[Intro]
You know
Even when I feel like trash
Or see people struggling with cash
I realize I'm still here
So I'm thankful...
You know what I'm sayin'?
[Verse 1]
I'm just a small kid, from a small town
The weather there was good, I never had a frown
Right next to the beach, I could here the ocean
The message in the bottle? My bottled emotions
No big hustle, life was no struggle
Somehow I felt like a small fry in a puddle
Sky is blue, look at the clouds
All I wanna do is make my mom proud
Fill dad with pride, I say this out loud
"Life is happening because of family"
Friendship is fishing; don't catch and release
I capture and keep them, true friends till the end
Life ain't what it seems but we shouldn't pretend
That we know all of her, it be too simple then
Look at those who love you, nothing to fear
If no one says this, well I'm thankful you're here
[Chorus]
I wanna thank you
(For everything that you do)
I wanna thank you
(Because you have a choice, you don't have to be here)
I wanna thank you
(I'm about the love, I'm fighting against fear)
I wanna thank you
(I'll try to be clear, I'm glad that you're here)
[Verse 2]
It's the year 92, born to speak to you
Just another baby whose first lady's his mom
Innocent and young, clear like the sky
I pick myself up even though I cry
You may not care if I speak of myself
But I show you one place to get you somewhere else
My life is my advice, the right kind of help
Loving girls, with or without what's under my belt
These troubles in the world, make you wanna hurl
This stress today makes me wanna go away
But hey, say this to you boys and girls
That I always find another reason to live another day
Goodshie awkward feelings or high on life
Space Jam, I believe I can fly all night
"That's great man, but peace is a fantasy"
Well then it's up to us to make it a reality
[Chorus]
[Verse 3]
Just a man and iron suit, when you boil it down
Fundamentally fresh, so I can't spoil it now
I catch myself asking "Why?" then the wind blows
It's telling me to fly, I have to let go
All my worries, all my fears
Locked in my chest, my heart's still here
Beating like the time I asked that girl out
I was probably too scared to go back to her house
Memories resurface, gotta pull the curtains
Focus on the present that I now for certain
Yeah, "learn from the past" blah blah blah the future
But I'm not a rookie, my flows are like fortune cookies
Uh, could have done better yesterday
But I'm all about the Now, Yes Today
No clouds of doubt, I say this real clear
Looking at the sky, I'm glad that I'm here
[Chorus]
