See God been real good to me in my life 

So I just wanted to take time out to thank him, you know 

Cause I'm a cat that's been through a lot, and me just 

Being alive and free right now, rapping this to you 

Is a blessing to me, you know 

Cause a lot of the cats I grew up with 

Did thangs, but they all dead or locked up you know 

So it's just a blessing for me to say hey man, I'm still here 



[Hook x2] 

See I'm just thanking God, that I'm here 

I'm 'posed to be, behind bars doing years 

Or in the graveyard, with my peers 

Street life, it's hard but it's fair 



[Lil' O] 

I swear to God I was the kid, that was 'posed to be the President 

Who would ever think, I'd call the jail house my residence 

Got caught with the evidence in seventeen, four and a half 

Two down cash, a 3-80 and a triple beam 

Life ain't what it always seem, I ain't always gleam 

I ain't always have, but a playa always dream 

Took Penitentiary chances in the streets, to get this green 

I know I'm young but I can't wait, I want the best of thangs 

Money made us crazy, crack made us lazy 

Fuck a job dog, a 9 to 5 couldn't pay me 

I ain't know no better then, I was just a baby 

I fell in love with the streets, but the streets betrayed me 

Killed all my partnas, turned good girls to boppers 

Some of these boys to junkies, all the rest is locked up 

So much drama in my life, but this ain't a opera 

The only way I made it through, was thanks to the Father

[Lil' O] 

When we jumped in the game, we knew we'd taken a risk 

But ain't no way in hell we thought, that we would end up like this 

The FED's just got Kenny Lou, on some conspiracy shit 

And I probably won't see Mark, till 2000 and 6 

I take a sip of the Belvey, it helps me to calm my nerves 

Cause the price of living wealthy and healthy, when moving birds 

In a city like Houston Texas, where everybody on the grind 

And we was raised since little kids, that we gotta shine 

We live with baller minds, killed for dollar signs 

You drop your ball, everyone go grab a hollow mine 

Pray for the children in the streets, not just Columbine 

Because we dying everyday, it's a sign of times 

Man this life of mine, is filled with death 

Sometimes I feel guilty, that my lungs filled with breath 

A thousand dollars man, they killed my nigga Norris for less 

And because of that I know that I'm blessed, it could of been me 



[Hook x2] 



[Lil' O] 

It's a shame when you walk down, memory lane 

All you see is niggaz ghosts dog, picture my pain 

And I don't bar witness fool, I've seen the sickest of things 

My partna died, just because he put his dick in a dame 

See if it ain't the HIV, it's the Penitentiary 

Or these niggaz trying to get you, for your motherfucking cheese 

That's why I stay low key, and try to duck and dodge the heat 

Cause I don't want the Boulevard, to try to swallow me 

See I'm a real G, but I ain't gon lie 

Everybody talking tough, but I don't wanna die 

At least not right now, Lord I'm too hot right now 

It's a lot of shit I want, that I ain't got right now 

Lord, I can't stop right now 

I don't want my daddy yelling out, not my child 

At a funeral, man this life so wild 

We need Christ right now, man 



[Hook x2] 



[talking] 

I wanna dedicate this one to everybody we lost 

In the struggle, DJ Screw, Fat Pat, Big Mello, Mafio 

B.G. Gator, all my dogs from the block man 

Cornhead, Lil' Ag, Lil John, man there's too many 

Of y'all to name mayn, Lil' Norris mayn 

Miss all y'all boys, all my partnas on lock mayn 

Black Ass, Kenny Lou, Mark, Pig 

Man I love all y'all boys mayn, Lord man there's too 

Many to name mayn, but I pray for y'all every night man 

Love life and respect life, God bless
