Latrell James - Candles lyrics

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
