Well, I've been called a self made man

And girl don't you believe it's true

I know e actly 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 whoopin'

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 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

I got to thank mama for the cookin'

Daddy for the whoopin'

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 got to 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

Mama

Daddy

Devil

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
