Thankful For Everything - Mafias Mackman

Well it started out in the spare bedroom Two turned tables uh and a microphone I was flipping over 33's Working on rhymes and melodies Searching for some more of you And a little less of me It's never been my dream To see my face in magazines It's always been about the music Hoping God would use it to set some people free But I can say without a doubt I never had it figured out Lord, you've opened every door I've stepped through yeah And I try to keep my head about me I'm thankful for the friends around me I'm thankful for You Yeah Yeah Yeah I'm thankful for You I've been on this road And you come to my shows Sometimes just a few of y'all Other times in droves But you've been right there to rock with us We come together, we lift Him up Seeing you there inspires me, puts a fire in me It's never been my dream To read my name in magazines It's always been about the music Praying God would use it to set some people free But I can say without a doubt I never had it figured out Lord, you've opened every door I've stepped through yeah And I try to keep my head about me So thankful for the friends around me I'm thankful for You Yeah Yeah Yeah I'm thankful for You Yeah Yeah Yeah I'm thankful for You It's such a free feeling that You got me feeling We're all good all good all good I love this free feeling that You got me feeling We're all good all good all good Said I love that free feeling that You got me feeling We're all good all good all good (Yeah) (Yeah) (Break it down now) Yeah, they say you become who you hang out with Well I can tell you for sure You made me a better man And I can say without a doubt I never had it figured out Lord, you've opened every door I've stepped through yeah And I try to keep my head about me So thankful for the friends around me I'm thankful for You Yeah Yeah Yeah I'm thankful for you Yeah Yeah Yeah I'm thankful for you Oh (Thankful for you) Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (Thankful for you)

What are you thankful for? A lot of times, we get too engrossed on what we don't have Instead of focusing on what we have Because really "what you don't have actually don't count" What you have does It is the fact that we focus way too much on the loss, that makes us not cherish our wins No matter what they are, so we completely ignore them The obstacles don't finish, the race only ends when we leave this world Pending then, it's a marathon, not a sprint So I ask you again, what are you thankful for?

I'm thankful for what I've got Don't pay no mind to what I almost had I'm thankful for what I've got (She's got herself a real life better) (She's got herself a real life better) I ain't got no troubles, baby And I'm a long way from feelin' sad I ain't got no money either But that's something that don't really matter I'm thankful for what I've got Don't pay no mind to what I almost had I'm thankful for what I've got I've got myself a real life better (She's got herself a real life better) There's not enough hours in one day To sit and watch all my dreams come true Every day is a sunshine day Probably 'cause I'm happy and not because of you And that is something I can surely be proud of (La-dee-ya-dee-ya) (La-dee-ya-doo-ya) (La-dee-ya-doo-doo) (La-dee-ya-dee-ya) (La-dee-ya-doo) She's got herself a real life better She's got herself a real life better Now I have found while I've grown What I really want in life for me And it's like a dream a dream come true I got the one I wanted, got the one I need And I couldn't be more happy now, I really, really mean it I'm thankful for what I've got Don't pay no mind to what I almost had I'm thankful for what I've got I've got myself a real life better (She's got herself a real life better) I've got myself a real life better She's got herself a real life better Oh, yeah

I do not understand The things I've been given in life aren't there And everything seems against me all the time I don't know how to stand up But I've got faith in myself and all of the things I do I don't need no one else to tell me what I can't do If you don't realize all of the things your life can do You will be left behind Swept up by the storm of those you know I'm just out here chillin' with my fam peeps You don't understand me If you listen to my songs just a little bit deeper You might release my dreams Or you might release my inner demons That's just a little scary 'Cause I don't know them but they all know me And that's just a little weird so I'll keep that to myself I don't have any real hype right now I don't even have a real mic right now, but I'm just singin' on my laptop 'cause I want to I swear no one else can stop you so Just do what you want to Just do what you want yeah Just do what you want to You know that you want to If you don't realize all of the things your life can do You will be left behind Swept up by the storm of those you know If you don't realize all of the things your life can do You will be left behind Swept up by the storm of those you know
