I Wanna Thank You |
Yo, you can’t fake it |
Life’s only what you make it |
Front, be a snake, mess around, get your wig hit |
Ex-school boy who wanna go and try to take shit |
Found his body, in the projects, naked |
I ain’t gonna lie, If I wasn’t doing this now |
I’d probably’d be tied down, in a small town |
With my eyes on a couple of guys |
With their eyes on a couple of pies |
Cause I will survive |
Brains, is the key to the game |
If you ain’t got none, what good is a shotgun? |
If you ain’t got guns, then you better cop some |
Cause the New World Order’s around the block, dun |
Streets be where Lox get their props from |
Check us on the Internet, L-O-X dot com (lox.com) |
A worldwide message, I try to express it |
The best I could, for ya’ll to cherish, till I perish |
I wanna thank you, heavenly Father |
For shining your light on me |
It’s been a long time |
Since I had someone to love me |
I owe my thanks to thee |
They never expressed, that life’s a part of death |
They never go there, but you can blow here |
Do 25 to life in greens from Lo wear |
Outta nowhere, you in the bus, hands is cuffed |
Can’t call your Mom, dog, you know times is rough |
You was out yesterday, stressing a better way |
Funny thing, they always seem to lock down Kings |
And the thugs on the street just love to say, «It's all foul.» |
Watch the honeys check your style |
Worthless, when they worship, what you purchase |
They only see ice, not me, under the surface |
What’s the purpose? |
I just, go my way |
Know my way, 'till bullets blow my way |
Which they might, cause any night can change your life |
Keep your state of mind tight and remain alright |
It’s plain to fight, but different to shoot |
You minute |
If you ain’t 10 different ways to get loot |
I wanna thank you, heavenly Father |
For shining your light on me |
It’s been a long time |
Since I had someone to love me |
I owe my thanks to thee |
Hey, yo, we handle rap like we do the street |
Holding heat |
It’s them same crooked niggas |
Washing dough, ain’t nothing sweet, word |
Buying beats is like copping grams |
Niggas got too many scams |
Give you garbage, slide the butters to their mans |
That’s aiight, though |
Cause even ready rock gets sold on our block |
Watch us turn nothing into nitro |
And we don’t mingle |
Cause none of us don’t really know you |
From the heart, we never talk to strangers |
So why start? |
Anyway, we’re rapping for this luxury shit |
I watch wild niggas blow |
See how plush shit can get |
But we ain’t trying to kiss ass to blow up fast |
We gonna take our time and rely strictly on the rhyme |
If I, wasn’t that cat, Sheek Lucian, that rap |
Would you still be my man |
And pass your bottle to my hand |
Would I be in the rain |
While you pass me in the Land |
Oh, you think by now that I don’t already know your plan |
To get next to me and possibly sex me |
Then slip Ecstasy inside a nigga’s Pepsi |
Money’ll never amount to respect, B |
And you don’t wanna test me |
Cause God blessed me |
I wanna thank you, heavenly Father |
For shining your light on me |
It’s been a long time |
Since I had someone to love me |
I owe my thanks to thee |
And I know |
I know that it could not happen without you |
I know it could not happen without you |
