Jay Browne, The Black Ace - Gratitude Lyrics

Yeah, SoSwill, J-A-Y
Look
Niggas with attitude and moments of gratitude
East and west side flags for the latitude
And for this cheddar pack, gats just to clap at you
Say what you want, my nigga, did what I had to do
Women with attitudes and moments they mad at you
Heavenly Father came and took her baby daddy too
Risk everything cause it's nothing that they have to lose
Say what you want, my nigga, did what I had to do
Soul slappers out the boom box
1998
Baby, baby
Born in that 6th month, I rock the mic like Plymouth
Since the first day that I was born, they were sure
I was destiny's child
I was Black but never mild
Had an attitude like NWA
When it came to injustice for my people, I would go crazy
The only thing that's on my mind every second
Is how to allocate my resources and add on my references
That's my resume
Teacher in and out the class, I educate
I never thought that I'd be in this zone again
But I'm going in faster, ugh
Speaking the word like a pastor
Moving through people like Casper
My world has become disaster
Slowly
De la Ace, De la Soul, I'm so home-grown
East Coast, North high, South side, by the by
I'ma shout "BAY" at the top of my lungs
From CT to FL, my legacy has just begun
Niggas with attitude and moments of gratitude
East and west side flags for the latitude
And for this cheddar pack, gats just to clap at you
Say what you want, my nigga, did what I had to do
Women with attitudes and moments they mad at you
Heavenly Father came and took her baby daddy too
Risk everything cause it's nothing that they have to lose
Say what you want, my nigga, did what I had to do
Monday through Friday we grinding so we punch in on the clock
This hood we robbing and riding, aim shots at your top
Police be hiding, they firing the bottom to the top
Nobody hiring so Byron got the bass on the block
The dice game was a metaphor, we never see it coming
The thrill of hope, we gambling away all of our money
Life is just what we see through lenses
They could light my body up, just make sure windows tinted on them Benzes
The epitome of how easy you see pit of me
Shallow as the kitty pool, ya pussy, that's the reason we get pissed on
New year resolution for ya bitch to write her list on
Government grants never hit, so get the chriz-zome
And aim at ya diz-zome, self hatred racing so my own culture I disown
Cycles of my blood being spilled like it's menstrual
I've been going mental tryna murder instrumental
Get ya bank account heart beating like lizzo
Jay been tryna put the fucking H-to-the-izzo
And just to feel to alive is the reason that I try
So nigga if I die, fuck a meme, get the memo
Niggas with attitude and moments of gratitude
East and west side flags for the latitude
And for this cheddar pack, gats just to clap at you
Say what you want, my nigga, did what I had to do
Women with attitudes and moments they mad at you
Heavenly Father came and took her baby daddy too
Risk everything cause it's nothing that they have to lose
Say what you want, my nigga, did what I had to do
Doing what you know we had to do
Paying respects, yeah, we got that gratitude
But you always hating on us, got that attitude
Doing what you know we had to do
Doing what you know we had to do
Paying respects, yeah, we got that gratitude
But you always hating on us, got that attitude
Doing what you know we had to do

Yeah, SoSwill, J-A-Y
