Thankful N' Thoughtful

Sunday morning, I forgot my prayer

I should have been happy, I still be there

Something could have come and taken me away

But the mainman felt Sly should be here another day



That's why I got to be thankful yeah, yeah

I gotta be thoughfful

Ah ha thankful, you gotta be

thoughtful



From my ankle to the top of my head

I've taken my chances hah, I could have been dead

I started climbing from the bottom oh yeah

All the way to the top ah huh

Before I knew it-I was up there

You believe it or not



Thankful thoughfful



Oh something gets me, hah, put my head on tight

Because I know the future everything'll be all right

Until then I'll kick back and let the light shine

Remember all yours coulda been all mine



That's why you ought to be thankful

Hah, hah, you ought to be thoughfful



Middle of stream, hah, I had to change my stroke

I say I put it on the good foot And it ain't no joke

They said I was dyin' I didn't want to go

I kept on feelin' I had to live some more



I had somethin' to tell y'all

To be thankful you oughta be thoughfful



Still rectifying, straightening things out

I know what a good feelin' you're never in doubt

Sometimes I'm by myself- feelin' alone

I just look around and check it out And then it's all gone



I'm still happy to be here

Thankful you oughta be thoughfful

Count your blessings



My Momma gave me a song And said Son sang

Record thankful and thoughfful, be such a nice thang

People got to be reminded where it's really at

Make your Daddy happy Momma likes it like that



You know I know you know I know

I'm thankful you know I'm thoughfful
