I Get To Be

I wake up in the morning, warm and comfortable clothes
Woman next to me who loves me, in a wonderful home
Another day on earth, I work to learn more than I know
And make a better tomorrow just for my daughter to grow
I get to be my better self, I get the pleasure and wealth
Ain't just the money and sex, instead its mental and health
I get the chance to be free, only takes some self discipline
I get to say what I think, I get the same, I get difference
Check my cognitive dissonance, get to reframe my ignorance
Every day new conditions for me to break and feel limitless
Going back to the basics, I get to look and to feel
I get to smell and taste when I get to cooking these meals
I get to listen and recount, I get to bump this and be proud
No doubt, end the night, we'll get to snuggle on a couch
Get to checkin my account, make funds exponentially
Some days are more pleasant, but every day we get to be

Be-Be-Be Thankful for the things that we get
Appreciation of existence seems to bring out our best
Feeling blessed, no regrets, I'm just letting it be
I Get to Be, Be Thankful for getting to be
Be-Be-Be Thankful for the things that we get
Appreciation of existence seems to bring out our best
Feeling blessed, no regrets, I'm just letting it be
I Get to Be, Be Thankful for getting to be

Another day another dollar. more ways to get knowledge
Get to pay child support, til I pay for her college
Get to raise her up proper, to one day be a scholar
Get to tuck her in to bed, and keep away all the monsters
Get to make my own mistakes, break from the paper chase
Get to feeling outta shape, when I can't keep up the pace
I get go to the gym, and blow it on steaks and wings
I get show my favorite things to my lady, no strings
Put on some Taylor and sing, a karaoke kind of night
The hardcore flow but low-key singing Brian McKnight
I get to rhyming on the mic, and record it in my basement
I get to indulge with friend, probably pour some libations
I get lost in conversations, and so the night moves quickly
Get to visit my parents, thanks for life they'd gift me
Get to have my own space, and get to settle the beast
This my self care, right here, thankful for getting to be

Be-Be-Be Thankful for the things that we get
Appreciation of existence seems to bring out our best
Feeling blessed, no regrets, I'm just letting it be
I Get to Be, Be Thankful for getting to be
Be-Be-Be Thankful for the things that we get
Appreciation of existence seems to bring out our best
Feeling blessed, no regrets, I'm just letting it be
I Get to Be, Be Thankful for getting to be

I Get To Be, Get to Be, only life that we live
I get to Be, Get to Be, and spend time with my kid
I get to be, get to be, with family and friends
I get to be, get to be, thankful for what is
I Get To Be, Get to Be, only life that we live
I get to Be, Get to Be, and spend time with my kid
I get to be, get to be, with family and friends
I get to be, get to be, thankful for what is

Be-Be-Be Thankful for the things that we get
Appreciation of existence seems to bring out our best
Feeling blessed, no regrets, I'm just letting it be
I Get to Be, Be Thankful for getting to be
Be-Be-Be Thankful for the things that we get
Appreciation of existence seems to bring out our best
Feeling blessed, no regrets, I'm just letting it be
I Get to Be, Be Thankful for getting to be
