I Got Life

Be thankful for what you got
(sometimes i just)
(the gift of life), (sit back)
Cause you never know
When you might lose it
(an just reflect on what's really)
True word, (going on you know)

I may not have
All the things that I want
But it's OK
Ama, smile anyway
Cause I, I, I got life, (Be Thankful)
Ah, ah, ha ha, aahh
I may not have
Fancy cars
And the girls might not
Think im cute at all
But I, I, I got life, (Be Thankful)
Ah, ah, ha ha, aahh

Puffing on my joint
Let the smoke in the air
People only know you
Up top, you hear
When you down bottom
Breathe in, exhale
Cause that's when they
Really don't care
Got a couple friends
Some stick around
Some hit the Bend
But you know me
I stayed true, to the end
Hit them off, with my last
But they spit, on me
Like I'm, nail to the cross
And when the end
Of the world comes
And God, say
What you do to yourself
I'll say, I gave my soul
To the music
I got feelings
Please don't abuse it
I not saying
That life is all great
An I don't get strike
With hate
But disillusion
Bring confusion
Trust issues
I just, got to
Air it out in the air

I may not have
All the things that I want

But it's OK
Ama, smile anyway
Cause
I, I, I got life, (Be Thankful)
Ah, ah, ha ha, aahh
I may not Have, fancy cars

And the girls
Might not, think
Im cute at all
But I, I, I got life
(Be Thankful)
Ah, ah, ha ha, aahh

Life is so easy to lose
You can get it poured down the drain
Like juice
People entertained
By the news
And my mind is stuck
In the ill Street blues
But Nas gave us street dreams
So I got up
And I grip up
Gotta get on my grind
Gotta get this money one time
Gotta get something in this world that's mine
Cause if the world
Take, a piss on me
I'll get back up
An a flip shit, on them
That's just how
The sequence work
Now watch me while I put in work
Cause if it's up too high
And I can't get it
I'll get a ladder
Then I'll climb to my reach
Real man do real things
This is real real man

I may not have
All the things that I want, (Yeah)
But it's OK
Ama, smile anyway
Cause
I, I, I got life, (Be Thankful) (I got life)
Ah, ah, ha ha, aahh
I may not have
Fancy cars
And the girls
Might not
Think im cute at all
But I, I, I got life, (Be Thankful)
Ah, ah, ha ha, aahh

Tales of a less fortunate
Even though you so fortunate
My nickel is not enough
To pay the rent
I'm short of a dime
So I'm about to be
Out on my behind
Yeah, I try to do right
But it's so hard
To get a job around here
Sorrow and despair
And it seems like
Nobody care
But I see something
Cross the street
Looking nice
I think about going
Over there with my gun
And ask real polite
No I mean like Yo
Drop down
Empty you pockets
Give me what you got
Ca my belly hungry
And I can't stand that
But then I look to the sky
And I said to myself

I may not have (What will happen If)
All the things that I want (I lose my life)
But it's OK
Ama, smile anyway (Yeah,)
Cause I, I
I got life, (Be Thankful)
Ah, ah, ha ha, (Once you got life You got
Everything You know I mean) aahh

I may not have
Fancy cars, (Yeah)
And the girls might not
Think im cute at all
But, (But), I, I
I got life, (Be Thankful), ah, ah
(That's right, I got life) ha ha, aahh

Yeah, no matter
How rough it get
You know I mean
You got
To value
God's gift to you
You know
Yeah, your life
All right
Good night
That's enough
I'ma go Smoke
