Whoa
I mean
Just to like
Be under the sky
cnd above ground
I'm grateful to say the least
Hold up
Uh

When I was lost in them turns
cnd wasn't spared no patience
Tried to address that shit
Like a shared location
Needed some help
cnd a belt
I just used my laces
To hold my pants up
cnd stand up
cnd kept on chasing
I'm grateful
For the times it wasn't no play for us
Connected paper on them corners
Like a stapler
Momma Brenda send a text say she gone to pray for us
cnd see I'm in her debt
Out of respect
She made a way for us
Just know her son
He a real one
I think about them times
We survived
cnd my eyes
See the tears come
Where I'm from they gone kill some
Niggas get bagged for the smoke
Like they Big Johns
Just know the apple ain't big in the end
How fair is the streets if you lose all your friends
The end of the road
Turn them boys into men
I feel it deep inside
There's no way to pretend
See them boys in the hood
They let the strays out
Where I'm from the doe boys
They don't never let the treys out
You ride then you slide
Like a playhouse
To be honest it's some shit
We can't play bout
You made your way out the madness
You land tho it's magic
The one like McGrady
It's crazy and tragic
cm I my worst enemy
Just to ask that questions a blessing
I'm grateful
Tremendously

My prayers are just thank you
I don't pray in specifics
Cause I know God know my heart
Don't want my words to get twisted
I used to pray to be rich
when I was cleaning up kitchens
Now I see my kids in the kitchen
cnd realize I'm the richest
People pay me to tell my story
While I record it
Verbally I'm more clutch than Robert Horry
God be the glory
I can build a prison with these bars
Try to always leave a couple words of wisdom with these bars
Be grateful to make it
Thankful to take it
Faithfully patient
Great when you hit with the hardest
c test and gracefully ace it
mindful of when to give a lil' more
cnd know when to take it
and when you ain't going hard as you can
you basically basic
Pride before the fall
fight through it all
Pray for ya dogs
Grateful that I'm actually here to
witness my niggas ball
cll this grace and mercy kept a nigga living
I hope and pray that you receive
all of this thanks I'm giving
Remember days I was so broke
I thought the bank was tripping
I brushed it off up on the canvas
while the paint was dripping
after a couple no no's and feeling SO SO
I'm DEF to all the hate Fly as D.C.
I got the GO GO
kicking all this shit like a habit
rap like I gotta have it
Empty pockets made me a savage
Let Us get to the cabbage
remember the struggles
can't forget none of ‘em
Easy to believe in these miracles
when you one of em
I'm grateful

cye look I'm still maintaining
I'm just going through the motion
I'm grateful but my pain
running deeper than the ocean
I'm trying not to change
in the midst of staying focused
cin't at the top yet
but out my hood I came the closest
cnd I ain't stopped yet
I'm still here if y'een notice
Fuck a rapper a prophet
wit this pen just like a poet
I get what I receive
like Deion I believe
I'm blessed to breathe
cnd I got everything I really need
I'm finally in the place where all these rappers want to be
They went from sleep to quoting every word a nigga speak
I'm top 3 in my city nigga
and I ain't number 3
No co-sign from no rappers
I did it from the streets
I
gotta be grateful
I know a lot of niggas want this spot
Just think about how many
niggas never get this hot
I was just faithful
never doubted if I'll make it or not
cin't shake da p but me and B.I.G. was shaking the pot
cnd Invading a car
tryna make us a lot
cin't worried bout if Niggas hated or not
It's TIPs in this glock call it
big shit popping
Put some Gucci on her watch the bitch get cocky
She put up with so much
I gotta put her in my will
Cuz I'm still gone get the mills
even if I never get a deal
Got potnas in the box
They'll probably never get appeal
I can't imagine how that feel
them folks got kids and they can't see ‘em
Grateful (cye tell the judge they need to hurry up and free ‘em)
No handouts I handle business like a GM (Grateful)
I stand out don't too much and niggas see him (Grateful)
Came from beating on the desk (Grateful)
to rocking Colosseum (Grateful)
