Jglove - Thankful (Farewell)

I learned a lot since I was kid
Mom and dad really showed how to live
I got my brothers and my sisters and we all love one another never realized just how lucky that is
But now I know I got some things I gotta work on
I'll improve til' I'm boutta hit my limit
I’ve seen my parents love each other for as long as I lived
So tell me why I still struggle with commitment? I know I got some issues
My grandma she told me that things always come to you once you are ready
People they come and go baby just learn from them everyone either a blessing or lesson
Easier said than lived this I know
So many paths to take where to go
Time to calm it down take it slow
I know I’m grown but I got room to grow
I'm thankful for the present
I'm thankful for the past
I'm thankful for people I knew
I'm thankful for my life
I’m thankful for the future
I’m thankful for the things that I do
Lord knows I'm thankful
For all the ones that always stayed around
That wanna see me reach all these new heights
And never hit the ground
I learned a lot since I was a kid
And I really gotta credit my friends
To everyone influencing or people that influenced me
Yal really helped me learn to do things for the best
And to my closest ones that always show me real love
No Mary J but I can’t be without you
And when I'm feeling doubtful
Or I can’t even speak with a mouthful
Yal always bring me back to my values, yeah
I guess I'm still learning about what I want from life and I won’t rush it
If it's to be then it's up to me trust me I know this
I promise that I'ma stay focused
Gotta become who I'm gonna be
No one should love me as much as me
It's time to let go of certain things
I feel liberated I feel free
I'm thankful for the present
I'm thankful for the past
I'm thankful for people I knew
I'm thankful for my life
I’m thankful for the future
I’m thankful for the things that I do
Lord knows I'm thankful
For all the ones that always stayed around
That wanna see me reach all these new heights
And never hit the ground
Too many times too many things I had to fight too many choices every day in my life
Is this wrong or right, I never know, I hate the flow
I try to go against and take control I tell myself I’m better on my own
Life don’t work like that, I be so outta tact, taking two steps forward, but I be getting pushed three back
My emotions steady rushing all these thoughts is slowly coming sometimes I be feeling nothing
I hate that I keep on running I can’t
Slow down slow down just breathe remember lately you been getting some sleep, yeah
Remember lately you’ve been closer with me, that's right
Remember lately you been feeling better mentally
Don’t you ever say can’t again
You did and you will and you gon' keep on doing
You gon' keep on living you gon' keep on shining
Now keep ya head up and give thanks to this life lived, yeah
I'm thankful for the present
I'm thankful for the past
I'm thankful for people I knew
I'm thankful for my life
I’m thankful for the future
I’m thankful for the things that I do
Lord knows I'm thankful
For all the ones that always stayed around
That wanna see me reach all these new heights
And never hit the ground
Farewell to sadness, farewell to pain, hello to the path that I grew
Farewell to the struggles, farewell to the darkness, hello to the skies that are blue
Farewell to the late nights, farewell to the bad times, hello to the path that I choose
Farewell to the past, hello to the future, farewell to the Jarrett you knew
