be thankful

Against The Current

Rite now a nigga just feelin real good
Thankful 4 evrythang that s goin down 4 me rite now
4 all this happiness an success
A nigga just str8 thankful 4 evrythang you know
You think it s eazy bein me na hold on dogg
Let me explain sumthin to all of y all
I got a mama an a daddy 3 bruthas no sistas
Sum cuzinz uncles nephews an neices
An nun to say da leastest hectic
Wit 2 boyz of my own
Spanky damn near grown
Sittin in his room just bangin my songs
As I roll anutha joint an make a call on da fone
It s Pretty Tony it s on an crackin my nigga
It s ya big bro I herd ya rappin my nigga
Evrybody an there mama duin this rap thang
I m thankful dat my lil brutha ain t in da hood bangin

Just be thankful 4 all ya got
If it s just a little bit it s all ya got
You mite not hav a car or big gold chain
Stay tru 2 yaself an thangs will change
Just be thankful 4 all ya got
If it s just a little bit it s all ya got
You mite not hav a car or big gold chain
Stay tru 2 yaself an thangs will change

Man my sista ben gone 4 about 10 munths
Stedy smokin bluntz an fuckin wit da same c***
But it s time 2 make a change
So I rock up my rhymes like krack kokane
I m in da game
Much love 2 my nigga Snoop
It woodn t be crackin wit out you
I woodn t be standin in deez black walla c s
I d be back in da hood wit dem g s

Frum kidnaps an jacks
Knockouts an craps
Frum totin Tech-9 s
2 shankin on da main line
Timez iz hard we all caught up in da struggle
Whites, Blacks, Mexicans it s trouble
Yung kids we got a man made disease
I lost my mom so now I m prayin on my knees
Did y all take care of y all ha love wuz precious
Now I got my daddy, sistas an homies god bless us

We ben thru sum tuff timez mom late on rent
Tryin 2 get mine husslin like Larry Flynt
No food in da fridge but we wuzn t alarmed
Cuz my brutha wuz like a good neighba den like state farm
Peeples always sayin what they need an want
But they need 2 start wit they du s an don ts
Just be thankful 4 day 2 day
An evrythang will be goin ya way

Now ain t it odd 2 thank god
We moovin in gangsta toyed
We live an die by tha sword
An still we thank tha lord
Frum da maternity ward 2 tha morgue
I count my blessins
It s a game I shood but can t afford but I aint stressin
I m E-S-in 4 mines it s all gunna pay off in da long run
An no rest on da grind man a nigga just out here on one
Stayin strong all alone or hangin wit my clique
I rite a song rite or rong I m realy bangin this shit
I used ta wonda y we had it so ruff
My motto wuz my ancha an 4 dat I can t thak ya enuff
