Memories

Life is a gift that we’re given
I live in the present, and focus
No really – I try to stay present
I look at my family, I see all my loved ones
I count up the blessings
I see what I been through
I see all my failures
And I see progression
God still accepts me

Life is a gift that we’re given
I live in the present, and try to stay present
I look at my family, and count up the blessings
I see what I’ve been through
And what all I’m blessed with
I’m thankful for nature, it keeps me reflective
Thankful for grace, it gave me perspective
Thankful for people, they blessed me w/ friendship
I’m thankful for prayers, cause they keep me protected

They always tell me - be a better me
What you leave behind – what you do in life - will be your legacy
Love God, love others – that’s what they tellin’ me
Just hope when it’s all said and done, I leave good memories

(memories, memories, memories)

Take the good with the bad
Learn to smile, learn to laugh
Don’t try and compare
Everybody’s got they own path
Life is too short
(life is too short)
To always spend it going back...
Watch what you say
Cause once them words leave your mouth
You can’t take em back
I have no interest
In climbing up billboard
Or trying to make records
To only break records
To me, chasing records
Just isn’t effective

I rather spend time
- go be connected
With people that might
Feel lost or neglected
Or maybe they feel like they aren't accepted
Cause we label them, and they aren’t respected
I know to you
That might not be inspiring
But to me, I know there is more inside of me
Life is more than just working for retirement
It ain’t about me
So kill the entitlement
It’s about others, and people’s environments
But - how I live, will be a memory
Lord, I hope they think of you, when they bury me

They always tell me - be a better me
What you leave behind – what you do in life - will be your legacy
Love God, love others – that’s what they tellin’ me
Just hope when it’s all said and done, I leave good memories

(memories, memories, memories)
