Thankful

You see me, let me tell you bout me
 A nigga like me, I'm prayed for
 I'm thankful for everything
 God just hear my prayer, I just know I'm alive
 Every mornin' when I wake, I hit my knees, and pray
 I'm so thankful, I learn a new lesson everyday
 I was schemin', runnin' wild, and then I caught a case
 I was locked up in a cage, that's when it all came to my brain
 Keep your head up, Kodak, get out there, just do your thing
 Get your bread up, Kodak, you ain't got no time to play
 I was fed up, lost a lot, but never lost my faith
 Cause there's reason's, I go through what I'm goin' through today
 Had to tell myself, "Kodak, you don't bother, you in trouble"
 Had to tell myself, "Fuck my friends, cause all I got is my brothers"
 Then I told myself, "Fuck these hoes, all I need is my mother"
 Cause I realize, that I wouldn't be shit without my mama
 Please forgive me Lord, know you understand that it's a struggle
 Just a lil boy, in these streets, got caught up with the hustle
 This for my two brother's, all we got is each other
 I would be nothin' without em, that's why I love em
 I gotta say prayer, I gotta stay positive
 Imma step up to the plate, won't run a way, like my father did
 Try to put my nigga on, but he didn't stick to the code
 I ain't tryin' that shit no more, I'm just gon' keep my focus on
 I gotta keep movin' forward, I can't get caught up in my ways
 I been lost out here like pacman, feelin' like I'm in a maze
 Steady leanin' off promethazine, I ain't got no medicaid
 It's destined I'm gon' see my blessings, gon' be better days
 You wasn't worried bout me then, why you worried bout me now?
 Thank the Lord for what I got, cause I use to wear Fila
 Niggas tryna boss me out, been up, but I've been down a lot
 Everything is temporary, don't get comfortable in your spot
 You could be droppin' your girl at work, he'll be runnin' up in your spot
 My niggas locked up, watchin' the clock, I can't wait until he drop
 Kinda brace up on the wall, when I talk they drop the wall
 You should want me to excel, why you wanna see me fall?
 I been coughin' all night, it done really got severe
 They say I should get it cured, before it get even worse
 So they gave me cough drops, but I'm drinkin' cough syrup
 In the coupe, I'm tryna splurge, and I'm fine off the herbs
 Skrrt, skrrt
