letra de thankful (lord knows i try ii) - the don emcee
(hook)
thankful
sometimes you just got to be thankful
thankful, thankful, thankful
thankful
sometimes you just got to be thankful
thankful, thankful, thankful
(verse 1) the don emcee
never forgotten from the cradle to grave
lost souls from hard beginnings
wonder why the caged bird stays singing
them thoughts of hope
of better days enough to provoke
any soul standing on that corner
pushing them thangs off the block for sho
the industry’s air tight
you rhyme nice and they could give a f-ck less though
rough riding the mainstream till it blow
now they think they got flow
thinking you cute son a lot of y’all scared of the truth
you want the hits your dumbass should be seeking the truth
lord knows i try and mama ain’t raise no fool
i’ll school you to the game
and make it simple and plain could blame it
on me or the block i’m from
turn your back on me watch my style turn to buck wild
known for being hard to maintain
i have it said and done
my mind state got me wanting to go and crack cranium
i try lord
(hook)
thankful
sometimes you just got to be thankful
thankful, thankful, thankful
thankful
sometimes you just got to be thankful
thankful, thankful, thankful
(verse 2) the don emcee
they could wanna see me fall
it’s been a long time coming
that same voice telling me to stop
always kept me running
no one can depict how far one will go to live their dream
saying i’m in, finally understanding the dream of a king
living in that world of fantasy without forfilling reality
tryna make it out the hood dazidly
you could be the spotlight or just that n-gga in it
notice your own kind looking at ya sorta different
wishing i could’ve taped my body to the refrigerator
wishing i could’ve save my past for late
should i have listened when they told me
to stay away from the hood when it was all good
cause now i’m a hood dude with ghetto dreams
tryna make it out no doubt
while the words that i speak
stories put along rhythmic like to a beat
you on that hustle
choosing mind over muscle
suffering for the sins of those that came before us
thinking life is too much
now you living to die
cause you the type of guy to cry
and no one bother asking why
not knowing who to turn to when life is far gone
cause it’s the same people i trusted
i be tryna stay away from
i try lord
(tina jean on the hook)
thankful
sometimes you just got to be thankful
thankful, thankful, thankful
thankful
sometimes you just got to be thankful
thankful, thankful, thankful
(homie from marcy on skit)
sometimes you gotta let go and let god handle
you know what i’m saying?
but yo man it’s hard, it’s really hard
i got such a malicious thought man but i know if i do that, i’m harming myself as well. cause that’s gonna jeopardize my life and my freedom of going to prison, and i ain’t tryna see that prison sh-t no mo man
