Cause without it I would not be a father to my kids
I'm so thankful and so grateful

But I have to open the minds of the next generation
How else can they learn if nobody won't teach them
Instead of showing love everybody wants to beat them

Just be thankful that you not lynched into segregation

Just be thankful and never take anything for granted
If you able to walk then be thankful for that
If you able to talk then be thankful for that
If you able to see then be thankful for that
If you hear what I'm saying then be thankful for that
