I put my feet on the ground
draw another breath
thank whoever’s up above cause I’m protected as I slept
I’m in debt up to my neck but I don’t stress because I’m #blessed x2
I got my health/I got my life/I got my wife/I’m breathing air/I got my sight/I got one hand/if I had 2 that would be all right/but I ain’t stressing yes it’s been a blessing in disguise/
See I just figure long as you ain’t 6 feet under why/would you consider givin in/cause that would undermine/Everybody less well off/and let’s all just agree/ that’s an awful lotta people that would come to mind
Come rewind
Remember when I was in school just a little tyke/wishing I was someone else instead/and then my mom was like/if we all put our problems stack em all high in a giant pile/and you can see what folks are dealing with then you would dial it down/I’m thankful for all the lessons/I’m thankful for cess and for all the sessions/smoking by homies’ blessings/I seen the bro and I know he stressing/Don’t mean to tell him just how to express but /being grateful works so put yo
feet on the ground
draw another breath
thank whoever’s up above cause I’m protected as I slept
I’m in debt up to my neck but I don’t stress because I’m #blessed x2
I got my fam/ I got my friends/..Life is far from perfect/that’s common sense/…now how you choose to look at it that all depends/…see if I’m givin love and being loved then that’s/all that matters and you should never settle for less/…Regardless of mamas or where the bar is set/ …Unresolved trauma got us actin like fauna/ while we puffin on flora/we try to get the best/At least I got my pets(8)
Uh Let’s reflect/-life can be a ____ yeah/like I said/ it depends/ on the distance of your lens/pull it back change the scene/think of all the people who not blessed enough to live like me/blessed enough to look like me/ I thank the ancestors/for these cheek bones/I’ll tell our stories like the griots/thankful for my people/Grateful that no matter what they throw at us we eat those/tomorrow’s never promised so remember/
Put yo feet on the ground draw another breath
Thank whoever’s up above as I’m protected as I slept
I’m in debt up to my neck but I don’t stress because I’m blessed x2
