[Gloc-9, Bambu, Maychelle Baay - Thankful lyrics]
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
