Gratitude - Cephas

Phill

Yo track what’s up na

Bro I’ve been thinking lately

I noticed something

These days nobody wants to give thanks anymore

Nobody’s grateful

Cephas

True man

It has come to my realization

That our lack of gratitude

Will cause us to wake up someday

And find out that all we had in hand

Is gone

Just because of our lack of appreciation

Phil

Yea yea yea bro

You just reminded me something

(How you feel)

I remember the other day at my dad’s office

Me looking out the window saw a man working

He was pulling out grasses from the ground with his hands to survive

He was happy tho he had nothing

This got me thinking what was his salary

Paid so little works wholeheartedly

Probably has a wife and kids small family

Have to care of them this his strategy (Ayiiii)

Looked up grateful my G

Cause I woke up and i ate food like this

Plates on the table I mean

I really should be thankfull per meal

Permit me to tell you this

You don’t thank for your food

Then you don’t eat it

You don’t get the greatest things

If you ain’t thankful for this little things

You just complaining each morning

Just cause you wanting a bigger Mercedes

While there are people still mourning

No clothes but still wear a smile as disguises

This not a fictional story

I’m not the jury so I ain’t judging

Advice for all of you hearing

Be thankful it’s funny how fast you could lose it

Cephas

Hmm…

I feel.

I feel when you grateful for what you have now

You’ll soon have more

Like you have to give thanks for the warm meals

And gathering of friends

You have to give thanks for the mother

Who partakes for you in prayer

And your father working multiple jobs

So you can have what you need

Give thanks for the little things

What really matters

Give thanks for the sad days and the tears that express what words can’t say

Miles caliph

First things first

Gratitude is a fucking must

You a Christian in the church

Or a Muslim in a mosque (say)

Why you acting up

What’s up with the attitude

Oh you the reason why these niggas staying mad at you

Say

Now I gotta thank God for the cool toys

For the smart phones

And the laptop and the cool shoes

Now I’m blessed with a cool flow

Try to tiptoe off my intro

Cut your hand off like a whitlow

Yea you got mad bars

But weak flows

Music be like drugs

And I be feeling like a distro

Up in the club and I be booming like a metro

Dumb ass nigga who can’t do without the expo

Man I’m grateful for all the times

They try to put me in a box

I mean they tried to play me

Like an Xbox

But right now I’ll be standing like a fucking boss

Then I had to make them realize

That I’m the future

Yea I said that better get this shii televised

Cause I’m the rap president

Any rapper on this track is just a fucking vice

Say

Yea I’m grateful

Man I’m thankful

I don’t know about you

But God bless me like I sneeze hathew

So they asking dumb ass questions like chuchu
