Brad Hester Thank God
[Chorus]
I thank God I dont look like what I been through
I thank God I dont look like what I been through
Yall prolly wouldn't believe half the shit I lived through
I thank god I dont look like what I been through
[Verse 1]
Born in the trenches..raised in the slums
Diamond in the dirt gotta get it out the mud
161 south bronx where I'm from
College educated and I'm still going dumb WHEW
I choose music over drugs and violence
Fuck a early grave I want a early retirement
Tackling my issues like a defensive lineman
Feel hot as lil wayne when that nigga dropped fireman
I got a bar for every bar my father saw at rikers
My mother took me to church every sunday said live righteous
Why everytime they see my shine they try to dim the brightness
Put so much of my life in this surprised that I ain't lifeless whoa
Dont ask me how but rent was paid when the rent was due
If I ain't got it yet just know I'm getting to it
Funny all the lies that I was told made me the truest
English my second language, my money talk very fluent I
[Chorus]
Thank God I dont look like what I been through
I thank God I dont look like what I been through
Yall prolly wouldn't believe half the shit I lived thru
I thank God I dont look like what I been through
[Bridge]
I thank God I dont look like what I been through
Thank God Thank God
I thank God I dont look like what I been through
Thank God Thank God I
[Chorus]
Thank God I dont look like what I been through
I thank God I dont look like what I been through
Yall prolly wouldn't believe half the shit I lived thru
I thank God I dont look like what I been through
[Verse 2]
Tv dinners with no tv nigga
No heat in the winter, summer with no AC nigga
Doubled up on covers and doubled up on the fans
Now to double up on these magazine covers, double up fans
All I care about is making the band and making these bands
And breaking these bans have faith in me man look
Pushing the culture forward
Pulling the vultures back
Alpha wolf of the pack
Attack mode in tact
Tired of living check to check to check to check
Life been testing me but I been acing every test
Taking action more lately and saying less
Man I just..
[Chorus]
Thank God I dont look like what I been through
I thank God I dont look like what I been through
Yall prolly wouldn't believe half the shit I lived thru
I thank God I dont look like what I been through
[Bridge]
I thank God I dont look like what I been through
Thank God Thank God
I thank God I dont look like what I been through
Thank God Thank God I
[Chorus]
Thank God I dont look like what I been through
I thank God I dont look like what I been through
Yall prolly wouldn't believe half the shit I lived thru
I thank God I dont look like what I been through
