Thank You - Young Buck, Cherae Leri

I was always thought to be thankful

You know?

Thankful for every fuckin' thing that you got, you dig?

First there was one set of footprints in the sand

We do so much in these streets homie, man

No, once was a boy who now became a man

I can’t be mad about shit dowg, you know

God bless the child who can hold his own

God bless the child who can get to the check

You told him to grow up, and now he’s all grown

You know what’s up with me homie

What if I didn’t shoot back?

What if I seat and let you get wracked?

What if I put it in the meal and you didn’t get that?

What if it was your pair of socks that was big smatch?

You do all the snatching but this time you got your shit snatched

Think if I didn’t pay this «bag pay»?

What if I didn’t go to hole, but I always meet you half way

What if no blunts was in this extray

Would you be ready to roll on this roll to get this bag of yay?

What if tomorrow was your last day?

Ever wake up in the morning just to find out you passed away

You been listening to every word that the pastor say

Just forgetting you have to pray, you got to say:

Thank you

For everything I done been through

For everything I did and I didn’t do

For every night in the pen, no one to visit you

For givin' me the streets to see the bullshit this niggas do

Thank you

For everything that I lost too

For making me have to go make me boss newly

For every night in that pen I couldn’t get through to you

For giving me the street to see this bullshit this bitch do

Thank you

What if I took it and didn’t pay for it?

What if I woke up to it and didn’t have to wait for it?

What if we just gon do it and don’t say the date for it?

Think if I just seat here and do nothing they gon hate more

Used to always kicking theirs, now its your door

Used to lay them down on theirs, now is your floor

What if it was in one of theirs, that’s was your boy?

Gasing up for ass threw it over and took four more

What if you didn’t run that bread light

And them kids crossing the streets, then see you flashing your head lights

What if I didn’t have my bread right?

Would you except it if you used to expecting brown but it stayed white

You saying yeah, what if I say I’ll bite?

What if they playin on sending bullets your way and I looked and said aightt?!

Think if it was you walking through this winder

Looking for a heat, just don’t think I don’t remember

(Lord)

Thank you

For everything I done been through

For everything I did and I didn’t do

For every night in the pen, no one to visit you

For givin' me the streets to see the bullshit this niggas do

Thank you

For everything that I lost too

For making me have to go make me boss newly

For every night in that pen I couldn’t get through to you

For giving me the street to see this bullshit this bitch do

Thank you

Thank you for counting me out

Thank you for making me the underdog

Thank you for all the hatred

Think if I’ve posted all the comments in a modji

What if I just posted all this «bommas"in this rollie

What if I just take off all this jewerly would they know me?

What if I say I’m trying to find my way would they show me?

What if I tryed to keep it rolling and they tryed to hold me

Would you still be here if I let all this shit control me?

Think if I did let this bullshit coming for me

What if my kids had to go through all this by they lonely

What if I wasn’t so consistent and I did it slowly?

Think if that 300.000 $, you say I owe you, you owe me!

What if I told you I listened to everything you told me?

Just to do it different from every way that you showed me, now I’m telling you:

Thank you

Thank you

For everything I done been through

For everything I did and I didn’t do

For every night in the pen, no one to visit you

For givin' me the streets to see the bullshit this niggas do

Thank you

For everything that I lost too

For making me have to go make me boss newly

For every night in that pen I couldn’t get through to you

For giving me the street to see this bullshit this bitch do

Thank you

(I just wanna say, I just wanna say

Thank you…)
