Gloc 9 - Thankful lyrics

[Intro: Bambu] Tell you when the song nets That's so bad [Chorus: Maychelle Baay] I just wanna thank you for All the things that you have done And if not for you I won't be The person that I'll become But tell me why things have to change And what I felt for you is not the same All I know is I, all I know is I All I know is I I want to get out of here [Verse 1: Gloc 9] It's crazy how you wish for the things in life All the things you want, all the things you like But you gotta be careful cause you might get it Find yourself at the airport when you lightheaded You wanna stay home, close your eyes and listen To your headphones, memorizin' the songs That at times when everything is still simple Why did it happen so fast, it's so nimble Can I get a amen, we're not in a temple When I call you 'Hey man', I try to rekindle Sk**s that I've learned, scars that I've earned I never let go even though I get burned Watch the replays, dues that I pay I kneel and I pray like everyday But then I realized that everything is still empty I wanna get out of here, can somebody help me [Chorus: Maychelle Baay] I just wanna thank you for All the things that you have done And if not for you I won't be The person that I'll become [Verse 2: Gloc 9] It started when I held you in my hand, it felt good Cause that's the only thing I asked for and I stood And looked up the sky or knelt on the ground Believe me when I tell you what I saw I found But don't get me wrong I ain't sayin' it's easy Like wearin' air-yeezies in a third world country You gotta fall in line, wait 'til you get a turn Ask after you sign, everything is a blur Plus there ain't a lot that try to help me when I'm down And it seems like everybody only sees me as a clown Who wants to grab the mike and say yes yes yo I made you see the pictures with the words that I draw I ate all them criticisms, I spoke but I listen Feed all my thoughts, got the keys to the prison But there are times you gotta smile even though you're hurt I just wanna let you know I'm thankful for what it's worth [Chorus: Maychelle Baay] I just wanna thank you for All the things that you have done And if not for you I won't be The person that I'll become [Verse 3: Bambu] I thank all my kasama in the jungle Huddled around the fire singing songs about the struggle And study the basic problems, tryin' to resolve 'em Protract the struggle in the name of those who fallen In a third world, first world vamps spread noles Regardless of my ideology and social views At the core of it all I wanna feed the poor I don't want young Pinays to be shipped to foreign shores I don't want giant hotels in Manila sellin' tours I want us to produce things that we can call ours I wanna thank the few who do the work for the ma**es Thank the teachers in school who kicked me out of cla**es And the women who I love so bad Here's a thank you for my dad Who tells his son about the struggles back home Block-bam, block-siam, to tell you when the song nets [Chorus: Maychelle Baay] I just wanna thank you for All the things that you have done And if not for you I won't be The person that I'll become But tell me why things have to change And what I felt for you is not the same All I know is I, all I know is I All I know is I I want to get out of here
