Thankful by King C.P Lyrics
[Prelude: King C.P]
"You honestly think i can't make it in Roanoke?
Y'all niggas be dissing Roanoke like y'all really can't make it out of here or some shit"
[Prince Troy]:
"Make it out of here, we can't make it in this shit"
[King C.P]:
"Well, nigga i'ma be the one to make it in this shit
And it's gonna be 10 times liver, when i'm in the city, i'm working in the city.."
[Verse 1: King C.P]
Let me tell the story and I’d say i know I’m a star
Let them tell it, I wasn't even supposed to make it this far
Thankful i grew up with both parents
Loving parents
It’s a blessing just to be able to be who you are
Adopted as a baby
Wide-eyed, memories hazy
Thankful they saved me
From a life of too many “maybes”
Like maybe you’ll find a family
And maybe go off to college
And just maybe live long
They were strong and i promise I’m
[Chorus: KingC.P]
Thankful
(yeaah yeaah yeaah yeah)
(yeaah yeaah yeaah yeah)
For all this life I got to see
If someone’s watching over me
Whoever it is I’m thankful
(yeaah yeaah yeaah yeah)
(yeaah yeaah yeaah yeah)
For all this life I got to see
I’ma be what I wanna be
[Verse 2: King C.P]
Yea i drink, yea i smoke
Bitch i'm human, what that mean to you ?
Hoe im droppin’ knowledge so who cares if I can't drop the roof ?
Had to face the truth
About 4 years ago in a baggy suit
Facing a judge that could’ve killed this shit and locked away my youth
17, life came at me fast
Really thought that I could get away wit’ 12 on my ass
Fools
We was riding wit bb guns that looked like real tools
Fuck the judge, we was lucky enough that we ain’t make the news
Fuck the gangsta shit in life when you got a lot to lose (lot to lose)
Either you bout’ the life or not and you can’t pick and choose
(pick n’ choose)
Put my parents through the worst just to feel amused (feel amused)
But I do this all for them I guess im paying dues (paying dues)
My nephew 5 now and picked up basketball at school
My niece get bigger everyday, and now she talking too
They what I think about whenever I’m bout’ to lose my cool
Fam over everything
Can't fuck wit’ you if you break the rule
Every year around this time I just like to reminisce (reminisce)
About all the times, all the hoes, and all of the bullets missed (missed)
Rest in peace to those we lost too damn quick
My city been on some shit
Fame always comes wit’ a twist
[Chorus: King C.P]
But I’m thankful
(yeaah yeaah yeaah yeah)
(yeaah yeaah yeaah yeah)
For all this life I got to see
If someone’s watching over me
Whoever it is I’m thankful
(yeaah yeaah yeaah yeah)
(yeaah yeaah yeaah yeah)
For all this life I got to see
I’ma be what I wanna be
*gunshots*
