Appreciation Day (feat. Khujo Goodie)

I wanna say thank you to my mama and my daddy

For making love the night that you had me

Wanna thank my friends, my sister and my brother

Mercedes for my peers, damn I love you like no other

I wanna thank my teachers, I shout out to my preachers

I wanna thank my speakers for giving me something to reach for

I wanna thank my fans from the Cali or the Compton

They know in this time I get this motherfucker popping

I wanna say to my cousin thanks for showing love

When I really needed guidance but selling dope or thugging

17 with a gun the day I got arrested

Saved by Irv Gotti, he told me drop my blessing

So many lessons I've learned the hard way

Just look how far we came from hanging in the hallways

Now I dedicate my life to what the song say

There for me, here for you, yeah that's what I'll do

I wanna be there for you, will you be there for me? Yeah, baby

I sent the letter to the east side of heaven

In reason, miss your dollar, nobody did it better

My best friend Bonnie was sitting next to twenty

Until you have your freedom I keep saving money

Seems I've been getting older, from a two-seater to a Rover

Needed more room for Brandy, lil' Henny and a stroller

Gotta live stronger since I went vegetarian

I hope I live longer, dying ain't that scary

So much love I've been giving in my lifetime

Without this music, damn I swear I'd probably lose my mind

She there for me and I'm here for you, yeah that's what I'll do

For me

Ah yeah

Shh quiet, Khujo's coming, okay, okay

Blessings, well, what is a blessing?

Well, a blessing is a gift from the Creator of heaven and earth

To see in all that in the midst

Well, in order to receive a gift from the Father

You must have favor

Well, how do I have favor, man?

By being obedient to his words which are instructions from heaven

Well, what is his word, man?

Well, you can hear him talking, man, in Genesis all the way to Malachi

Man, that's the law and the prophecy

You know what they call the Old Testament

Like yeah, might have heard of that, man

That's what's up

So study this all yourself, approve, man

And get that blessing

Open your hands wide so you can receive your blessing

Don't close your hands, open them wide

How can you receive your blessing when you got your hands closed?

Yeah, amen, thank you, God, for this life

Thank you, God, I'm so thankful

Thank you, God
