Wonderful Life (feat. Akon)

I hope you don't mind

I hope you don't mind

That I put down in words

How wonderful life like

Making yo momma proud, looking in yo daughters eyes

Kickin' it with your sons, trippin' never realize

How good you got it, been so wrapped up in yo losses

You couldn't see the profits, could still be in the projects

Instead releasing projects just poppin' when **** floppin'

So you went back to prison, TIP it could've been a coffin

Now since we talkin' you been trippin' ever since I died

Appreciate you missin' me but G, you still alive

I'm lookin down at you, and sendin' smiles to you

I check the record now, oh tell Tameka hi, would you

Told you she would get you, that's good 'cause shorty ride wit you

Kids getting big, seen King riding a bicycle

Saw Niq Niq drive a car, see Bubba big as you

I see Domani Rappin, and he's spittin' too

Little Deyjah beautiful, and Major super cool

My life is over with dawg, your life been good to you

And you can tell everybody

This is your song

And you can tell everybody

This is your song

I hope you don't mind

I hope you don't mind

That I put down in words

How wonderful life like

Sit down son

And listen to me son, and pay attention to me

Seems like I'm the only one that you would listen to

I never knew the time that i ain't get to spend with you

Would ever result in you making yourself miserable

You gotta let it go, it's painful, I already know

The past is the past, just learn from it, grow

So you got Mystal wit you and your sister Precious too

I'm proud of you, did better than I expected you to

Although I knew you was special when you was smaller

That's why i was so much harder on you, knew you were smarter

Not much convo to offer, I wasn't much of a talker

Great to see you doin' better than me, even as a father

Taking care of yo mama, overcoming the drama

Your life is wonderful son, don't let 'em take it from you

Keep living it to the fullest, treasure it, it's a blessing

Be thankful for all this beauty, when it's over with forget it

And you can tell everybody

This is your song

And you can tell everybody

This is your song

I hope you don't mind

I hope you don't mind

That I put down in words

How wonderful life like

Damn

What up Phil, so good to hear from you

We missing you

Remembering all of our conversations, daily reminiscing you

The good the day they low, could tell they don't know who to listen to

Today I watch over Jeanette,

Like she was my own and that could be difficult

I swear it's so unfair that I'm right here and you up there

I miss you so much now to the point I call your name but you not there

Now I can't rest and I can't do shit

Off my mind, I'm so upset

It wasn't your time to leave me yet

It broke my heart to see you dead

Shot with bullets that were meant for me

Family's never forgiving me

I know, but all I could do was follow your memory

But pops I thank you so much for leaving

I had to grow up

Slinging crack on the corner ain't quite the future you wanted for me

Was it? and this pain I feel it never goes away

Does it, this load I carry get no lighter

I grew up all on my own

With a broken heart and a broken home

Taught me everything I've known

Owe you everything I own

I must admit you raised a warrior, my life could be a story book

Hope you proud of me, didn't graduate from college but

Thanks for listening to me

So long I had it bottled up

'Til we meet in person let's keep speaking through my verses for life

And you can tell everybody

This is your song

And you can tell everybody

This is your song

I hope you don't mind

I hope you don't mind

That I put down in words

How wonderful life like
