[Buffalo Stille]
|
I¡¯m filled with mirth and I¡¯m smilin¡¯
|
Find me in a church on Mount Zion
|
I used to think I was cursed like ¡°The Shinin¡¯¡±
|
A lot of folks is worse off than I am
|
I¡¯m truly blessed no denyin¡¯
|
They say do your best, and I¡¯m tryin¡¯
|
But sometimes your best just ain¡¯t good enough
|
You get yourself in a mess, but things lookin¡¯ up
|
So before they break us,
|
We¡¯re gonna make it like 40 acres
|
People do anything for this paper
|
Get a shape up with a sporty taper
|
Just so you can look fresher than your next door neighbor
|
Make yourself seem major and impress some stranger
|
Found Christ and now I got a new lease on life
|
You can hate all ya want¡¦IMMA BE ALRIGHT
|
|
Chorus

[Fish Scales]
|
|
Me and you step out
|
The whole hood with us baby
|
Ain¡¯t nobody left out
|
Ain¡¯t nobody ?????
|
Cuz they know we here to help out
|
Ballin¡¯ in the spots where our grandparents ??????
|
Man it¡¯s a new day, listen to the kids
|
Let ¡®em know it¡¯s them we care ¡®bout
|
When I hit the dance floor, tell ¡®em take the snare out
|
Turn the bass up and start a soul train line
|
It¡¯s a Nappy Roots record, let the whole thing ride
|
Still can¡¯t believe how the soul train died
|
We gon¡¯ bring it back like it¡¯s ¡°Coltrane Live¡±
|
It¡¯s all in a moment¡¯s notice, ain¡¯t lyin¡¯
|
Granny got tears in her eyes, but she ain¡¯t cryin¡¯
|
It must be the joy that she feel when I rhyme
|
At least I¡¯m on TV for somethin¡¯ other than crime
|
If haters gon¡¯ hate me for that then ?????
|
Cuz God say I¡¯m cool with him, I¡¯m busy tryin¡¯
|
|
Chorus

|
[Skinny DeVille]
|
|
Yo, and we gon¡¯ make it through these hard times
|
Life has a way of gettin¡¯ good when you keep tryin¡¯
|
Never givin¡¯ up with you think you fallin¡¯ behind
|
Always on your way up sometimes you have to remind
|
Ourself to keep it movin¡¯ fast forward, never rewind
|
Do what ya gotta in the process, try to be kind
|
Try to keep it positive and things will start to rebound
|
And sooner than you know it opportunity will peek out
|
Get yourself together, keep it cool and never freak out
|
Take it one day then the next and haters keep out
|
Your business cuz they¡¯ll try to stop your motivation, bring down
|
Your spirits and your chances for success at the same time
|
But not for long, after rain there comes the sunshine
|
Take it as a blessin¡¯, it can only happen one time
|
In ya life, and if it never happens twice take advantage of the day
|
Cuz in the end¡¦
|
|
Chorus
