What inspired me to write “Thank God”?
The beat felt so very soulful and jazzy to me and during the time it was a lot going on in the world also in my life. I was just in the mood of feeling grateful that I was alive and even though I wasn’t doing as good at the time in my own personal struggle I felt that I was still better off than a lot of other people in the world. Also everybody raps about money, drugs, guns, violence, the party life and etc. but not a lot of people actually sit down and take the time out to actually thank god for what they have and survived through.

I thank gooood/ for show me a way/ I thank gooood /that I live another day/ I thank gooood/on the road to these riches/ I thank gooood/ for this life that I’m living
Verse1: thank god for my father sisters and my praying mother/thank god for my homies consider them my brothers/thank god for my daughter cherish all the times I hug her/I can be here for one moment next thing I’m gone another/sometimes u got to go through it to get it right/ what ever don't kill you makes it a stronger life/through let downs and struggle pain held my head up high/I still had my faith and believed this brotha he will survive/look to the sky/never lookin down/could of serve life in jail/ or been shot to the ground/could of swam as a child and the pool made me drown/could of fucked the wrong chick and a cure never found/could of stayed fuckin broke but I don't like how that sounds/could of bagged up weed crack till I’m sellin pounds/
