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)
