Appreciate It All

(album: Spaceships On The Blade - 2022)

You know this game get tricky gotta stay on your toes
You see the end results
I really thugged for it
Them nights on the interstate
Made my heart colder
State troopers 2 rugers and a bag on me
Homie wrapped that shit wrong, left the bag open
Had me feeling like, God damn this game bogus
The shit we did to push around in a Range Rover
Nineteen, bought the S5 off the lot
Anybody knew me back then
See the growth
Been knew I had to break the cycle, when I had my son
Been knew I had to cop the Rarri
Had to run it up
Nothing was handed to me
Had to get it out the box
Learned a lot from my Mom
Learned a lot from my Pops
Moms taught me how to love
Pops taught me never stop
Ride my bike down the biggest block my OG's pushin (uh)
Careful with my words
Cause I know them people really watching';
On a island with my newest work
Playing Frank Sinatra
Learned a lot from the streets, got I'll
Had to eat
Got turned out to the game around 17
Now we cop real estate, pass it down to the seed
The only person I depend on, nigga me

I know sometimes it get hard
Couldn't tell you it was perfect
But the game's been good to me (good to me)
I know sometimes it get hard
Couldn't tell you it was perfect
But the game's been good to me (good to me)
You know this game get tricky
Gotta stay on your toes
Stay focused nigga don't be chasing these hoes

How the fuck you gon' hate on me
I showed niggas better ways
Showed niggas how to make it out the game
You know money come and go
But knowledge, nigga, gon' remain
Seen so much shit coming up I don't sleep the same
Fuck this pain
We eat that, we got a lot to gain
Another level I take trips and spend fifty k
Make it back, double up, toss it in the safe, assets use a portion for some real estate
Touchdown I'm in Houston 2 escalades
Seven thousand dollar backpacks and louie shades
With this pretty brown thing sipping lemonade
Smiled so pretty
Almost made a real nigga stay
New day another flight
Talking 50k a night
Got it from the sacrifices
Everyday we rolled the dice
Went hard paid the price
She doubted me I did it twice
Heard you niggas talking down fuck a text it's on sight

I know sometimes it get hard
Couldn't tell you it was perfect
But the game's been good to me (good to me)
I know sometimes it get hard
Couldn't tell you it was perfect
But the game's been good to me (good to me)
You know this game get tricky
Gotta stay on your toes
Stay focused my nigga don't be chasing these hoes

We gotta normalize seeing our people do better
Know what I mean?
Following through

You know this game get tricky
Gotta stay on your toes
Stay focused my nigga don't be chasing these hoes

Being a man of your word
Shit cause ain't nobody perfect nigga
Still learning myself too man
