Thanks Mom by Mani Coolin Lyrics
[Verse 1: Mani Coolin']
I used to think life would be like
What I thought life would be like when I was like 10
10 bedrooms, big house looking fix
Around the same time I used to play Eminem
And niggas I would kick it with were still my friends
But they ain't no friends, they just trying to make ends
Forget where you started, it's about where you went
It's about what you win, about what you win
Where I'm from don't make me me
Made myself, ain't get shit free
Money ain't everything but having it is
Money made all of my family split
Split that check they still want more
Trying my shit they still want more
More on my mind till [?] everyday
Tell myself, I say that the world is yours
Know my life, earn my stripes
Lot of niggas went left trying to get right
Write my little raps and I pray every night
Trying to get better when I drop every time
Trying to make all y'all respect my mind
Trying to make all y'all respect this grind
Trying to make sure that before we all go my momma get to see her own son shine
[Hook]
But I just need some more time momma
So they can see your son shine momma
Oh I just need some more time momma
So they can see your son shine momma [x4]
So they can see your son shine
[Verse 2: Mani Coolin']
I know that it's hard
Trying to find a way out
Outside when it's dark, them niggas don't play 'round
Lost and I needed a way out
Trying to play the safe route
Cause niggas go to jail
And niggas be dying, mommas be crying in the city I'm in
Fuck trying to be cool, fuck that school
They never understand what I was trying to do
Trying to get truth, do this for you
Don't dare play me, hope for the youth
Pray for us all, too many niggas fall
Lots of us niggas to the streets trying to ball
Still answer when you call
I ain't never been a fraud
I ain't never been perfect, we all got flaws
I ain't never want to cut none of my niggas off, if they not around then that was they fault
That was they call, they chose that shit
[?] would've make it, I know that shit
War would've make it, can't blow that shit
Shit blow up quick, then shit get drastic
I know shit happens, but shit I'm standing
It's hard to stand out when everybody rapping
Everybody rambling 'bout what they want
Not putting in work but they still trying to stunt
Put your pride to the side and your goals in the front
And your stresses in the back and you might get you some
Might make a mill from it, might get a deal from it
Might keep it real with you, now keep it one hunnid
Like say the realest shit that anyone heard of
Everybody heard, make everybody love it
