Well I've been called a self-made man Girl don't you believe it's true I know exactly how lucky I am When I'm gettin' this close to you It's high time I'm giving some praise To those that got me where I am today
I got to thank mama for the cookin' Daddy for the whuppin' The devil for the trouble that I get into I go to give credit when credit is due I thank the bank for the money Thank God for you
A strong heart and a willing hand That's the secret to my success A good women...I try to be a good man A good job Lord I know I've been blessed I'm just a part of a greater plan It doesn't matter which part I am
Daddy for the preachin' The devil for the trouble that I get into I got to give credit when credit is due I thank the bank for the money And God for you
