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 Main-man felt Sly should be here another day
That's why I got to be thankful yeah, yeah
I gotta be thoughtful
Ah, ha thankful, you gotta be
Thoughtful
From the thing on my ankle to the top of my head
I've taken my chances huh, 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, thoughtful
Thankful, thoughtful
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 thoughtful
Thoughtful
Thankful, thoughtful
Middle of a 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 thoughtful
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 thoughtful
Count your blessings
My Momma gave me a song and said, "Son, sing it"
Record thankful and thoughtful, 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 thoughtful
You know I'm (thankful and thoughtful)
I should have been happy, I still be there
Something could have come and taken me away
But the Main-man felt Sly should be here another day
That's why I got to be thankful yeah, yeah
I gotta be thoughtful
Ah, ha thankful, you gotta be
Thoughtful
From the thing on my ankle to the top of my head
