Story behind the song
Past times of being ungrateful of the good things in life...
Lyrics
[Intro - Prophit]
Uh, yo! Shit...
I welcome you...
To a reality, where we don't hustle out of need - but out of greed!
Shit... Yo, yo, yo!
[Chorus - Prophit]
I was 'feeling kinda' low, thinking dough would make me fly/
Forgot the simple things in life, to get rich, not get by/
Now I'm thankful for every time I see the sun rise/
The most important things in life is stuff you can't buy/
I was 'feeling kinda' low, thinking dough would make me fly/
Forgot the simple things in life, to get rich, not get by/
Now I'm thankful for every time I see the sun rise/ *echo*
[Verse 1 - Prophit]
I never had much in the way of expensive stuff/
Window-shopping through the mall when I was a young buck/
Things have changed - I'm more mature, I'm more grown/
But I still stand on this wicked road all alone/
Hoping the Devil won't see me, hiding in a corner/
The light is distant, and hard to fit into like to a foreigner/
I can't hide the truth, like a boner in my gym-shorts/
And respect is something the rims on a Benz-bought/
Being broke, I had to hustle, be a thief/
But I couldn't tell my moms where I 'got them new sneaks/
Couldn't get my fam stuff from my heart, I was mean/
Stopped singing "happy birthday" by the age of thirteen/
That was a lil' kid lost, only focused on the green/
By the age of fourteen, man, I wasn't even clean/
Struggled with happiness and money to find something in between/
Damn...
[Chorus - Prophit]
I was 'feeling kinda' low, thinking dough would make me fly/
Forgot the simple things in life, to get rich, not get by/
Now I'm thankful for every time I see the sun rise/
The most important things in life is stuff you can't buy/
I was 'feeling kinda' low, thinking dough would make me fly/
Forgot the simple things in life, to get rich, not get by/
Now I'm thankful for every time I see the sun rise/ *echo*
[Verse 2 - Prophit]
Coming up, I knew this life wasn't me, but I still stayed/
I was taught, the darkest nights lead to the brightest days/
Figured I wouldn't pay, the price for this living/
But the only laws I followed, was the laws of physics/
This rap-shit made me break that, but not until later/
I was going uphill, weighed down by haters/
Where everyone who wasn't hating was just a yes-sayer/
I had visions of God laughing, burning my prayers/
I had a lot of stuff, like love you can't buy for a million bucks/
It should've felt good, but somehow, my life was really tough/
My pops ran out, my mom started drinking/
My bro' was never home, except for the weekend/
And I was out, see, I had to move stacks/
I was embarrassed, so most of my friends didn't know that/
I didn't stop when I was stabbed, but stopped when I progressed in rap/
Yeah... And look at me now...
[Chorus - Prophit]
I was 'feeling kinda' low, thinking dough would make me fly/
Forgot the simple things in life, to get rich, not get by/
Now I'm thankful for every time I see the sun rise/
The most important things in life is stuff you can't buy/
I was 'feeling kinda' low, thinking dough would make me fly/
Forgot the simple things in life, to get rich, not get by/
Now I'm thankful for every time I see the sun rise/
[Verse 3 - Prophit]
The most important things in life is stuff you can't buy/
I don't wanna' be alone by the age of forty-five/
I have dreams, seen myself in jail, and I'm sweating/
Material objects are the objects in my way, or so I'm guessing/
I learned to quit stressing, this stuff could get me killed, and/
Fancy jewels could never replace feelings/
It's a sign when the ice tucked, your body-hair stand up/
Maybe I'll learn break free of these handcuffs/
If I could be man enough... What...
[Chorus - Prophit]
I was 'feeling kinda' low, thinking dough would make me fly/
Forgot the simple things in life, to get rich, not get by/
Now I'm thankful for every time I see the sun rise/
The most important things in life is stuff you can't buy/
I was 'feeling kinda' low, thinkin
