Lil' O - Thankful lyrics

rate me

[talking]

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

[Hook x2]

[Lil' O]

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

[Hook x2]

[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
