Rookie Of The Year - Intellectual

[Intro: Wallo 267]

(Harto cooked this one up)

Dear God

I just wanna thank you for allowing me to be a part of your world

Allowing me to experience success

I wanna thank you for answering my mom's prayers and making sure she don't get the worst phone call of her life

I just wanna thank you for making sure I ain't sitting in that cell

I just wanna thank you for making sure I ain't laying with the dead homies

They can try to act like I ain't the rookie of the year

Like I don't drop the music 'bout how everybody feel

Like I wasn't twenty-four when I went, bought ma dukes a crib

For somewhеre else to livе, I get bigger every year

I put money in a house that I don't never even live

I bought two 'Cats just so when I pull out, I can drift

And I don't drive and I'm Black

The odds against me, when I go out I can die, so I'm strapped

If they try this shit, can't let my mama cry, never that

I can't tell my kids that daddy coming back and don't come back

And now I rap, so what I do, they gon' react off how I act

Can't ask God why he ain't put eyes on my neck to watch my back

Just so I don't get stabbed there

Sins that I commit, can't watch this shit off with no bath, yeah

Can't get used to death, it don't grow on you like how staph do

They say I did some bullshit, I'm just doing what I had to

No, I can never lack, my gun more on me than my tattoos

It was so many days where I, I didn't think I was gon' make it out there

But, uh, you, you, you covered me, God

You made sure that I, I seen tomorrow

You let me know that tomorrow was gon' be better than yesterday

Just don't give up on myself and just keep pushing, uh

I just wanna let you know that no matter, no matter how much success come my way, no matter where I'm going, all the blessings is all because of you

And I'm never gonna let that go

I'm never gonna give up on that

I'm never gon' deviate from worshipping you

I'm never gonna let that go

You're everything to me

Uh, my kids, you blessed they life by making sure I could do everything possible to do for them that wasn't done for me
