A fistful of steel in my right hand | |
And if it be Jah will | |
I began | |
Giving thanks and praise | |
Cause I coulda been | |
Pushing up daisies | |
With Babylon trying to phase me | |
But I evade it you see | |
Ya if was | |
Something that had nothing to do with me | |
Giving thanks for the quest | |
For one love and one unity | |
Cause free is what we should be | |
One people not in captivity | |
Giving thanks for the sun up above | |
Shine on everyone | |
Raise a Jah love | |
It keeps my black skin black | |
So you know it's a factor | |
Giving thanks for the days that's past us | |
Jah provides not because he has to | |
Giving thanks for what I have Jah | |
Remember I and I | |
When you're passing by and by | |
Would you ever see an eye | |
When I give thanks and praise | |
.... | |
Well even if you got the whole damn world on your shoulders | |
Every day you're still alive | |
But a little bit older | |
I just shake it off | |
Can't let it get me down | |
Especially in this crunch time | |
I won't just wanna sit around and?? | |
I got to keep my shit together | |
We been walking on this earth forever | |
I might've lost my job | |
Lost my girl's touch | |
But I ain't in a rush | |
So hush baby hush | |
I'm just chilling in the park | |
Clear my mind | |
It's a nice day | |
The sky's still blue | |
The wind is still blowing | |
The trees are still growing | |
My baby boy is two | |
You're getting bigger everyday | |
We chilling Philly | |
Around the way where we living | |
Got the whole world in check | |
This is just the beginning | |
So I keep my mind open | |
Eyes shining bright | |
I'm an old dog learning new tricks every night | |
And every time you get cut | |
You know you might get scarred | |
But don't sweat it kid | |
Just remember who you are | |
When I give thanks and praise | |
.... | |
Giving thanks for the birds | |
And the herbs | |
And the words I speak | |
To a superb sound | |
Giving thanks for the funky dope sound | |
Giving thanks for the ground | |
Place stone | |
Haile Selassie (JAH!) | |
Jah will being done in the fulfillment of the prophecy | |
Door to door | |
King of Kings | |
All eternity | |
Giving thanks for my health | |
'Cause I know that somewhere there's children starving to death | |
Giving thanks for my friends and my family | |
I couldn't make it sometimes | |
Without them helping me | |
Someday this world will come up | |
Babylon taking me through phases | |
We're still giving thanks and praise | |
Gotta give thanks and praise |
