Be Thankful

Rite now a nigga just feelin real good

Thankful 4 evrythang that's goin down 4 me rite now

4 all dis 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 'causeinz 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 dis 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

U 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

U 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 cunt

But it's time 2 make a change

So i rock up my rhymes like krack kokane

I'm in da game

Much luv 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 luv 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

'cause my brutha wuz like a good neighba den like state farm

Peeples always sayin wut 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 dis 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
