Let's Toast to new lives born-
Soldiers in our war/ hope tradition carries on-
This is who we are/ action we can get it on-
Toast to UGAFLOW- everytime that we perform-
Toast to the Writer's pen-
Quotes of the fights we win-
Even Toast to the fights within-
We're in/ 'till it ends// or-
'Till we're sent for-
But until then/ we TOAST TO LIFE coz we're involved.
Verse 2
Many lives lost-
But we don't shed a tear-
We celebrate they were here-
So let's Toast-
Your house became a home-
So lets Toast to the mothers who stood firm/ and helped us all stand strong-
Where I come from-
Father's are dead-beat/ so let's Toast to those who helped their kids grow-
What we're here for-
Moving forward/ so let's Toast to the end of year's progress report-
Pour nothing out/ these drinks never go to waste-
So we fill glasses up/ and serve grapes-
Guess it's coz we're Royal-
Cut from the same cloth/ so we're loyal-
Toast to you/ coz we're here for you-
Hear from you-
So it's only right that we share the same view-
We reminisce as we drink it slow-
It's only right/
We TOAST TO LIFE/
Coz we're involved.
