i'm just happy to be here!
you know just goin through it man
tryin to make a way out of no way
momma had to work three jobs
feet stickin through my shoes
garage sales and flea markets
we never shopped at malls
no medikit - we poor like rain
colored folks think that castor oil cures everythang
prenavil pills and hydro-chlorizide
some of my family still living
natural causes and homicide
nothin to lose but plenty to gain
flea flickin and servin that candy cane
put all my cars in my lady name
worked at planned parenthood
with a hoodie over my head
tryin to outslick the feds
at this point in time i only had rocks
went from a little a jelly jar up to a soup pot
the fast quarter my negro
don't want the slow nickel
i done seen yola the same color as peanut brittle
i done seen hella people relapse
i done seen my homey grandparents go back to crack
how sick is dat? beggin my loved ones to send some pictures
pray for me over the phone and read me some scriptures
oooh; it's gloomy out here
god got my back but the devil he want my head
i'm just happy to be here right now
lot of my folks been locked up or laid down
see i'm sayin i ain't shed no tears
but i'm just happy to be here
the devil-me side know that some of y'all done seen it
somebody's momma washin her son or her daughter's bloodstain off the cement
wrong place at the wrong time
but her baby live through a c-section
i know it sound foul and sound hecka rude
but it go down like that sometime when you're funkin
and you're puttin down a move
we heartless and shrewd in this day and age
our parents need to beat us with a belt
i be high like an airplane
takin out anger and stress on the wrong person
re-uppin and coppin turf an' just servin the soil block
grittin tryin to put some gifts in my kid's christmas stock'
ooooh - pour out some liquor and shed a tear
for the homies that never made it and family that ain't here
to beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
