[Intro] You know Even when I feel like trash Or see people struggling with cash I realize I'm still here So I'm thankful... You know what I'm sayin'? [Verse 1] I'm just a small kid, from a small town The weather there was good, I never had a frown Right next to the beach, I could here the ocean The message in the bottle? My bottled emotions No big hustle, life was no struggle Somehow I felt like a small fry in a puddle Sky is blue, look at the clouds All I wanna do is make my mom proud Fill dad with pride, I say this out loud "Life is happening because of family" Friendship is fishing; don't catch and release I capture and keep them, true friends till the end Life ain't what it seems but we shouldn't pretend That we know all of her, it be too simple then Look at those who love you, nothing to fear If no one says this, well I'm thankful you're here [Chorus] I wanna thank you (For everything that you do) I wanna thank you (Because you have a choice, you don't have to be here) I wanna thank you (I'm about the love, I'm fighting against fear) I wanna thank you (I'll try to be clear, I'm glad that you're here) [Verse 2] It's the year 92, born to speak to you Just another baby whose first lady's his mom Innocent and young, clear like the sky I pick myself up even though I cry You may not care if I speak of myself But I show you one place to get you somewhere else My life is my advice, the right kind of help Loving girls, with or without what's under my belt These troubles in the world, make you wanna hurl This stress today makes me wanna go away But hey, say this to you boys and girls That I always find another reason to live another day Goodshie awkward feelings or high on life Space Jam, I believe I can fly all night "That's great man, but peace is a fantasy" Well then it's up to us to make it a reality [Chorus] [Verse 3] Just a man and iron suit, when you boil it down Fundamentally fresh, so I can't spoil it now I catch myself asking "Why?" then the wind blows It's telling me to fly, I have to let go All my worries, all my fears Locked in my chest, my heart's still here Beating like the time I asked that girl out I was probably too scared to go back to her house Memories resurface, gotta pull the curtains Focus on the present that I now for certain Yeah, "learn from the past" blah blah blah the future But I'm not a rookie, my flows are like fortune cookies Uh, could have done better yesterday But I'm all about the Now, Yes Today No clouds of doubt, I say this real clear Looking at the sky, I'm glad that I'm here [Chorus]
