And even though I ain't living the life I want to be
You know I stay rocking this modern life like a wallaby
See in this world, where nothing ever stays the same man
The recipe for chicken francase never changes
Yeah, I'm just an ant to the world's boot
Hopefully I get to see the world soon
When opportunity knocks I better take it
Better yet I'ma find it before it knocks, I'm impatient
It's amazing, what we do for a stranger
When what we do to family is much stranger
Mommy, I'm sorry for everything I did wrong
Cause I was raised by a family that did right
I got a lot on my mind I hope I'm dead wrong
Disappear into the world, I just might
The people who will miss me, I can count on both hands
Not even a missed call through the first night
I got the recipe, I got the recipe
I got the recipe, And it's all for you
I got the recipe, I got the recipe
I got the recipe, And it's all for you
Let's get it popping like my bad ankle
First thing I need to do is recognize that I am thankful
I've had the chance to grab a mic and tell my story
I've always had good people around who's there for me
I wanted to be a little shorty balling like Spud Webb
I was blown away when Black Thought spun webs
I never went without, even though my momma did
Nah don't ever count me out (Why?) cause I'm my momma's kid
I've had a bad back and cracked hands to go with it
But I can't hate my hands, look at what I've done with them
And of course my back hurts, I got a city on it
(And I) and I will never fall like there's no autumn
(And I) and I will never fall with my family by my side
And my fans in the stands, yeah for you I shine these lights
I just learned to cook it the other day
I owe you all a plate of chicken francase
I got the recipe, I got the recipe
I got the recipe, And it's all for you
I got the recipe, I got the recipe
I got the recipe, And it's all for you
