Fo' Clips - Be Thankful lyrics

[Chorus] "Diamond in the back, sunroof top Diggin' the scene with a gangsta lean Oooooh" -William DeVaughn [Verse 1: FO' CLIPS] 18 years old, fresh outta school Not much to do, but run with my crew Times gettin' hard, don't have no car Pockets on low, wouldn't sell dope Can I succeed, music indeed? Puttin' hits down, waitin' for royalties Can it get better? It feels like forever Still thank the Lord, he opened these doors Honey blunt burn slowly, homies hit they 40's Street corner gettin' lonely ?? to S-T how time pa**ed me Livin' life positively, too near me not to hear me No gangsta white walls, but I still stand tall Givin' my all to all of y'all Thank God for what I have, even if I don't have What? [Chorus] x2 "Diamond in the back, sunroof top Diggin' the scene with a gangsta lean Oooooh" -William DeVaughn [FO' CLIPS] For what you've got [Verse 2: FO' CLIPS] Isn't this a trip how life goes on, on and on Without you knowin', that you gone That's why we ever givin' parties In my town, Compton majestics keep it stompin' Hunnies smokin' ?? lookin' kinda cute to me Step to me, cause I'm Fo' C-L-I-P It feels good, done swung, hit a home run Livin' in ?? pads, smokin' a fat one I thank Almighty for these ends Put myself in the rag 4, put moms in a benz I'm not sure exactly what you can do But whatever you do, pursue and keep your peace and God with you This goes out to the east side, west side True ridas, new ridas Get off your a** and pa** y'all lighters And help with what you do have, even if you don't have [Chorus] x2 "Diamond in the back, sunroof top Diggin' the scene with a gangsta lean Oooooh" -William DeVaughn [FO' CLIPS] For what you've got [Verse 3: FO' CLIPS] I'm lookin' at myself as a role model now A young black male, came up from the Comp-town Doing the best that I can to survive I didn't have much but I still had my life I had to make a choice to get up and get somethin' Mad at the world, wasn't thankful for nothin' Pops in my ear, but I'm hard, ain't hearin' Ain't puttin' paper in my pockets so I wasn't listenin' Don't get me wrong, I got love for moms and pops to the fullest But I got dreams of makin' it in music Pursued it, and now I'm so caught off them ghetto streets Include that the ghetto still shall rest me The reason why, because I can't forget where I came Compton, the city where we dip on gold thangs I'm thinkin' back on the past Damn, a BG didn't have, but I gotta ?? Now I'm thankful for what I have Cause I didn't have it... [Chorus] repeat 'til fade "Diamond in the back, sunroof top Diggin' the scene with a gangsta lean Oooooh" -William DeVaughn [FO' CLIPS] For what you've got
