Oh yeah I'm thankful for another
Thank my sister mother, father and my brothers
Say Happy Birthday
Oh yeah I'm grateful for another
Thank my friends and the hating mothef**ers oh yeah
Say happy birthday
I remember when things was oh so simple
Saturday cartoons , Sega, Super Nintendo
Learning my ABC's a n***a stil say LMNO
How it go from that to me getting my first pimple
I f**ing hated school looking all the hell I went through
Sallie Mae on my a**, think they care a n***a rent due
Torn between filling my pockets and trying to fill venues
I could k** a mother f**er but James don't go Orenthal
Un momento I'm about to gain momentum
About to buy family homes I ain't never considered renting
Live enormous or die dormant, Jay thanks for the way of living
Ain't met a n***a that ain't wanna be Jordan over Pippen
Is you kidding, thought I never grow up
Got a room full of folks hoping that I never blow up
Praying that they take off, the same time I slow up
Man don't gets your hopes, egg me on get yoked up
I make these s**ers throw up, tell my exes so what
And since everybody's a boss who the hell gone own up
To living filet mignon lifestyles when their pockets cold cuts
No such thing as penny pinching and pimping n***a hol' up
That's word to Martin Lawrence
Until I'm riding in foreign's
My reign has begun, beware n***a its pouring
When you doing something right. Look at all the ways they eye you
Tryna blow my candles before I do
They told me told do better, but never better than
I let the fools catch up. Btttt never again
I keep it moving n***a, when they was settling in
I felt the rooms pressure, I survived no wonder why
They wanna blow my candles out
One by one
Can a n***a celebrate, cause I made it to 23
Can a n***a have his cake, without you hollering for a piece
By any means, but I still hollering for some peace
But if a s**er disrespects, I'll be hollering get the piece
Give'm a piece of mind before he's left resting in peace
Cuz I wouldn't mind the peace and funerals aren't cheap
You seen the price of a headstone lately
They buried mike in a Promethean, a wooden cross is what Jesus get
Dyings the easiest but living and believing it
Is meaningless, hard to believe the reaper is
A step around the corner, a block from where you stay
And he's always in the hood, that sickos ready to play
Seen the grim grin on the n***a who robbed me for my jays
Man I took them sneakers off and got to live another day
Cuz no material possession worth my well being
Got a few folk pissed to hear that Trell's breathing
I'm doing better than ever, better than I could imagine
No I'm lying doing better than my teachers who told me rapping
Was the last thing that I should be considering success in
Ironic when teachings a average paying profession
Am I wrong for wanting gourmet meals not out the drive thru
This world'll k** a brother ask Janet how they did Michael
When you doing something right, everybody despise you
Tryna blow my candles out before I do
They told me told do better, but never better than
I let the fools catch up. Btttt never again
I keep it moving n***a, when they was settling in
I felt the rooms pressure, I survived no wonder why
They wanna blow my candles out
