Joey Vantes
Thank God II
[Chorus: Xavier Sorrow]

I was a ghost in your mad house
Only echo my views from a distance
See, I don't think you cared or listened
Until I came up with that vision
Haters talk a lot, they be running they mouth
They gon' quiet down when the music loud, yeah
I'm a hustle hard, make my mama proud
Every blessing here, yuh, I gotta thank God
Thank God, thank God

[Verse 1: Joey Vantes]

Ooh, yeah
Don't let the light
And smoke fool you
I was out workin'
On the new, yeah
Puttin' the OT
Like a Jew, yeah
Aye, hit the block hard
With my knees first
This on God
Took over in 16
'Bout 17 I took off
Full flight and we gettin' it, look
Add God, no sweatin' it
They was lowkey chеckin' in
But I make enough, I ain't deadenin'
I put the work in His hand, yeah
I started flippin' the pan, yeah
[?] for my fan, yeah
I just got booked for Japan, yeah
It's no take backs
Thank God for this playback
Play it back, it's all true facts
And that recipe to build true stacks, I
Know that it's [?]
I will stay true to you
Most of my soul flew
I got the Master's pool
[?]
I'm 'bout to make my move
Royal line
I bet they wish they knew

[Chorus: Xavier Sorrow]

I was a ghost in your mad house
Only echo my views from a distance
See, I don't think you cared or listened
Until I came up with that vision
Haters talk a lot, they be running they mouth
They gon' quiet down when the music loud, yeah
I'm a hustle hard, make my mama proud
Every blessing here, yuh, I gotta thank God
Thank God, thank God

[Verse 2: Ruslan]

Thank God, thank God
They ask me questions
I answer with, "Why?"
I do not play games
I cross like A.I
Baby, this is not real
This more like AI
I ain't never lie
Some of them clinic, they hurtin' me
Been makin' bread since like Myrtle Beach
That was the year we killed [?]
Man, before then there was uncertainty
I almost quit maybe 7 times
But the Lord, He gave me 7 lives
I never cared to be lukewarm
Rather the people be edified
They got me twisted and backwards
Thinkin' it's just about rap words
Better then slow down
Then you wrong and maybe you ask first
All they talk about is practice
I'm thinkin', "How have you matched this?"
Everyday, I show up, show up
Push, push, throw us, so what?
Thank God, thank God, I said it
Never fell off and stayed authentic
Never compromise in the middle of the lies
To end of my demise, you know I get it
So you don't have to make
The mistakes that I made
You could learn from mine
And go up [?] way
[Chorus: Xavier Sorrow]

I was a ghost in your mad house
Only echo my views from a distance
See, I don't think you cared or listened
Until I came up with that vision
Haters talk a lot, they be running they mouth
They gon' quiet down when the music loud, yeah
I'm a hustle hard, make my mama proud
Every blessing here, yuh, I gotta thank God
Thank God, thank God

[Verse 3: Xavier Sorrow]

Dapped on black
Black on black on black
Yeah, I walk the line
Call that Johnny Cash
Sound like [?]
[?] trap
Flow, this like a time machine
Boy, I bring it back
Singin' outta rappin', but I'm rappin'
If you got a beef with me then flow (tool)
Any pattern, I go any pattern
I go kamehamehame, Go (ku)
These is the moves that I make
And I'm wakin' up people who sleepin' for real
I reckon you recommend records
I'm wreckin', I'm wreckin' them tracks on the real
That's who I fail, switch it up like Nintendo
Paid my dues, got rent though
Poppin' off, Coke and Mentos
Enemies under my ten toes
You keepin' up with the tempo
I don't mess with no fake foes
Rappers want my cheat codes
Real flex, but OK though
I think out like a medic
I hit the crew up and met it
Love or hate, you can debate it
Beat here hard like a headache
Snap like Thanos and [?]
[?]
Boy, I just got started
Hold up, let me finish
[Chorus: Xavier Sorrow]

I was a ghost in your mad house
Only echo my views from a distance
See, I don't think you cared or listened
Until I came up with that vision
Haters talk a lot, they be running they mouth
They gon' quiet down when the music loud, yeah
I'm a hustle hard, make my mama proud
Every blessing here, yuh, I gotta thank God
Thank God, thank God
