Broken Music Man - Thankful (feat. Flyreef)

I lay awake thinking of paradise
(Hmmm) I wonder what heaven's like
Everyday that I'm above ground
Is everyday given to get it right
I made mistakes I apologize
If I was punished right now I'd be mortified
I'm a nobody to you and that's cool
Cuz I'm the man in my daughter's eyes
Can't say I'm lucky it's more than luck
Look at my lady we dap it up
In disbelief like this girl came from us
Some days it feels like it's world verses us
Some days it feels like we're building the plane as we fly it
Just winging it we ain't no pilots
First time for everything we just gonna try it
No one but God could get credit no lying
I'm thankful for all of my brothers and sisters
You play with your life if you ever play with us
It's best you just stick to your lakes and your rivers
Cuz we got the blicks that turn livers to Ocean Spray
But we prefer nonviolent
We prefer you stay silent
We prefer if you don't have a business to go get one and mind it
Thankful for fans in the bleachers
Vibing along with their ears to the speakers
To all the artists that blessed me with a feature
I'm thankful that you showed when I need ya
Hella thankful for my friends
True riders 'til the end
It won't always be some air in my lungs
So I'm giving thanks until then (thank you)
I don't wanna seem
Like I'm ungrateful for the things
That the lord has given me
It's what I need and more
So I'm taking this time out my day
Just to say
This what I'm thankful for
I'm thankful Lord
No matter what happens in life
I know I can't complain
Burdens ain't a thang
Merely merely merely life is just a dream
Hot to the touch
That's my self esteem
If you're preparing to win
Then prepare for the haters
Cuz that's just what it brings
Not talking beds but they sleeping on a king
Married to the music
Theirs is just a fling
I've done this a long time cuz I do this
I'm thankful for music it's so therapeutic
This is my therapy don't need a therapist
I call enlightenment they call it arrogance
They see a weapon where I see a blessing
I prayed for protection so no overstepping
Step to them no I did not
Although I wanted to get with them
Thankful for discipline
Redirect my focus on what I'm thankful for
Down on my knees subhanallah thank you Lord
Won't be at ease 'til they change my beliefs
Payment declined if that's what they're banking on
Thankful for Mother and Father and all that they gave and give
And that they're alive for as long as they've thrived and lived
They are the reason my music is fly as it is
From all that they taught me
Keeping the faith and keep focusing really is the most important
A test doesn't happen 'tll lessons are given
Success is determined by how you approach it
God is my contacts if I'm loosing focus
I'm thankful I'm able to see what I've noticed
From where I was raised
A tough little soldier
To who I'm today
I pray just to show that cuz
I don't wanna seem
Like I'm ungrateful for the things
That the lord has given me
It's what I need and more
So I'm taking this time out my day
Just to say
This what I'm thankful for
I'm thankful Lord
I'm thankful for the good and the bad
My future and my past
Beautiful kids that I have
Better relationship with my dad
That's gratitude
I always show it
Spirituality I'm always growing
Actions consequences I always own it
Hate and negativity don't condone it
When it's to pray don't postpone it
Nothing's more important than prayer
Supplicate to my maker
My Rabbi
Know he love me
Place none above Thee
Love Thee
I'm thankful I'm healthy
He never ever fails me
Never let me down
Turn to Him when I have a break down
Done built up so much faith now
Ready to face my fate now
Music playing out the states now
Got a house with a gate now
New offers everyday now
Good one coming any day now
All because I ain't lay down
I stayed down
Prostrate with my face down
To show that I'm thankful
I'm grateful
Without him I ain't able
Without his guidance I ain't stable
I'm thankful
Our connection is better than cable (Reef)
I don't wanna seem
Like I'm ungrateful for the things
That the lord has given me
It's what I need and more
So I'm taking this time out my day
Just to say
This what I'm thankful for
I'm thankful Lord
I don't wanna seem
Like I'm ungrateful for the things
That the lord has given me
It's what I need and more
So I'm taking this time out my day
Just to say
This what I'm thankful for
I'm thankful Lord
