See God been real good to me in my life
|
So I just wanted to take time out to thank him, you know
|
Cause I'm a cat that's been through a lot, and me just
|
Being alive and free right now, rapping this to you
|
Is a blessing to me, you know
|
Cause a lot of the cats I grew up with
|
Did thangs, but they all dead or locked up you know
|
So it's just a blessing for me to say hey man, I'm still here
|
|
[Hook x2]
|
See I'm just thanking God, that I'm here
|
I'm 'posed to be, behind bars doing years
|
Or in the graveyard, with my peers
|
Street life, it's hard but it's fair
|
|
[Lil' O]
|
I swear to God I was the kid, that was 'posed to be the President
|
Who would ever think, I'd call the jail house my residence
|
Got caught with the evidence in seventeen, four and a half
|
Two down cash, a 3-80 and a triple beam
|
Life ain't what it always seem, I ain't always gleam
|
I ain't always have, but a playa always dream
|
Took Penitentiary chances in the streets, to get this green
|
I know I'm young but I can't wait, I want the best of thangs
|
Money made us crazy, crack made us lazy
|
Fuck a job dog, a 9 to 5 couldn't pay me
|
I ain't know no better then, I was just a baby
|
I fell in love with the streets, but the streets betrayed me
|
Killed all my partnas, turned good girls to boppers
|
Some of these boys to junkies, all the rest is locked up
|
So much drama in my life, but this ain't a opera
|
The only way I made it through, was thanks to the Father
|

|
When we jumped in the game, we knew we'd taken a risk
|
But ain't no way in hell we thought, that we would end up like this
|
The FED's just got Kenny Lou, on some conspiracy shit
|
And I probably won't see Mark, till 2000 and 6
|
I take a sip of the Belvey, it helps me to calm my nerves
|
Cause the price of living wealthy and healthy, when moving birds
|
In a city like Houston Texas, where everybody on the grind
|
And we was raised since little kids, that we gotta shine
|
We live with baller minds, killed for dollar signs
|
You drop your ball, everyone go grab a hollow mine
|
Pray for the children in the streets, not just Columbine
|
Because we dying everyday, it's a sign of times
|
Man this life of mine, is filled with death
|
Sometimes I feel guilty, that my lungs filled with breath
|
A thousand dollars man, they killed my nigga Norris for less
|
And because of that I know that I'm blessed, it could of been me
|
|

[Lil' O]
|
It's a shame when you walk down, memory lane
|
All you see is niggaz ghosts dog, picture my pain
|
And I don't bar witness fool, I've seen the sickest of things
|
My partna died, just because he put his dick in a dame
|
See if it ain't the HIV, it's the Penitentiary
|
Or these niggaz trying to get you, for your motherfucking cheese
|
That's why I stay low key, and try to duck and dodge the heat
|
Cause I don't want the Boulevard, to try to swallow me
|
See I'm a real G, but I ain't gon lie
|
Everybody talking tough, but I don't wanna die
|
At least not right now, Lord I'm too hot right now
|
It's a lot of shit I want, that I ain't got right now
|
Lord, I can't stop right now
|
I don't want my daddy yelling out, not my child
|
At a funeral, man this life so wild
|
We need Christ right now, man
|
|
[Hook x2]

|
[talking]
|
I wanna dedicate this one to everybody we lost
|
In the struggle, DJ Screw, Fat Pat, Big Mello, Mafio
|
B.G. Gator, all my dogs from the block man
|
Cornhead, Lil' Ag, Lil John, man there's too many
|
Of y'all to name mayn, Lil' Norris mayn
|
Miss all y'all boys, all my partnas on lock mayn
|
Black Ass, Kenny Lou, Mark, Pig
|
Man I love all y'all boys mayn, Lord man there's too
|
Many to name mayn, but I pray for y'all every night man
|
Love life and respect life, God bless
|
