(Intro)

Aye What y'all thankful for this year?

Naw, naw, naw, I ain't asking what you want for Christmas

I ain't asking what you're complaining about

I'm asking what are you thankful for?

Like what you already have right now, you know?

Hmmm, that's what I like to hear

(Chorus)

I woke up in the morning, I had to thank the lord

He's putting breath into my lungs so I could record

Handed my single to the labels, but I got ignored

I'll rather be authentic, then getting fake awards

Stuff in my life holding me back, I had to say goodbye

I picked up the pain I kept inside, and then I testified

They said your name don't mean a thing unless you're verified

All this pressure under me I got to touch the sky

(Verse 1)

Your smile is contagious, don't let them tell you different

I know your going through a lot, but girl you gotta finish

You might be going through it, stuck up in a clinic

You got the lord inside of you, and so you got to finish

So walk, why don't you walk with tonight

Why don't you walk with God

Just walk, you don't want to say goodbye

Your pain has to say goodbye

(Bridge)

He's lifting me up, yeah

He's lifting me up, yeah

(Chorus)

I woke up in the morning, I had to thank the lord

He's putting breath into my lungs so I could record

Handed my single to the labels, but I got ignored

I'll rather be authentic, then getting fake awards

Stuff in my life holding me back, I had to say goodbye

I picked up the pain I kept inside, and then I testified

They said your name don't mean a thing unless you're verified

All this pressure under me I got to touch the sky

(Verse 2)

Blessings had to give back

I don't need no payback

I play it like a backtrack

And put it in my backpack

So many thoughts in my head that couldn't fit

I was gone for a second, but I had to recommit

I'm only 18, but my mind is older

I'm trying to change the game man, before my time is over

They be moving hella fast, but they forgot the motor

They're like a soda, they're popping when their shine is over

(Bridge)

He's lifting me up, yeah

He's lifting me up, yeah

(Chorus)

I woke up in the morning, I had to thank the lord

He's putting breath into my lungs so I could record

Handed my single to the labels, but I got ignored

I'll rather be authentic, then getting fake awards

Stuff in my life holding me back, I had to say goodbye

I picked up the pain I kept inside, and then I testified

They said your name don't mean a thing unless you're verified

All this pressure under me I got to touch the sky

(Post Chorus)

I got to touch the sky

I got to touch the sky
