Appreciation

If it wasn't for the money train y'all be still be watching soul train re-runs
Look at all that we done
Y'all boys are peons
My families in tact that's how I know that we won
And how we begun
Primetime like Deon
In the nightclub counting stacks to like threesome
50-50 We'd agree on
Cool people popped up spitting that Freon
Like a Decon shine like a beacon
If you haven't heard of Reese Daruler do you recon
I don't need no crutch nope to lean on watch who you put your knee on
Freddy Krueger get your dream on
Above the rim Leon I puts my team on
For everything that I be on
With no appreciation

I don't need the appreciation
Matter of fact you can keep the appreciation
I think I earned the appreciation
Matter of fact I deserve the appreciation

Now all eyes on me I'm the main attraction
I strike a pose when that camera start flashing
You remember that Maybe you don't
You was prolly drinking Similac maybe I won't
Date myself or play myself if I rate myself
I'm pretty wavy if I do say so myself
These pretty ladies gotta stay on they shelf
Cuz I'm tryna live righteous
Take it to a higher level
Ooh I know you like it when that bass kick in with the treble
Why she smiling at the kid tryna get me in trouble
Man I gotta stay away from them devils
Hold on
I mean I know that I'm grown
But temptation is a mothership
And doing right is on another ship
I ain't doing dirt just to cover it
And because of it I'll probably never get no gratitude

But that's cool that's cool
I just wanna kick it with you
And I'm grateful for you
And the things that we been through
Together its just me and you forever
I'm not really tripping girl
We can do it
You don't even have to thank me girl
Cuz I'm doing what I gotta do

I don't need the appreciation
Matter of fact you can keep the appreciation
I think I earned the appreciation
Matter of fact I deserve the appreciation
