papoose - thank you (dmx tribute) lyrics

[intro]
can’t let a day go by
without saying thank you
for everything you’ve done

[verse 1: papoose]
earl simmons one of hip hop’s best
but better known to the world as dmx
born december 18 1970, to be a yonkers new york legend that was his destiny
malcom had an x that stood for unknown
x marks the spot a king belongs on his throne
there’s two reason we throw an x in new york fam
one is for the bronx the other’s for dark man
when you heard him rap he had you like ‘god d+mn’
cause when he touched the mic
he grabbed it with god’s hand
first to dеbut an album #1 5 times in a row
billboard 200 chart he shined
sold ovеr 74 million records world wide
featured in belly, romeo must die
had many beautiful kids who he showed sincere love
they say never have more kids than you can take care of

[hook]
can’t let a day go by
without saying thank you
for everything you’ve done
[verse 2: papoose]
earl simmons a product of that yonkers, new york living
hustlers to k!llers to thieves up in the store stealing
poverty to public assistance ghetto where poor stricken
prejudice oppressors imprison us through the court system
didn’t let it stop him just cause he landed up north big
‘sky is the limit’ he taught us sort of ignore ceilings
other rappers look nice but they don’t give us that raw feeling
don’t mean they can walk in his shoes cause they wore timblands’
he’s no longer with us but you would know if you won’t listen
good took the wheel he’s in a car that the lords driven
none of us are perfect we spend time in this world sinning
spiritual calculator count the blessings the lord’s giving
animal when he on the track you heard the dog k!lling
but when he was out with his kids you see the dog grinning
spoke up for the underdogs we was all with him
when he won we was all winning

[hook]
can’t let a day go by
without saying thank you
for everything you’ve done

[verse 3: papoose]
he didn’t say he was the dog cause he know when to bite
dog backwards is god he was going to heights
way above and beyond when he spoke on that mic
it doesn’t matter what you go through you could grow in your life
every battle isn’t physical know when to fight
just admit it when you wrong cause you know when you right
it’s ironic that the dark man showed us the light
