Phora - Thankful lyrics

Never happy but always thankful Never satisfied but always grateful I put my past aside and focus on the future But it's difficult when cats who used to like you start to hate you And I owe this to my mom for puttin' up with me All throughout these years when ain't nobody wanna f** with me They used to say I lacked the confidence to set the path But I got a big heart I just let it pa** Often I sit and wonder bout what I'll be remembered as To these kids I wanna be that hero that I never had But then y'all wanna shape me up into a villain And grow off of my downfall and break apart all my feelings But I ain't trippin' 'cause I'm learning to accept the facts Yeah, people come and people go but friends will never last Yeah, and I was wrong in the past Then I realized that all could be gone in a flash, so I'm thankful I'm thankful for the haters 'Cause at the end of the day, it's all just motivation And I'm thankful for my family 'Cause all I really want is for someone to say that they're proud of me And I'm thankful for my struggles 'Cause if everything was easy I wouldn't know how to hustle And most of all I'm thankful for my life, Lord Forgive me for my sins, you know I'm trying to do right, look Now all my exes send me texts sayin' that they miss my voice And how they hate thinkin' 'bout me but they don't have a choice 'Cause all your friends talkin' about me so you can't ignore me. I put my life into this sh**, you should be happy for me. Blood, sweat, and tears over the years Now that I'm gettin' what I deserve Y'all n***as, damn you got some nerve to tell me That I've changed and you think the fame is getting to me But if that's what you think of me then you never knew me. Yeah, 'cause I just want to make a difference And I wanna thank the fans and everybody out there listening 'Cause if I died before I made a change, just know I tried to But most of all, remember that I'm just like you I just want to make a difference And I wanna thank the fans and everybody out there listening 'Cause if I died before I made a change, just know I tried to But most of all, remember that I'm just like you I'm thankful for the haters 'Cause at the end of the day, it's all just motivation And I'm thankful for my family 'Cause all I really want is someone to say that they proud of me And I'm thankful for my struggles 'Cause if everything was easy I wouldn't know how to hustle And most of all I'm thankful for my life, Lord Forgive me for my sins, you know I'm trying to do right, look
