Appreciate

Growin' up I was so blessed
I had a loving mom and dad I see them as the best
Some can't even say that, life has put them to the test
Now they stuntin' on the gram now tell me who you tryna impress
I done came up from nothin'
My dad he worked so hard he'd never stop
That's a true inspiration now i walk the way he walk
Still they buggin'
Haters really only really like to talk
Never held they own spot
Buggin' in and out the block
Yea I put God first
And then I put the work and hustle
You would never see me fumble
They gon wanna see you stumble
Still a puzzle
How you think you only got a couple
People never really humble
Vision now just like a tunnel
I use to think it wasn't fair that I ain't had it like that
But compared to other people I was really living grand
And now I'm never gonna put myself up in them shoes again
People dying everyday with envy as they only friend

Appreciate what you got
See that they just only wantin' more won't you stop
You got your family in front of you, yo friends in the block
I be feelin' type of way all eyes on me like Tupac
But I ain't taking any shots appreciate what you got
Yea yea yea yea
Appreciate what you got
Yea yea yea yes
Appreciate what you got
Yea yea yea yea
Appreciate what you got
Yea yea yea yea
Appreciate what you got

My dad he worked his whole life
That's why I won't ever stop
Up until the day I die
I been runnin' out of time
Now I know I'm doing right
I ain't runnin' from no cop
And I don't need no spot light
As long as God is by my side
This ain't just for me
This for my momma too
Yea Im gon have you whippin' out in a brand new Bentley coupe
And Yea it contradicts but I'm just showin' what I would do
I cook up it'll never be nothin' without having a you
I had a lot of friends envy me
Cause of all the things they see
Haters and they fantasies
They view me like an enemy
I swear it's the best
When I put God in the front of me
Don't need any rest
They still only tryna tutor me
Who gon follow me
Nobody but that's good to me
I only need the family
I'm good if you decide to leave
I ain't full of grief
You thought I was someone deceived
And you won't ever feel it free if you don't

Appreciate what you got
See that they just only wantin' more won't you stop
You got your family in front of you, yo friends in the block
I be feelin' type of way all eyes on me like Tupac
But I ain't taking any shots appreciate what you got
Yea yea yea yea
Appreciate what you got
Yea yea yea yes
Appreciate what you got
Yea yea yea yea
Appreciate what you got
Yea yea yea yea
Appreciate what you got

I think way way back
It's a heart attack
Thinking of problems I had to face now I'm more than relaxed
How you be calling yourself a fan if you talking that smack
See how Im livin' my life again and they thinking it's sad
They won't think about no time when I was down in the game
These fakers only follow you if they get part of the fame
And How you happy but you bragging bout the things you don't gain
And I can't mess with any suckas no we call that a lame
I'm up
I know you
They plot
They get schooled
They acting up all new
They the reason yo head screwed
They claim the jungle now the haters they acting like a fool
Appreciate the little things this life has done and brought you
Don't mess up your life if you just wanna do it for the fame
In real life I don't need anybody screaming out my name
Don't know how to appreciate now ain't that just a shame
It's a Double ended sword to only want and want to gain

Appreciate what you got
See that they just only wantin' more won't you stop
You got your family in front of you, yo friends in the block
I be feelin' type of way all eyes on me like Tupac
But I ain't taking any shots appreciate what you got
Yea yea yea yea
Appreciate what you got
Yea yea yea yes
Appreciate what you got
Yea yea yea yea
Appreciate what you got
Yea yea yea yea
Appreciate what you got
