Thanks

Amen praise him for black gold Came up from where the crack sold Used to walk to school with the cracked soles Saturday cartoons for my black soul Yeah, I used to want the Jordan's I know mom couldn't afford them Said them shoes ain't important They ain't gonna get you endorsements Just another kid from the projects Different type of fear you can't process Bills overdue that's our stress 9 Bodies to a three bed apartment Rent past due and the lights off Enough to make a grown cry y'all Head to the sky ask why lord This is life and I'm quite sure Hmm Good kid, but a hood kid Nobody cares if you live Born in the belly of the beast like I'm food yeah Another lost soul with a few tears Ain't nobody here to console me Mom sent me to store for the groceries I see the police they patrolling Think I'm not hip but I'm knowing that I could die today Thanks Thanks Thank you for waking me Never forsaking me I just gotta say thanks Thanks Amen Wish a nigga would try me But I ain't got my ID Cops all they wanna do is harass us Frisk us and ask us Call for they back up But without a badge would you act tough Without a gun would you be brave Black folks ain't got rights these days Act tough prolly not Officer you can't contain me in this parking lot No probable cause then I'm walking out Then I hear boy You better watch your mouth Hmmm that's real cute I know that ain't the real you Plus I know couple thugs that would kill you You can bleed red but you still blue Yeah too true 12 Act like they bullet proof You could get hit in that uniform Cause you still a bitch in that uniform Now I'm face down on the pavement Ugh Whole life is in danger Fast forward I'm in county with the strangers Could've been another dead nigga but I'm thankful That didn't die today Thanks Thanks Thank you for waking me Never forsaking me I just gotta say thanks Thanks Amen
