I Wanna Thank You

(I wanna thank you, pimps and players)

(For sharing your game with me)

(I wanna thank all of the hustlers)

All the hustlers

(For showing me your life on the street)

C'mon, that's right

(And I know)

And I know

(That I'll never forget you)

That I'll never forget you

(Forget about you)

Sprinkle me, man

Sprinkle me, man

Laced up by the best, check it out

Marinatin' on the corner with a chip in his phone

You can tell that the Hillside was his home

Mo' scrill than the rest of the pushers

'Cause he got a chop suey in the bushes

Dice game, craps, puffin' on Taylors, drinkin' Boilermakers

M.D. 20/20 mixed with Boone's, Farm's and Olde English

Around the clock, deuce-four-seven, three-sixty-fifth

Does your bass rock up above, dead right, twerkin' over shit

Business boomin' off the buzzer, and I'm a happy camper

Till the homey beat his bootch down for no reason with the Zenith hammer

Thangs started gettin' sloppy, dude started rollin' over

**** started steppin' on dope and stretchin' the crack synthetic yola

Turf got hot, hella heads got shot on dead-body soil

Po-pos on that ass like hot baby oil

Play your cards right, son, everybody can have cash

But you gotta get in and out if you expect 'em to last

(Wanna thank you, pimps and players)

Pimps and players

(For sharing your game with me)

For sharing your game with me

(I wanna thank all of the hustlers)

All the hustlers

(For showing me your life on the street)

For showing me your life on the street

(And I know)

And I know

(That I'lI never forget you)

That I'll never forget you, that's real

(Forget about you)

Sprinkle me, man

Lace me, man, lace me, man

I was sprinkled at a young age

Laced Donald Trump tight, taught by the best

Some of them still livin', some of them done been put to rest

But I was blessed and luckily I made it out

But I must confess, I wouldn't've made it without

The big timers, the top-hats, the tycoons

The street hustlers, the pistol packin' Daniel Boone's

That put it down and paved the way, for me to say

The things I say, and I'm proud to be straight from the Yay to U.K.

I spits this big time, talkin' shit all day

Nationwide, from where I stay to where you stay

Be like the savage beast, keep yo' game creased

Stick to the rules and don't be sellin' out to no police

I always paid attention when the game was preached

Had all the street slang and the latest speech

And now I'm makin' more mail than a oil-well

Up all night, tryin' to get my money-orders right

(I wanna thank you, pimps and players)

Pimps and players

(Pimps and players)

(For sharing your game with me)

For sharin' your game with me

(I wanna thank all of the hustlers)

All the hustlers (All the hustlers)

(For showing me your life on the street)

C'mon, for showin' me your life on the street

(And I know)

And I know

(That I'll never forget you)

That I'll never forget you

That's so damn real

(Forget about you)

Sprinkle me, man, sprinkle me, man

Suga, sprinkle me, gal, Suga, c'mon, sprinkle me, gal

It started from my mama, hard-headed and all

She said, "Only the strong survive, Suga, stay strong"

Seein' a bunch of fools, that used to ride

Smob, stay jobbin', knew they was raw

Without a pot to piss in

Used to drive through the turf in them candy paint Benzes

I've run all this game that the hustlers pop

Spittin' enough game to keep a notch on the jock

Now the game's the same, but the players changed

Ain't nothin' but a thang, keep it real, mayne

Timer, timer

That's my ****, sprinkle thee

Paper chasin', steady flowin' to the dome

It ain't no place like home

Pay my respects and give my contributions

To all the soldiers on the streets and in the institutions

(I wanna thank you, pimps and players)

I wanna thank you, pimps and players

That's right

(For sharing your game with me)

For sharing your game with me, uh

(I wanna thank all of the hustlers)

All the hustlers

(For showing me your life on the street)

That's so damn real

(And I know)

And I know

(That I'll never forget you)

That I'll never forget you

(Forget about you)

Lace me, man, uh, sprinkle me, man, c'mon

That's real

Sprinkle me, man, that's right

Lace me, man

Sprinkle thee

(I wanna thank you, pimps and players)

That right? 40 Water, from the C-L-I-C-K

With my sister Suga T

(For sharing your game with me)

Lettin' y'all know how we do it up in the Yay

7-0-7-4-1-5-1-0

(I wanna thank all of the hustlers)

That's the car I roll with

And it goes for all the hustlers nation-wide

(For showing me your life on the street)

Pimps and players

For tyin' my shoes and lacin' me up, uh
