| Be thankful for whatever you got, ‘cause you got to be sure to be sure that
|
| you’re not
|
| Ungrateful, ‘cause this life is a gift and the more that you receive should be
|
| the more that you give
|
| So many contemplating whether their cup is half empty or their cup is half full
|
| It’s just a bunch of bullshit, be thankful, be thankful
|
| Hey my brother why you wearing that frown?
|
| Has the system been cheating you, beating and holding you down?
|
| You’ve lost sight of everything that you stood for
|
| And now you’re caught up in the glamour and they got you wanting more
|
| More of their illusionist, hypnotist politricks
|
| They got you on a puppet string, dangling, it makes me sick
|
| Just to see how long its been
|
| We been held captive as prisoners in our very own skin
|
| But listen up my brethren because my friend
|
| Just when you think that things couldn’t get no worse
|
| Remember the last shall be the first
|
| Be thankful for whatever you got, ‘cause you got to be sure to be sure that
|
| you’re not
|
| Ungrateful, ‘cause this life is a gift and the more that you receive should be
|
| the more that you give
|
| Hey my sister, you got no mister, it seems like the end of the world
|
| When you’re a charming and intelligent, graceful and independent,
|
| young and beautiful girl
|
| But you’re searching for that validation, get stuck up in bad relations over
|
| and over again
|
| And you just can’t see that when you give love to so many men, there’s nothing
|
| left for yourself or your friends
|
| But don’t you fear, Jah Love is near
|
| To lift you up and make things clear
|
| To hold you close and hold your hand
|
| To heal your heart and help you overstand
|
| To show you and assure you that you are much more
|
| Than this whole world has made you bargain for
|
| A daughter of the Most High Jah, a mother, sister, lover
|
| This life is just a series of steps, some forward, some backward
|
| But don’t be confused, sometimes when you lose your life moves forward
|
| And remember, the past only lasted when you were living for today
|
| ‘Cause the minute you live in regret is the moment you let your future slip away
|
| So be here now, don’t fight the river flow
|
| Be here now, you don’t wanna miss the big show
|
| Be here now, there ain’t no better place to be
|
| Be here now, ‘cause what will be will be
|
| So be here now, don’t spend all of your days with your head in the clouds
|
| Be here now, ‘cause its so hard to watch the sunset, with a heart full of
|
| regret, wondering if the best is yet to come
|
| Be here now, ‘cause who knows what the future will bring anyhow
|
| Be here now, don’t watch all of these moments pass, stuck behind the looking
|
| glass, wondering what the fates will allow
|
| Be thankful for whatever you got, ‘cause you got to be sure to be sure that
|
| you’re not
|
| Ungrateful, ‘cause this life is a gift and the more that you receive should be
|
| the more that you give
|
| So many contemplating whether their cup is half empty or their cup is half full
|
| It’s just a bunch of bullshit, be thankful, be thankful |
