Pete Rock & CL Smooth
Appreciate
[Intro: C.L. Smooth]
First of all, you better count your blessings
Cause when you got C.L. now you got back all your connections
First of all, you better count your blessings
Cause when you got C

[Verse 1: C.L. Smooth]
First of all, you better count your blessings
Cause when you got C.L. now you got back all 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, lets take it to the floor
Every time we take two steps, the crowd take 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 wanting is 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
S tep 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
[Hook: C.L. Smooth]
To the fans and to all my people that supported us
To the mama and the daddy and everything they taught us
Tell them kids they gotta stay in school or ride with us
When it all goes down, baby
All We Got Is Us

[Verse 2: C.L. Smooth]
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, it 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'd rather love than hate
You think it fell out the sky, I'm here to tell you, why believe in faith
Hard work, payin' off 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
[Hook: C.L. Smooth]
To the fans and to all my people that supported us
To the mama and the daddy and everything they taught us
Tell them kids they gotta stay in school or ride with us
When it all goes down, baby
All We Got Is Us

[Outro: C.L. Smooth]
To the fans and to all my people that supported us
To the mama and the daddy and everything they taught us
Tell them kids they gotta stay in school or ride with us
When it all goes down, baby
All We Got Is Us
To the fans and to all my people that supported us
To the mama and the daddy and everything they taught us
Tell them kids they gotta stay in school or ride with us
