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 givin some praise

To those that got me where I am today

I gotta thank mama for the cookin'

Daddy for the whuppin'

The devil for the trouble that I get into

I got to give credit where credit is due

I thank the bank for the money

Thank God for you

A strong heart and a willin' hand

That's the secret to my success

A good woman...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

I gotta thank mama for the cookin'

Daddy for the whuppin'

The devil for the trouble that I get into

I got to give credit where credit is due

I thank the bank for the money

Thank God for you

I gotta thank mama for the teachin'

Daddy for the preachin'

The devil for the trouble that I get into

I got to give credit where credit is due

I thank the bank for the money

Thank God for you

Yeah I got to give credit where credit is due

I thank the bank for the money

Thank God for you

I thank mama

I thank daddy

Devil

Well I got to give credit where credit is due

I thank the bank for the money

Thank God for you
