[female singer - repeat in background]
3
I'm just happy to be here!
4
[E-40 over singer]
5
Hard times, the struggle
6
The ups and downs, the highs and the lows
7
You know just goin through it man, ghetto politics
8
Tryin to make a way out of no way
9
I was the oldest, so I had to be, the daddy of the family
10
Momma had to work three jobs, oooh
11
Feet stickin through my shoes, skid marks in my drawers
12
Garage sales and flea markets, we never shopped at malls
13
No dental plan, no medikit - we poor like rain
14
Colored folks think that castor oil cures everythang
15
Pork chops and chicken, we like our food fried
16
Hypertension, Prenavil pills and hydro-chlorizide
17
Some of my family still living, some of my family died
18
Health complications, natural causes and homicide
19
Just tryin to survive, nothin to lose but plenty to gain
20
Started hustlin, flea flickin and servin that candy cane
21
Put all my cars in my lady name, as a true hustler should
22
She had a 9 to 5, worked at Planned Parenthood
23
While I was in the hood, up to no good
24
with a hoodie over my head, tryin to outslick the feds
25
Or should I say cops, at this point in time I only had rocks
26
Went from a little a jelly jar up to a soup pot
27
The fast quarter my negro, don't want the slow nickel
28
I done seen yola the same color as peanut brittle
29
I done seen hella people relapse
30
I done seen my homey grandparents go back to crack
31
How sick is dat? Beggin my loved ones to send some pictures
32
Pray for me over the phone and read me some scriptures
33
Oooh; it's gloomy out here, dark days ahead
34
God got my back but the devil he want my head
35
[Chorus: D.D. Artis]
36
I'm just happy to be here right now
37
Lot of my folks been locked up or laid down
38
See I'm sayin I ain't shed no tears, no
39
But I'm just happy to be here
40
[E-40]
41
Listen to this, oooooh
42
The devil-me side know that some of y'all done seen it
43
Somebody's momma washin her son or her daughter's bloodstain off the cement
44
Wrong place at the wrong time, infiltrators drop a dime
45
Mistaken identity, bullets start flyin
46
in every direction, hit a pregnant teen, she passed
47
But her baby live through a C-section
48
I know it sound foul and sound hecka rude, it ain't cool
49
But it go down like that sometime when you're funkin, and you're puttin down a move
50
We heartless and shrewd in this day and age, it ain't the same
51
Our parents need to beat us with a belt, like Poody Tang
52
I be high like an airplane
53
I be smokin and perkin, takin out anger and stress on the wrong person
54
Re-uppin and coppin turf an' just servin the soil block
55
Grittin tryin to put some gifts in my kid's Christmas stock'
56
Ooooh - pour out some liquor and shed a tear
57
For the homies that never made it and family that ain't here
58
[Chorus]
59
[D.D. Artis]
60
So happy
61
You know I'm happy to be
62
Said I'm happy, so happy just to be here
63
To beeeeeee, to beeeeeeeeeeee
64
To beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee (I'm so happy)
65
(Oh I'm so happy)
66
I'm so happy to be, to beeeeeeee-heeeeeeeeee
67
To beeeeeeeee (to be here)
