DJ Khaled
And I know that somebody been praying for me
Head above ground and I could've been six feet deep
Out on these streets, wanna get down on my knees
I'm thankful (thankful), I'm thankful (I'm thankful)
I'ma blow this bag for everybody who counted me out
And I still got love for all my dawgs who holding me down
Head above ground for my n- and my dawgs
I'm thankful (thankful), I'm thankful (I'm thankful)
I done dodged a few heartbreaks
Never lost a thing I can't replace yet
Couple times, thought I wouldn't make it (thought I wouldn't make it)
Then I came up ten toes out the basement
I done had to mute, f- noise
Did a couple things they left me no choice
I done hit some licks that my mama won't be proud of
Said we gon' be rich, give her something she can smile for
The devil on the block and he lurking
Tryna hit me up with a dozen
But when I look around, shit ain't worth it, that's for certain, yeah
And I know that somebody been praying for me
Head above ground and I could've been six feet deep
Out on these streets, wanna get down on my knees
I'm thankful (thankful), I'm thankful (I'm thankful)
I'ma blow this bag for everybody who counted me out
And I still got love for all my dawgs who holding me down
Head above ground for my n- and my dawgs
I'm thankful (thankful), I'm thankful (I'm thankful)
But I'm still out here making moves, ooh
I'ma do what I got to, I'ma do what I got to
Too many n- gone too soon (I'm gonna do what I got to)
Ain't tryna lay up in a box two feet wide, six deep
You won't catch no RIPs off me
I'ma do what I got to (I'ma do what I got to)
I'm gonna do what I got to
Somebody's been praying for me, for me, for me
I could've been six feet deep
When I get down on my knees, I'm thankful, I'm thankful, I'm thankful
I'ma blow this bag for everybody who counted me out
And I still got love for all my dawgs who holding me down (holding me down)
Head above ground for my n- and my dawgs
I'm thankful (I'm thankful), I'm thankful (I'm thankful), I'm thankful (I'm thankful)
Sit down, be thankful
Big smile although it's painful
I look up and see clouds, weed angels
Seen white chalk make street angels
You're welcome, look down, feet dangles
Be proud, be shameless
Yeah, be now, be ancient, yeah
It been my turn, let me cut off these blinkers
I cut off these strangers and ifs ands and buts of the strangers
I never relinquish, I'm thanking Franklin as an acquaintance
Destiny danger, I done seen from every angle
From my neck to my ankle, the spots on this leopard ain't changing
N-, that's for the wangsters, 50 told me that, I say thank you
I been got the bag, I done turned that to the blanket
I been out of hand so I don't wanna dap 'less you banging
I'm being quiet, man
Just waiting for these rappers to thank me, de nada
And I know that somebody been praying for me
Head above ground and I could've been six feet deep
Out on these streets, wanna get down on my knees
I'm thankful (thankful), I'm thankful (I'm thankful)
I'ma blow this bag for everybody who counted me out
And I still got love for all my dawgs who holding me down
Head above ground for my n- and my dawgs
I'm thankful (thankful), I'm thankful (I'm thankful)
But I'm still out here making moves, ooh
I'ma do what I got to, I'ma do what I got to
Too many n- gone too soon (I'm gonna do what I got to)
Ain't tryna lay up in a box two feet wide, six deep
You won't catch no RIPs off me
I'ma do what I got to (I'ma do what I got to)
I'm gonna do what I got to
Sit down, be thankful
Big smile although it's painful
I look up and see clouds, weed angels
Seen white chalk make street angels
You're welcome, look down, feet dangles
Be proud, be shameless
Yeah, be now, be ancient, yeah
