Thank God Lyrics - Space Age 4 Eva - Eightball & Mjg

[Swizz Beatz] 

Comin hard for ya 

We doin this right here man 

Givin it back 

Alotta thugs in the street, 

can't even do this right here man 

But you know how we do 

Hold it down, get it right, keep it tight 

And most of all.. 

We thank God 

[Eightball] 

For my three sons, for my mom 

For waking me up and breathing air into my lungs 

For health and wealth and lots of love for myself 

The chances in life to take the right steps 

I done popped that thang, and I done been popped at 

Stole, cheated, and lied 

Survived when I could have died 

Or somewhere locked up, my niggas locked up 

That's why I pray to you, say what I say to you 

Thank you for Swizz Beatz, to him you bring the heat 

He brought the heat to us, we burn the streets up 

Thank you for family and everyone that stuck with us 

Gettin it crunk, and layin it down, and gettin to buck with us 

Thank you for not lettin material things make me 

Thank you for givin me the talent that my peoples see 

Thank you for lettin my niggas live after gunplay 

Thanks for forgiving me, cuz I don't do this every day 

[Chorus] 

[SB] I thank God! 

[EB] For lettin me make it out the club 

That night all that fightin and shootin jumped off 

[SB] We thank God! 

[EB] For lettin me make my money on the block 

And get away when it get hot, uh 

[SB] We thank God! 

[EB] For them babies with them mommas who don't love 'em 

and they have to grow up, fast 

[SB] We thank God! 

[EB] For everything, all them little things 

For givin me my dreams, know what I mean? 

[MJG] 

I thank God for havin a mother and a father 

To rely on for guidance when circumstances got harder 

I'm a part of a whole race who thank God 

For being able to be free and leave the plantation yard 

And, I thank God for givin me the understandin to acknowledge him 

Notice his footsteps and follow him 

I'm walkin today, I'm talkin today 

I'm feelin today, but on top of that I'm livin today 

And, I thank God because he gave his only child 

Would you give your only child? Think about that for awhile 

And, I thank God for givin me my baby daughter 

A roof over her head, and fresh clean drinkin water 

And, I thank God for not being afraid to love 

So all the love I give, I get back major love 

And, I thank God for givin me all the blessings 

To put a little piece of what we all think into this message 

[Chorus w/ MJG instead of Eightball] 

[MJG] 

For all the times I thought I was in the worst situation 

that I could be in 

God helped me see in, them cloudy times 

Them, "I wanna get rowdy" times 

One of them, "They tried to bring the devil out of me" times 

I thank God, for keepin my mind solid 

And I respect my elders, if or if not they went to college 

And, thank you Lord, for makin my bin and I swored 

And I'm glad I don't feel like I have to kill to pay the bill 

[Eightball] 

I was blessed to be a story teller, CD seller 

My niggas be them shady fellas, chasin yella 

Greedy with they eyes beady, lives easy 

Dispise those who rise easy, talkin freely 

Thank you for them tricks who be, talkin down 

Hatin me and think that I don't, get around 

The rumors and the talkin all it do is bore me 

Trick I done been through a true Holly-wood story 

[Chorus w/ Eightball] 

[Eightball talking] 

Yea, Eightball, MJG 

Swizz Beatz 

Know wha'm sayin 

Just wanna thank God 

Simply, with the talents 

That he blessed us with 

Thank him, for the good things we celebrate 

For the bad things that make us strong 

Yeah
