Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Mane fuck all these niggas
That's why I keep my ruger
But I thank em, gracias I thank 'em
When my pockets be on broke mode
Smokin' on this mota
I thank em, gracias I thank 'em
If am rich as fuck I thank 'em
If I'm stressed out I thank 'em
For today I thank em
If I blow your ass away
It could've been me so I thank 'em
Forgive me Lord, but I thank 'em
Eh, okay not everything for sure
Thank you lord yeah he know so
No help where I come from
When you're city so poor
My ghetto, man I love my ghetto
Trappin' out my ghetto
Swangin' off that yayo
Pocket it was solo
Ready for that elbow
Watching for the popo
Marked up and I know so
All day they on patrol
But they have no control
BET no Visa, no j's it was Reebok
Talking in [?]
Locked up for thank Jesus
'Cause I could been dizzy (dizzy)
Fifty countin' a to z
Thank you lord and I know so
All about my go role
Gotta stay on go mode
Favorite gun is a ruger
Any know I'm a true one
Many don't hellujah
In a eye of a shooter
So you know ill do ya
Pocket it was breakin'
Stomache steady aching
Trappin' out of vacant
But I had to take it
'Cause I could been dizzy (dizzy)
From the streets to BET I did it
Real hood nigga can't stop me
Can't clone me or copy
Chances to recopy
Haters can't believe me believe it
Jesus, thank Jesus believe me
In "Gracias," Snootie Wild reflects on his rough upbringing and how he's had to work hard to make it; he thanks those who have been obstacles in his life, as they have only made him stronger. He opens the verse by stating his distrust in others, stating that he keeps his Ruger to defend himself against everyone. However, he also thanks them for providing him with inspiration and grinding through difficult times, and thanks God for the way he's overcome these hardships.
Snootie Wild then talks about his love for his "ghetto," or where he comes from. He's had to make his way out of difficult situations constantly, and this has fostered his fierce determination to succeed. He's constantly watching his back (for the popo) and he's always on the lookout for the next big break. He acknowledges that his chances of success are slim, but he's determined to make it anyway.
The chorus emphasizes his gratitude for everything he has, whether he's rich or poor, and how he would not be where he is today without the obstacles he's faced.
