Thank You

Why must I persist on taking
The road less traveled
Longing to leave
My own footprints
In the sand
Knowing I'm the first
To leave my mark
On this new endeavor
Only God knows
What lies ahead
I️ chose this path
So I️ will
Walk it proudly
Basking in the ambience
Of new adventures
And a change of faces
Looking back to see
My lone footprints
I️ exhale, turn around
And move forward

Each year
I get a lil wiser
Long nights
Flashbacks
Drinking
Budweiser
Kids getting older
Hair getting grayer
Key to survival
Hard work and prayer
And i dance across
The stage
Fred Astaire
Some watch
Some listen
She in her phone
Texting
While the pastor preaching
Reaching for ya soul
Strippn on a pole
Fall deep in my thoughts
Like a black hole
Used to watch
Hoop Dreams
And
Soul in the hole
Thought I had to play ball
To get mom a home
Got the shot water
Crossover nice
Cut two forty off
My first boulder
Changed my life
Gotta kid on the way
Wasn't hustling right
Got a GED
Joined the Army
Changed my life
For the better right
We'll see

I was blind now
I can truly see
Just wanna say
Thank you for all you do for me
Grateful for the blessings
You give to me
There's more yet to come
Just wait and see

I was blind now
I can truly see
Just wanna say
Thank you for all you do for me
Grateful for the blessings
You give to me
There's more yet to come
Just wait and see

Finished basic training
Some home training
Two babies and a wife
Now I'm contemplating
Back dooring
With my old hoes
Never got caught
But god knows
Cut the marriage short
Got a degree
And a third kid now
Gotta feed em B
A study session gone left
Couldn't get my lifestyle
Grab my kid and she left
Before my baby boy
Was trying fill the void
Odd jobs
Backwoods
Holla at ya boy
Alternators
Storefronts
And fan belts
I refuse to
Just perish
Sitting on the shelf

I was blind now
I can truly see
Just wanna say
Thank you for all you do for me
Grateful for the blessings
You give to me
There's more yet to come
Just wait and see

I was blind now
I can truly see
Just wanna say
Thank you for all you do for me
Grateful for the blessings
You give to me
There's more yet to come
Just wait and see

Dont need high dollar jeans
To get true religion
Stay in my scripture
Fellowship with my people
Breaking bread
Sharing stories
Having cloth talk
Its ok to talk the talk
But walk the walk
What I had brewing
Wasnt in gods plan
I still plan at times
But its subject to change
You appreciate the sun
When you been in the rain
No pain no gain
I guess Betty Wright
I fall down
On my knees to you
Every night
Asking forgiveness
Mercy
Leniency
Ima just sit back
I know u ain't done with me
The best it yet to come
Just wait and see
Just wanna say
Thanks for what
U do for me
Open my mind
And my heart
Give my soul to thee
I know Im not perfect
Just work with me
The third times a charm
And thats a wrap B
