Luyện nghe bài hát Happy To Be Here

[female singer - repeat in
I'm happy to be here!

over singer]
Hard times, the
The ups and downs, the highs and the
You know goin through it man, ghetto politics
Tryin to a way out of no way
I was the oldest, so I had to be, the daddy of the
had to work three jobs, oooh

Feet stickin through my shoes, skid marks in my
Garage sales and flea markets, we never shopped at
No dental plan, no medikit - we poor rain
Colored folks think that castor oil everythang
Pork and chicken, we like our food fried
Hypertension, Prenavil pills and
Some of my family living, some of my family died
Health complications, natural causes and
tryin to survive, nothin to lose but plenty to gain
Started hustlin, flickin and servin that candy cane
Put all my cars in my lady name, as a hustler should
She had a 9 to 5, worked at Parenthood
While I was in the hood, up to no
with a hoodie over my head, tryin to outslick the
Or should I say cops, at point in time I only had rocks
from a little a jelly jar up to a soup pot
The fast my negro, don't want the slow nickel
I done seen yola the same color as brittle
I seen hella people relapse
I done seen my homey grandparents go to crack
How sick is dat? Beggin my loved to send some pictures
Pray for me over the phone and me some scriptures
Oooh; gloomy out here, dark days ahead
God got my but the devil he want my head

[Chorus: D.D.
I'm just happy to be right now
Lot of my folks been locked up or laid
See I'm sayin I shed no tears, no
But I'm just happy to be

Listen to this,
The devil-me side know that of y'all done seen it
Somebody's momma washin her son or her bloodstain off the cement
place at the wrong time, infiltrators drop a dime
Mistaken identity, bullets flyin
in every direction, hit a pregnant teen, she
But her baby live a C-section
I know it sound foul and sound hecka rude, it cool
But it go down like that sometime when you're funkin, and you're puttin a move
We heartless and shrewd in day and age, it ain't the same
Our parents need to beat us with a belt, Poody Tang
I be like an airplane
I be smokin and perkin, takin out anger and stress on the wrong
Re-uppin and turf an' just servin the soil block
Grittin tryin to put gifts in my kid's Christmas stock'
Ooooh - out some liquor and shed a tear
For the homies that never made it and family ain't here

[D.D.
