Count Your Blessings

Yeah, yeah, yeah lifetime
 A lifetime, yeah, yeah
 Whoa, I got a story look...
 [Max Minelli]
 It goes, too many enemies, not enough friends
 Too many people struggling killing me, not enough ends
 Where do we go from here, my stormy night done disconnected my life
 It felt like they disconnected me from my life
 I'm making plans but they crumble, these days it's hard to stay humble
 When dope done turned my neighborhood to a jungle
 And many niggas stumble, fucking the thin line
 I ain't no killa but look I will to defend mine, then shine
 In time I'ma get it right, I'm respecting my life
 I'm grabbing, holding, kissing, hugging it tight
 Hoping I'll make it through the rest of the year
 Cause I don't what was worser the World Trade, or the death of a leader
 It's like the message is clear, I'm still here, God must got a plan
 So I keep holding back the rest of my tears
 I don't know if he testing my fate, or testing my fears
 I just respect it as the blessing it is, cause a blessing it is aiight
 [Chorus: Russell Lee & Rasheed]
 Ooooh-oooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
 I done lost a lot of friends in my lifetime
 Ooooh-oooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
 I done shed a lot of tears in my lifetime
 Ooooh-oooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
 I done felt a lot of pain in my lifetime
 Ooooh-oooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
 But I'ma make it through the rain in my lifetime
 [Baby Beesh]
 Now I'm just saying though making my music, it's for my money
 I'm just saying though, pulling the zags within the dummy
 I'm just saying though, some thangs that'll make you laugh'll make you cry
 That's how it goes partna, why ask why
 I'm off promethozyne, sticky green, off the herb soldemzyne
 In between all around, they can't stop the underground
 Baby Beesh off the leash, the Lone Star governer
 With Happy P rocking Northern and the Southerner
 [Low-G]
 And if I follow the sun, it took me right back to the huntho
 What I love the most, my streets, my life and my music
 And I started thinking, about the words he once told
 Is he coming, is he goes only God knows
 So fuck that, I ain't gone quit till my last stage
 So if I live by it, I'ma die by it
 I got to survive living each stage in my hard life
 Yeah, you know
 [Chorus]
 [Grimm]
 So many years out of town, could of been with the fam
 But if I done stopped back then, I wouldn't be where I am
 All the vans, flashing cans, grabbing hands at them shows to do
 Can't get too close to you, what am I suppose to do
 Those of you, that all been thinking of the good life
 Should try, to be attracted with the hood life
 Good bye, two of the things you take for granted
 Like a night with all your family without a psycho fanatic
 [SPM]
 I'm so use to the streets, I feel at home in the hood
 I just couldn't leave, I'm forever Hillwood
 Fuck luxurious, but everyday a stupid bitch
 See me and say, I don't give a fuck who he is
 I'm so new to this, living like Julious
 I'm known for cruising whips, and doing boys the ugliest
 In this game there's only two things I need
 My nuts and my gun, hold up that's three
 [Chorus]
