[Verse 1: Los]
Real shit n***a, real shit n***a, ugh, yo, ugh
While everybody complaining I'm thanking god for my life
Every step that I take, all my wrongs and my rights
Everything that I did, everything that I saw
I thank god for my todays and I'm praying for my tomorrow
So please don't misunderstand, my perspective on drugs
I followed my own direction, though my connection with thugs
Hasn't passed up it's zone,but now I'm passed and I'm grown
So I thank god for that passion that got me back in my zone
How I make it through the hatred, truthfully I'll tell ya
I believe in my success more then you believe in my failures
Haters will try to tell ya give it up and stop your mischief
And I'm like n***a what I get a rush from opostition
When shit was getting tough I get it up with top positions
So opposite optimism ain't enough to block my vision
N***a it's like the cool of the morning to the moon and beyond
I just use all of you as my fuel and I'm gone
[Hook: Sean Hayz]
I'm the one that wasn't supposed to make it
But I hope I make you proud
I'm the one that wasn't supposed to make it
So I hope I make you smile
Ooooooh, hope I make you proud
Yes I hope I make you proud
Hope I make you smile
Yes I hope I make you smile
Hope I make you proud
Yes I hope I make you proud
Hope I make you smile
Yes I hope I make you smile
[Verse 2: DMX]
Born with the light, but life seem to fail me
Loved them all my life, but they don't understand me
One day they gonna get me, but it's gonna be too late
I came with the vision that see-through hate
But regardless of what I see, I'm a feed you a plate
Give you whatever the fuck you need, you straight
Regardless of how much you need, I'm a see that you great
Most n***as don't know what they need is to wait
Believe in yourself, believe in the process
They say you gonna fail, say nah n***a, not this
Do it for Ma Duke, do it for Grandma
Do it for every time it was time to have, it was "Uhn Uh"
Do it for every time you couldn't get what you wanted
Because a n***a flaunt it, you was like "Aight n***a, run it"
I'm a be this all my life, and live it loud
Those who love me for real, I hope I make you proud
Come on!

[Verse 3: Los]
Ugh
Since everybody is happy, I'm thanking god for the rain
The days is harder than pain, These crazy thoughts in my brain
Major losses that came, replacing all of the shame
To obey the laws of the game and to just take it all as a gain
Staying off in my lane since they been dodging the fame
The things causing a change but ain't causing a change
So I'm praying for the ones that feel like nobody know em
Never knew how to love cause ain't nobody show em
They think its ? but reality is ill
It's easy to be fake but it's a challenge to be real
Everybody ain't rich but everybody got a choice
Nobody speak up but everybody got a voice
Guess we never see the day where everybody help
You will never see the day that I'm like everybody else
My n***as in the hood, get at me G
Just to think I needed rap, now rap need me, thats crazy
