Sum cuzinz, uncles, nephews an' neicesAn' nun to say da leastest hectic
Wit 2 boyz of my own, spanky damn near grown
Sittin' in his room just bangin' my songs
As I roll anutha joint an' make a call on da foneIt's Pretty Tony it's on an' crackin' my *****
It's ya big bro I herd ya rappin' my *****
Evrybody an' there mama duin' dis rap thang
I'm thankful dat my lil' brutha ain't in da hood bangin'Just be thankful for all ya got
If it's just a little bit it's all ya got
You mite not have a car or big gold chain
Stay true to yaself an' thangs will changeJust be thankful for all ya got
If it's just a little bit it's all ya got
You mite not have a car or big gold chain
Stay true to yaself an' thangs will changeMan my sista ben gone for about 10 munths
Stedy smokin' bluntz an' **** wit da same ****
But it's time to make a change
So l rock up my rhymes like krack kokaineI'm in da game, much love to my nigga Snoop
It woodn't be crackin' wit out you
I woodn't be standin' in deez black walla C's
I'd be back in da hood wit dem G'sFrum kidnaps an' jacks, knockouts an' craps
Frum totin' Tech-9's, to shankin' on da main line
Timez iz hard we all caught up in da struggle
Whites, Blacks, Mexicans it's troubleYung kids, we got a man made disease
I lost my mom so now I'm prayin' on my knees
Did y'all take care of y'all ha luv wuz precious
Now l got my daddy, sistas an' homies God bless usJust be thankful for all ya got

You mite not have a car or big gold chain
Stay true to yaself an' thangs will changeWe ben through sum tuff timez mom late on rent
Tryin' to get mine husslin' like Larry Flynt
No food in da fridge but we wuzn't alarmed
'Cuz my brutha wuz like a good neighba den like state farmPeeples always sayin' wut they need an' want
But they need to start wit they du's an' don'ts
Just be thankful for day to day
An' evrythang will be goin' ya wayNow ain't it odd to thank God, we moovin' in gangsta toyed
We live an' die by tha sword an' still we thank tha Lord
Frum da maternity ward to tha morgue, I count my blessins
It's a game I should but can't afford but I ain't stressin'I'm E-S-in 4 mines it's all gunna pay off in da long run
An' no rest on da grind man a ***** just out here on one
Stayin' strong all alone or hangin' wit my clique

My motto wuz my ancha an' for dat I can't thank ya enuffYou mite not have a car or big gold chain
Stay true to yaself an' thangs will change
