Be Thankful -Tha Eastsidaz

Rite now a ni**a just feelin'real good

Thankful for evrythang that's goin'down for me rite now

For all dis happiness and success

A just straight thankful for evrythang you know

You think it's eazy bein'me Na hold on Dogg

Let me explain sumthin'to all of y'all

I got a mama an'a daddy 3bruthas no sistas

Sum cuzinz uncles nephews an'neices

An'nun to say da leastest hectic

Wit 2boyz of my own spanky damn near grown

Sittin'in his room just bangin'my songs

As I roll anutha joint an'make a call on da fone

It's Pretty Tony it's on an'crackin'my

It's ya big bro I herd ya rappin'my

Evrybody an'there mama duin'dis rap thang

I'm thankful dat my lil'brutha ain't in da hood bangin'

Just be thankful for all ya got

If it's just a little bit it's all ya got

You mite not have a car or big gold chain

Stay true to yaself an'thangs will change

Just be thankful for all ya got

If it's just a little bit it's all ya got

You mite not have a car or big gold chain

Stay true to yaself an'thangs will change

Man my sista ben gone for about 10munths

Stedy smokin'bluntz an'wit da same

But it's time to make a change

So l rock up my rhymes like krack kokaine

I'm in da game much love to my ni**a Snoop

It woodn't be crackin'wit out you

I woodn't be standin'in deez black walla C's

I'd be back in da hood wit dem G's

Frum kidnaps an'jacks knockouts an'craps

Frum totin'Tech 9's to shankin'on da main line

Timez iz hard we all caught up in da struggle

Whites Blacks Mexicans it's trouble

Yung kids we got a man made disease

I lost my mom so now I'm prayin'on my knees

Did y'all take care of y'all ha luv wuz precious

Now l got my daddy sistas an'homies God bless us

Just be thankful for all ya got

If it's just a little bit it's all ya got

You mite not have a car or big gold chain

Stay true to yaself an'thangs will change

Just be thankful for all ya got

If it's just a little bit it's all ya got

You mite not have a car or big gold chain

Stay true to yaself an'thangs will change

We ben through sum tuff timez mom late on rent

Tryin'to get mine husslin'like Larry Flynt

No food in da fridge but we wuzn't alarmed

'Cuz my brutha wuz like a good neighba den like state farm

Peeples always sayin'wut they need an'want

But they need to start wit they du's an'don'ts

Just be thankful for day to day

An'evrythang will be goin'ya way

Now ain't it odd to thank God we moovin'in gangsta toyed

We live an'die by tha sword an'still we thank tha Lord

Frum da maternity ward to tha morgue I count my blessins

It's a game I should but can't afford but I ain't stressin'

I'm E S in 4mines it's all gunna pay off in da long run

An'no rest on da grind man a just out here on one

Stayin'strong all alone or hangin'wit my clique

I rite a song rite or rong I'm realy bangin'dis

I used ta wonda why we had it so ruff

My motto wuz my ancha an'for dat I can't thank ya enuff

You mite not have a car or big gold chain

Stay true to yaself an'thangs will change

Just be thankful for all ya got

If it's just a little bit it's all ya got

You mite not have a car or big gold chain

Stay true to yaself an'thangs will change
