Thankful - Haley Smalls

Yeah

Yeah yeah yeah yeah

Yeah

Lord knows that I let 'em humble me

All this shit, it should’ve crumbled me

Looked tumbleweed

Ain’t nobody had no love for me

Crazy facin' that reality

Everyone thought I would be defeated

Lookin' back sometimes I can’t believe it

Now I know that I don’t need it

Yeah, '91 you used to hold me

2010 you should’ve shown me

2015 you disposed me

Lookin' for someone to love me

Always put above me

Wish you taught me how to love me

'Cause I remember those nights yeah

What alone could feel like yeah

Somethin' never feels right and

You’re still pretending that you’re fine and

You freely drivin' while you blinded

Had to end up in the firepit

And ain’t nobody gonna care till you’re gone

Shoulder weighin' like a 100 pounds

I could wait too many

used to keep me up all night

Now I’m doin' alright

I be lookin' at these battle scars

And I be smilin' oh 'cause

I’m just thankful that I’m alive

Yeah, hm

Yeah

Now I’m out here feelin' grateful

Grindin' hard and I lay low

like a halo

Blowin', lookin' like a nigga bawlin'

I see niggas wanna hate tho

I been through a lot of shit

A lot of niggas in my shoes

They would have gave up

Let a lot of hatin' niggas in my circle

Shit I finally had to wake up, yeah

Yeah I’m takin' all my love with me

Give it to the ones who fought for me

Used to let 'em keep me up stressin'

All night, all night

Friends to enemies real quick

Wanna see you doin' good

That’s somethin' that these niggas

Really can’t deal with

I used to let 'em niggas in

And I ain’t doin' that again

They don’t wanna see you win, be cautious

I got money in the bank now

Niggas tryna understand how

I been feelin' like a man now, I

Yeah I used to think

silly dreams

And I would stay up dreamin'

Now I think about it all night

Pain turned into my medicine

Now you never see me settlin'

I look back and I know I’ma win

No matter what there’s no questionin'
