From mi family and friends happy yeh mi grateful
I may not have a lotta dough but I'm filled with joy
Got the Reggae in my ear yeah the real McCoy
With Natel on the Riddim let me tell how we livin'
Everytime that we fail we prevail that's a given yeah
There's a thing to learn in everything you do
What you give is what you earn is a habit I stick to
Like glue to a feather
I'm used to the weather
Let it rain on my head I never use an umbrella
I know a lot of people ain't as blessed as I am
Walking through Babylon tryna make it to Zion
So I give thanks for everything that I've got
My family and friends
The food in the pot
Now we all break bread
Who would've thought
Spill some liquor for the dead
Keep you in my thoughts
And when the well runs dry I just look to the skies
Count all my blessings knowing I'll get by
You affi grateful grateful grateful

Yea I know life it can take you down
And it takes a bit of work to turn this ship around
But you're the captain
Gotta do the work and make it happen
Take all the bad and talk about it in the past tense
'Cause what matters is right now
So clear your vision and wipe that sweat right up off your eyebrow
Roll them sleeves up
Turn that Reggae beat up
Life is a marathon and I'm certain you can keep up
Speak up if there's something on your mind
Hang it out to dry man don't hold it all inside
Through the lows and the highs
We grow and we rise
Picking up speed and not slowing our strides
Yeah, I rejoice in the little things
'Cause down the line they may turn into some bigger things
I give thanks for love, health and laughter
Life is a book - it's time to write another chapter
