PAUSE FOR THOUGHT THURSDAY

I am sure most of us have at some point this week thought about the things we are thankful for in our lives. Here, are the things TI gives thanks to God for. One thing about Tip, he keeps it real. Maybe just a lil too real.
“I want to thank God for somehow … I know he perfect. So I’m a thank him for everything. I’m a thank him for making me drop out of school. I’m a thank him for making me run the streets. I’m a thank him for making me sell crack. I’m a thank him for making me have shoot-outs. I’m a thank him for allowing me to watch my partners die in my arms, So I’d be fearful enough for my life and paranoid enough to go out and cop machine guns and silencers so I catch a fed case and I have to put up $3 million for my bond so I have to spend seven months of my life in my house, so I have to spend a year of my life in prison just so I be validated enough to get out there and touch the youth because they know that I done been through it, and if I say it, it means something. You know what I’m saying?”
