thankful

Lyrics

, tell you when the song nets, that's so bad, i just wanna thank you for, all the things that you have done, and if not for you i won't be, the person that i'll become, but tell me why things have to change, and what i felt for you is not the same, all i know is i, all i know is i, all i know is i, i want to get out of here, it's crazy how you wish for the things in life, all the things you want, all the things you like, but you gotta be careful cause you might get it, find yourself at the airport when you lightheaded, you wanna stay home, close your eyes and listen, to your headphones, memorizin' the songs, that at times when everything is still simple, why did it happen so fast, it's so nimble, can i get a amen, we're not in a temple, when i call you 'hey man', i try to rekindle, skills that i've learned, scars that i've earned, i never let go even though i get burned, watch the replays, dues that i pay, i kneel and i pray like everyday, but then i realized that everything is still empty, i wanna get out of here, can somebody help me, i just wanna thank you for, all the things that you have done, and if not for you i won't be, the person that i'll become, it started when i held you in my hand, it felt good, cause that's the only thing i asked for and i stood, and looked up the sky or knelt on the ground, believe me when i tell you what i saw i found, but don't get me wrong i ain't sayin' it's easy, like wearin' air-yeezies in a third world country, you gotta fall in line, wait 'til you get a turn, ask after you sign, everything is a blur, plus there ain't a lot that try to help me when i'm down, and it seems like everybody only sees me as a clown, who wants to grab the mike and say yes yes yo, i made you see the pictures with the words that i draw, i ate all them criticisms, i spoke but i listen, feed all my thoughts, got the keys to the prison, but there are times you gotta smile even though you're hurt, i just wanna let you know i'm thankful for what it's worth, i just wanna thank you for, all the things that you have done, and if not for you i won't be, the person that i'll become, i thank all my kasama in the jungle, huddled around the fire singing songs about the struggle, and study the basic problems, tryin' to resolve 'em, protract the struggle in the name of those who fallen, in a third world, first world vamps spread noles, regardless of my ideology and social views, at the core of it all i wanna feed the poor, i don't want young pinays to be shipped to foreign shores, i don't want giant hotels in manila sellin' tours, i want us to produce things that we can call ours, i wanna thank the few who do the work for the masses, thank the teachers in school who kicked me out of classes, and the women who i love so bad, here's a thank you for my dad, who tells his son about the struggles back home, block-bam, block-siam, to tell you when the song nets, i just wanna thank you for, all the things that you have done, and if not for you i won't be, the person that i'll become, but tell me why things have to change, and what i felt for you is not the same, all i know is i, all i know is i, all i know is i, i want to get out of here
