lyrics

Bitch nigga see you winning wanna hate it,
Real nigga see you winning and get motivated,
I had to get my bands up to orchestrate it,
If you build it they gon populate it,
I hate had no mentor to follow in they footstep,
Got the pieces found out where to put them,
And it came together beautiful like good sex
We stacking pape rlike a bookshelf,It's gon be my privilege to tell,
How Kartel ran dancehall sitting in the middle of a cell,
And my privilege to tell,The billionaire said he grab them by the pussy got the presidential chair,
I tell my kids 'Hey listen here, he shot an unarmed, black ten and ain't even did a year
This whole country's cursed,
Native American despair still heavy in the air and,
It's gon be my privilege to tell,
How my dad left Nicaragua, met my mom, hit it bare,
Had a baby abandoned it, didn't even care,
If I was eating well or in the cemetery dead but (Give Thanks for life)
I'm the livest boy,
made sumn outta nutten like Macgyver boy,
You hooked on dope if you try the boy,
Got my decimals up, that's besides the point
I give thanks for life,
I'm eating good and my family nice,
I give thanks for life,
Gotta make mama proud,
I done seen what she sacrificed,
If you cold, I'm a killer
If you snow, I'm a blizzard,
If you flow I'm a river,
And nigga said he swole I'm a load my gorilla,
No pork for my dinner,
And i keep my enemies more close than familia(r)
You ever been hitting a play,
And it ain't looking right like a neck in a brace (Give thanks for life)Keep a weapon incase,
Seafood special get a shell to ya face (fuck it)
No nigga can say I borrowed money from em,
The truth hurts everybody running form it,
He said he a killer he aint got the stomach for it,
He was throwing up his dinner i was kinda worried for him,
Nigga I seen death, So close up close I can feel death,
Told Tasha i ain't going Ghost on her and the children,
Just sumn I shoulda been said. I give thanks for life.
