GAPPY RANKS - Thanks & praise lyrics

[Chorus - Gappy Ranks] Even though it's hard It gets rough Looking out mi life I've been through so much stuff A million times mi could a runaway But mi stand firm Because mi know seh mi must make it one day [Chorus - Delly Ranx] Nuff people playa hate The devil and him friends dem a try test mi faith And a million times mi could a runaway Like a plane pon di runway [First Verse - Gappy] They say I never make it But on the road mi coulda turn mi never take it It was so easy to be a drug dealer (Jah know) Peer pressure coulda turn mi inna k**er [First Verse - Delly] Gappy dem fool nuh get you down Mi stand up pon solid grund As a ghetto youth from Kingston town Words dem a fling out a road coulda break my bone Mi know dem from in di first round [Chorus] [Second Verse - Gappy] When push come to shove mi nuh sell out Sometime mi feel like mi locked up and mi wan fi get di hell out True badmind a gwan mi have some fake friend fell out When problems arise dem a dip out [Second Verse - Delly] But true, me purer than the water dem a drink I'm nothing false, I know when dem I ? And I go make dem never push me over the brink For me foresee the things dem a think [Chorus] I was born as a Ranks Grow up as a Ranks Like the great Delly Ranx so mi have fi give thanks Mi a shine like a star dem see mi from a distance Oo when badmind a chat mi, mi nuh response I was born as a Ranks Raised as a Ranks Like the great Shabba Ranks, Gappy Ranks, Cutty Ranks Badmind keep yuh distance The hypocrite people they need no response [Chorus]
