[Intro: CJ Fly]
Fly
[Chorus: CJ Fly]
Thankful, got every reason to be thankful
Ain't short on gas because my tank full
I can’t complain 'cause I'm so thankful
Thankful, thankful
Got every reason to be thankful
Ain’t short on gas because my tank full
I could complain but I'm just thankful
Thankful
[Verse: CJ Fly]
When I was commin' up my momma told me "Get a job!"
But I ain't wanna work for no one, rather steal and rob
All my homies was loose cannons, trynna let it off
They might just put a hole in one like they was playing golf
Our life was always hard, so we was never soft
Some shoot themselves right in the foot like they was Cheddar Bob
If it don't got shit to do with me I don't get involved
Funny we used to hit the store to get some deviled dogs
My demons older now and we no longer pups
I'm spittin' lava off the top like was gon’ erupt
I’m done with crowd surfing, can't let ’em hold me up
Would think they were concession stands the way they holdin' us
I'ma call you niggas windmills, y'all our biggest fans
You niggas studied all my stances, all you niggas Stans
Don’t wanna clap 'em, I applaud 'em and give 'em a hand
Ya'll my little homie's only right, I be the bigger man
My verses cliffhangers, watch out for social climbers
I'm still out here dropping a gem, like an opal miner
Show you a clip and blow your brains and now you're open minded
For all of those searching for nirvana man I hope you find it
Along with inner peace, because I ain't at peace
Wanted that american pie until I ate a piece
Can't compare me to these mortal men because I've been a beast
Might've just started producing but always gave them the beats
[Chorus: CJ Fly]
Thankful, got every reason to be thankful
Ain't short on gas because my tank full
I can't complain 'cause I'm so thankful
Thankful, thankful
Got every reason to be thankful
Ain't short on gas because my tank full (Yeah, Yeah)
I could complain but I'm just thankful (Yeah)
Thankful (Yeah)
[Verse: Kota the Friend]
All them days I was down and suffered in silence
Fellin' like I'm bout' to drown, how fucked up my mind is (Yeah)
Put down the liquid, focused on being solid
Thankful for the shift in the paradigm, it's [?]
Motivation pure, ain't nothin' stoppin' this mastermind
Show you how the fire work like it's a night in Anaheim
My kid beautiful, my chick suitable, the kid dutiful
Mom, dad healthier than noodle soup
Floor's hella cheap the way the bag going through the roof
Sunday at the DUMBO House, we gon' have the usual
Use to be freezing in the crib, five hoodies to a nig'
No goodies in the fridge, no logo on the kicks
Momma's cooking is a gift, how the situation flip? (Yeah)
I had that chip up on my shoulder, had to get a fucking grip
Out in Cali on the 5, doin' ninety in the whip
I remember being stuck, so I love the way I live
[?] spend a day in Vegas, I am coming for them chips (Uh)
Hatin' on the twitter, y'all just love to suck my dick (Uh)
Shorty chattin' used to suck the nut out of my shit (Uh)
Eyes at the twelve, demons coming for my six
God at my three and nine, so He got me if I trip
It ain't all about the money, but I got it on my list
I am thankful, everything made too break couldn't break dude
Even through the hard times momma always made do
All my niggas got a lot of baggage in they make room
Everyday wake up, look up, thank you
Sunshine, blue sky, nigga I am thankful
[Chorus: CJ Fly]
Thankful, got every reason to be thankful
Ain't short on gas because my tank full
I can't complain 'cause I'm so thankful
Thankful, thankful
Got every reason to be thankful
Ain't short on gas because my tank full
I could complain but I'm just thankful
Thankful
[Verse: CJ Fly]
I'm thankful for all our blessings
Broke generational curses
I'm thankful for all our lessons
Because it could've been worse and
Thankful for all my profession
It turned out to all be worth it
I'm thankful for my progression
I'm thankful that I'm this person
Thankful for all my family
Thankful that I have sanity
Thankful for both my grannies
I'm thankful I could live happily
Thankful for our color
Thankful for our mothers
Thankful for our sisters
And thankful for our brothers
Thankful for our haters
Thankful for all our lovers
Thankful for all our [?]
And thankful for all the others
I'm thankful 'cause I couldn't do this shit without you all
[?] for the people in my corner I could always call
Thankful
