Appreciate

Ain't no second time to appreciate
 Ain't no second time to appreciate
 Ain't no second time to appreciate
 Ain't no second time to appreciate
 Ain't no second time to appreciate
 First of all, you better count your blessings
 When you got C.L. now you got bad boy, your connections
 In return, while we live and we learn then you know what it is
 To only build a bigger future for the kids
 In peace, in war, let's take it to the floor
 Every time we take two steps the crowd takes four
 Lay the heat, how I come to the street, how I cut through the beef
 Let me handle that, that's why you make me chief
 It's packed, what they want in this here
 Can we weather the storm, six minutes, C.L. Smooth you're on
 All the anger and the fear was in the dressing room prayer
 That we came out to light it up and put it in the air
 That's real, so holler back at ya boy, step aside Leroy
 To all my ladies, who want tickets, enjoy
 'Cause I spit it and you gotta get with it and you'll never forget it
 Yes, I want the best out, count 'em all
 Ain't no second time to appreciate
 To the fans and to all my people that supported us
 Ain't no second time to appreciate
 To the mama and the daddy and everything they taught us
 Ain't no second time to appreciate
 Tell them kids they gotta stay in school or ride with us
 Ain't no second time to appreciate
 When it all goes down, baby, all we got is us
 You tell 'em this is history in the making, avoiding disasters
 This run is for the green jacket, I fit the masters
 My crew havin' business, save, put it in through my office
 The security is tight and the secretary is gorgeous
 That's official, me and Pete in the lab, that's what they want
 Pushin' that real hip hop up to the front
 The game's been good to me, preserved my youth
 Not only did it capture my goals and told me the truth
 Look out my hustle, made a living, paid and driven
 See why they tour around the world came to save us from prison
 It's great, I rather love than hate
 You think it fell out the sky, I'm here to tell you, why believe in faith
 Hard work payin' of and them wishes comin' true
 Bolt open and you out to lunch and left us two
 Now you know we can't let that pass to get that cash
 We in the big numbers, count 'em all
 Ain't no second time to appreciate
 To the fans and to all my people that supported us
 Ain't no second time to appreciate
 To the mama and the daddy and everything they taught us
 Ain't no second time to appreciate
 Tell them kids they gotta stay in school or ride with us
 Ain't no second time to appreciate
 When it all goes down, baby, all we got is us
 Why my uncle doc left me everything when he died
 And when pop passed, two weeks later I cried
 And when great grandma left it all went crazy now
 All I had left was grandma Pam, that's my baby
 Can't talk bad about me, she tell 'em why we need to give her
 All those roses while she could smell 'em
 I live this moment used to stay how we was
 How my mother came to her in a dream and told her
 Corey will come out of this deep dark depression, stand by me
 Give my insight a resurrection and heal me
 And feel me, what you got is to love, got a thing
 This little woman who brought back the thug, let's grind
 Ghetto's of the mind while I'm in my prime
 I left, so y'all can catch up, I'm ahead of my time
 Your legacy and that lazy boy say it ain't fear
 My next generation triple my digits, add 'em up like
 Ain't no second time to appreciate
 To the fans and to all my people that supported us
 Ain't no second time to appreciate
 To the mama and the daddy and everything they taught us
 Ain't no second time to appreciate
 Tell them kids they gotta stay in school or ride with us
 Ain't no second time to appreciate
 When it all goes down, baby, all we got is us
