The Black Ace, Jay Assassin - Thankful Lyrics

I lost my heart when I was 13, my mind when I was 20
My soul took flight a year later, I prayed for Lord to end me
I took that shit right back for fear I'd hurt the ones I love
And then I realized I could never die, my role on Earth ain't done
My bad days are the worst I've had, my good ones like the heavens
I feel blessed to even be here for the chance to have some reverence
Need to see my reverend
I don't have one anymore
So while I wait for God to answer, I've been crawling on this floor
But stepping up is Nike, I just do it
Set up plates and forks and spoons
I make the juice, that lemonade
That cornbread and cranberry
Lips smack at Mac and cheese but first we stop to say some grace
Life is dry as hell like Turkey but ya family is your baste
That good gravy gone set it off, we lay the praise on thick
For all the work my parents putting in, the fact that Dad ain't sick
The fact that Mom can hold us up while bro is on his mission
My role is to forever clean their plates and do the dishes
Thank you to Mom, Dad, Andre
Thank you to Grandma Lucy, Grandma Joyce
Rest In Peace to Grandpa
Everybody, thank you so much
They saying it's dinnertime, turn off the game
Come downstairs, you gotta make ya plate
Calling hella plays on a Razor phone, I got an edge sharper than a razor blade
On walls with the cuz, ya got to take some
Cornerstore, Daddy was on vacation
Uncle James, lawd, he got to say some
6pm and still ain't ate none
It was me, Ni-Nigel, yeah and Jason
Kings where we go, we graduate, uh
RIP my Aunt Shalawn, I love you
Free Uncle Javry, you know we thugging
Devil underneath and God above you
Lord know me and Lex don't want no stuffing
Jonathan, that's my brodie
Terrance and Tyler, my slime, my wodie
I ain't tell em, I just show them
I got force like young Kenobi
All outside, outstanding and balling
Watch for the sunset, praying for they daughters
Tears for the lost like we standing in water
Must understand that we standing regardless
Blood get spilled but I'm washing it always
Beef don't last, I'ma watch for you always, uh
Thankful for the times that we done had
Grateful cause things could be worse than bad
Arguments that fade out like a fad
Grandma, Auntie, Cousin, Mom and Dad
Thankful for the times that we had lost
Thankful for the times that we had won
Thank you for the life you gave me God
Thank for life, you know you gone get one
My Mom, my Dad, Nigel
Alesha, Aleyah, Lexi
Jonathan, Tyler, Gavin
Grandma, Grandpa, I love you
Everybody I love you, I see you
Forever
Yeah
I'm feeling content, my mind is at ease
I'm triggered but never been having to squeeze
Heaven's wherever we happen to be
Playing them games, we pop DVDs
Ace, I'm thankful for my predecessors, my elders, all of they sacrifices
Love filling up the atmosphere in this evil world, shit, nothing like it
Jay, I'm thankful you hopped on this track but I'm more thankful for you
Cause when we rhyme, I feel like I'm just hanging with my crew
Ace, I'm thankful for this brother bond, if they shooting at you, I'll clap back
Lil' thanks giving on the track track
Push heads back like snapbacks, ugh
Thankful to be here (Yeah, yeah, yeah, woo)
Thankful to be here (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Happy Thanksgiving everyone (Happy Thanksgiving everybody in the Bay Area)
Man, thank you to my family, my friends, my fans (Keep that stuffing from around me Aye, aye, aye)
Always for the people (Pass the plate my nigga, pass the plate, stop playing, don't be stingy on the ham my nigga)
Boy where'd you come from?(Yuh, yuh, J-A-Y)
You know where we came from
