Wyclef Jean - Thank God for the Culture lyrics

Thank God for the culture
Thank God for the culture
Thank God for the culture
Thank God for the culture

Even though I walk
Through the valley of a shadow of death
I shall fear no evil
He say, "What's a man to do?"
But, I'm in the neighborhood
Where colors matter

Thank God for the culture, amen, yo
Thank God for the culture, amen, yeah
If it wasn't for the culture
They probably have me doing 32 summers
Thank God

In 1996 they had their reasonable doubt
And then we settled the score as
Soon as we came out
All eyes on we, I was slimming
I was killin' it
It was written that the kid would be infamous

And the beats and rhymes gave me life
Many, many
Many nights they tried to get me for my ice
Ante Up!, shottas on the roof
If I hit 'um up you will
Catch a bullet in your goose

Words to Mr wallace got the Naughtiest Nature
No intention on a Pun
But I don't want to be a playa
On the next episode tryna
Give you that prescription
Put your Ls up if you
Could see the big picture
Let's have a toast with this Jesus wine
For those that never see the sunshine

Thank God for the culture, yea, facts
Yeah, thank God for the culture, amen, right
Yeah, if it wasn't for the culture
They probably have me doing 32 summers

Hands up like you're saying hi to Christ
Hello, hi, Hello, hi, Hello, hi, Hello
Thank God for the culture, amen, yo
Thank God for the culture, amen, yeah
If it wasn't for the culture
They probably have me doing 32 summers
Thank God

Thank God for the culture
The Jiggaman set the blueprint for us
Pioneers who paved the way
Then changed the game
You never seen a one-hit wonder
In the hall of fame

Bad boy there's no limit to this cash money
More money, more problem
Keep that fast money you may try or die but
You know that Jesus walk, be sure to testify
'Cause you guys get, anybody?
Bring them T-Pain
Have you ever seen a giant with a little name
Lil Missy, Lil Jon, Lil Kim
And even Lil Wayne
Let's take a toast, bring out the Jesus wine
For my people that won't see the sunshine

Thank God for the culture, yea, facts
Yeah, thank God for the culture, amen, right
Yeah, if it wasn't for the culture
They probably have me doing 32 summers
Hands up like you're saying hi to Christ
Hello, hi, Hello, hi, Hello, hi, Hello
Thank God for the culture, amen, yo
Thank God for the culture
(Let's hear for the, Let's do it for the
Let's hear the)
I'm the only one Aretha ever loved
I'm the son of a preacher man, yah
Thank God for the culture
