(Intro)
Aye What y'all thankful for this year?
Naw, naw, naw, I ain't asking what you want for Christmas
I ain't asking what you're complaining about
I'm asking what are you thankful for?
Like what you already have right now, you know?
Hmmm, that's what I like to hear
(Chorus)
I woke up in the morning, I had to thank the lord
He's putting breath into my lungs so I could record
Handed my single to the labels, but I got ignored
I'll rather be authentic, then getting fake awards
Stuff in my life holding me back, I had to say goodbye
I picked up the pain I kept inside, and then I testified
They said your name don't mean a thing unless you're verified
All this pressure under me I got to touch the sky
(Verse 1)
Your smile is contagious, don't let them tell you different
I know your going through a lot, but girl you gotta finish
You might be going through it, stuck up in a clinic
You got the lord inside of you, and so you got to finish
So walk, why don't you walk with tonight
Why don't you walk with God
Just walk, you don't want to say goodbye
Your pain has to say goodbye
(Bridge)
He's lifting me up, yeah
He's lifting me up, yeah
(Chorus)
I woke up in the morning, I had to thank the lord
He's putting breath into my lungs so I could record
Handed my single to the labels, but I got ignored
I'll rather be authentic, then getting fake awards
Stuff in my life holding me back, I had to say goodbye
I picked up the pain I kept inside, and then I testified
They said your name don't mean a thing unless you're verified
All this pressure under me I got to touch the sky
(Verse 2)
Blessings had to give back
I don't need no payback
I play it like a backtrack
And put it in my backpack
So many thoughts in my head that couldn't fit
I was gone for a second, but I had to recommit
I'm only 18, but my mind is older
I'm trying to change the game man, before my time is over
They be moving hella fast, but they forgot the motor
They're like a soda, they're popping when their shine is over
(Bridge)
He's lifting me up, yeah
He's lifting me up, yeah
(Chorus)
I woke up in the morning, I had to thank the lord
He's putting breath into my lungs so I could record
Handed my single to the labels, but I got ignored
I'll rather be authentic, then getting fake awards
Stuff in my life holding me back, I had to say goodbye
I picked up the pain I kept inside, and then I testified
They said your name don't mean a thing unless you're verified
All this pressure under me I got to touch the sky
(Post Chorus)
I got to touch the sky
I got to touch the sky
