Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Everything that I been through
I just thank GOD that I am still here
Had to keep grinding
I gotta show you that I'm bout my biz
Pops beat cancer
I just thank GOD that my Pop is still here
Homie had 10
I just thank GOD that he dodge all them years
This for my for homies in the M-town
You keep living that life man you will drown
And you so lost to the streets it don't love you
Man look at these bodies they keep adding up
All because you think you tough cause you tatted up
Get ya life together stop wit the acting bruh
Don't you realize you can change ya situation
Don't you realize you can change ya situation
But I guess you wanna be dead wit a toe tag
Cause you say you in the streets wit em big bags
So you ride round the city wit that fake cash
Wit a chick by your side wit her fake ass
Goodness I'm upset I don't even curse
I just want you to understand what you really worth
Not seeing you young riding in a hearse
I rather you old when you hit that dirt
All of this pain through the years
I just thank GOD that you are still here
All of this pain through the years
I just thank GOD that you are still here
All of this pain through the years
I just thank GOD that you are still here
All of this pain through the years
I just thank GOD that you are still here
This for my homies on lockdown
Did some wild stuff in ya lifetime
You keep grinding hard but got knock down
So you picked up that glock and you robbin now
You finessin in these streets you anit piping down
Or you pimpin these chicks got em locked down
Don't you realize you can change ya situation
Man I really hope you change ya situation
Everything that you been through
I just thank GOD that you are still here
Had to keep grinding
I gotta show you that I'm bout my biz
Pops beat cancer
I just thank GOD that my Pop is still here
Homie had 10
I just thank GOD that he dodge all them years
Everything that I been through
I just thank GOD that I am still here
Had to keep grinding
I gotta show you that I'm bout my biz
Pops beat cancer
I just thank GOD that my Pop is still here
Homie had 10
I just thank GOD that he dodge all them years
This for myself when I'm feeling low
I gotta think bout others when I'm on this road
Didn't get this far all by myself
I had plenty people and I had plenty help
Kept grinding kept going never gave up
Even when they laughed at me didn't care much
Paid it no attention opinions really don't matter
Especially when im still here fighting all my battles
Man I really cried when my bro passed
Why he had to go and kill himself man
Cause we really had plans to get this doe man
But I guess all this stress was too much man
Sometimes I think bout his life so I rap
To help others with their life I cant get him back
Some reason people still wanna hate on that
So I be freeing my mind when I write my raps
All of this pain through the years
I just thank GOD that I am still here
All of this pain through the years
I just thank GOD that I am still here
All of this pain through the years
I just thank GOD that I am still here
All of this pain through the years
I just thank GOD that I am still here
This for my homies on lockdown
Did some wild stuff in ya lifetime
You keep grinding hard but got knock down
So you picked up a glock and you robbin now
You finessin in these streets you anit piping down
Or you pimpin these hoes got em locked down
Don't you realize you can change ya situation
Man I really hope you change ya situation
Everything that you been through
I just thank GOD that you are still here
Had to keep grinding
I gotta show you that I'm bout my biz
Pops beat cancer
I just thank GOD that my Pop is still here
Homie had 10
I just thank GOD that he dodge all them years
Everything that I been through
Had to keep grinding
I gotta show you that I'm bout my biz
Pops beat cancer
I just thank GOD that my Pop is still here
Homie had 10
I just thank GOD that he dodge all them years




Man its GOD's Grace
That is the reason that we are still here
