Trailblaza - Thankful lyrics

rate me

Verse 1:

Count to 60 while I swiftly adjust

Take a sip from my cup,

Sit, we got shit to discuss

I keep it...

Smooth, maneuver like glued intruders

I'm cool as jewels & ice cubes infused in Mullers

I'm eatin'

This take me back when

Filas was poppin' I was mackin'

Steady askin' which hoe was boppin'

Niggas watchin' as I left her crib

No other option but to dap 'em like "oh yeah I hit"

Knowin' I missed

Headin' home had to walk the strip holdin' my dick

Feelin' cool was only 12, such a fool

My nigga B got clicked up & went & bought a tool - $300

Not sure if he was down for war or he was tired of runnin'

& what's real...

We seen more ppl fall than rise

Went from Spalding ballin' to little league

Had to watch everyone of 'em die

If not spiritually than literally

Now figure me, no father no brother, no cousins

Was just a teen never thought of no colors - was hustlin'

No self esteem if you wasn't clean it was painful

But through it all still got my heart and my soul and I'm thankful

Hook:

I'm thankful

Thankful

Cause I finally made it through

Through

Verse 2:

Count to 60 while I quickly adjust

Pour some 'Cris in my cup,

Sit, we got shit to discuss

Now peep this...

Smooth maneuver, like glued intruders

I'm cool as jewels, ice cubes infused in Mullers

No secret

This take me back when

Forces was poppin', started rappin

Re-enacting what I was watching

And I'da signed a deal for a chain

An iced out grill & a range

Just to peel in the lanes

Rain drippin' while I'm liftin limits

Insane scheming had me dreamin'

Grippin' golden pendants

My flows extended

I'm suspended, help me stay afloat!

Had my chances with 2 labels but I lost em both!

Dawg I was close!

But what's real...

We see more people fall than rise...

Go from Spalding ballin' to little league

Had to watch every career die

Dawg, if not spiritually than literally

Now figure me front in center to witness the business

& how your greed'll take over potential

& end it

It hurt to see what you could've been, it was painful

But through it all, still got my heart & my soul so I'm thankful

Hook

Bridge:

Back when I was smokin' two black and milds & a cigarette

Frying away my intellect

Dying inside, ryding the transit bus twice a day

Patted down every morning, detectors to check for weapons, investigating my

Crime, that's the game that I chose to play

Money, hours, my patience, my innocence, friends, & benefits, sweat minus

Tears

That's the price I had to pay

Hop a flight, handle business, double profits, save & spend it, rock

Exclusives

Hoe I meant it what more do I have to say?

Man I'm thankful
